We Must Get MOVING, Now, or… We might as well just hang it up. Too much fear around here, in this world. No More Fear!

But it's the people who want to act like nothing is different and just carry on with no precautions that are the cause of the virus resurging and cases and deaths rising at various places around the world.

The terrain is everything the germ is nothing.

Nor are the nominal deaths.

I don't need anyone to TELL me what to do. Given there's a highly contagious virus circulating around the world and including here, just following common sense precautions would seem to be a pretty simple thing... At least, for those who are capable of exercising some common sense.

 

On the other hand, some folks never do figure it out:

 

Conservative radio host who called himself "Mr. Anti-Vax" dies of COVID-19

 

"Yet another right-wing radio host who spent months railing against public health and vaccination efforts succumbed to COVID-19 this weekend after a protracted battle with the virus. 

 

Marc Bernier, who called himself "Mr. Anti-Vax" at one point, died Saturday night after spending three weeks in the hospital. The news was announced by Florida's WNDB-AM/FM on Facebook. He was 65.

 

Consistent until the end, Bernier's last tweet compared vaccination outreach efforts to Nazi Germany."

Or some do figure it out, but only after it's too late:

 

Florida radio and Newsmax host who opposed Covid vaccine dies of Covid complications

 

Dick Farrel "texted me and told me to 'Get it!' He told me this virus is no joke and he said, 'I wish I had gotten it!'" a friend wrote on Facebook.

 

Dick Farrel, a former right-wing radio host in Florida and anchor on Newsmax TV, died Wednesday of complications from Covid-19, NBC affiliate WPTV of West Palm Beach reported.
 

"He was known as the other Rush Limbaugh. With a heavy heart, I can only say this was so unexpected. He will be missed,” Farrel's partner, Kit Farley, wrote on Facebook, according to WPTV.

...

Farrel was a vocal and staunch advocate against the coronavirus vaccines, which he posted about on social media, once calling them "bogus." He also railed against figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom he called a "lying freak."

And where are the stories of those fully vaccinated that died regardless? I'm sure there are a few that questioned their decision. It happens, but the media doesn't report it because it doesn't fit the narrative.

I have never taken female rowers seriously, simply because their boats are slow. 

 

STILL:   I LOVE female crew. 

The advantage that the Thai female rowing crews have over their opponents is their tiny cox.

My town in USA has 785 covid patients in hospital.  685 of them are no vaccine.  All of the serious ICU patients are the no vax.  The hospital beds are all full so if you get in a car wreck or have a heart attack there is no bed for you.

 

How anyone can look at figures like that and claim that vaccinations are a bad idea is truly amazing.

Yes, let's get moving, and stop dithering about the real and effective measures that are capable -- if adopted and meaningfully enforced -- of slowing and stopping the pandemic, everywhere!

 

1 in every 500 US residents have died of Covid-19

"(CNN)The United States has reached another grim milestone in its fight against the devastating Covid-19 pandemic: 1 in 500 Americans have died from coronavirus since the nation's first reported infection.

 

As of Tuesday night, 663,913 people in the US have died of Covid-19, according to Johns Hopkins University data. According to the US Census Bureau, the US population as of April 2020 was 331.4 million.

 

It's a sobering toll that comes as hospitals in the US are struggling to keep up with the volume of patients and more children are grappling with the virus. In hopes of managing the spread and preventing more unnecessary deaths, officials are implementing mandates for vaccinations in workplaces and masking in schools."
