Corona and other diseases

In that regard, there's virtually no point in covering anyone who tests positive, yes?

Again, it's newsworthy that she, like many other vaccinated and boosted folks, tested positive. So for some news outlets to not utter a peep about it is quite strange. CNN even today has an article about Savannah Guthrie, boosted and vaxxed, testing positive. But nothing for a sitting member of Congress? Tell me that's not even the slightest bit odd.

And among CNN.com’s other/current stories: Golden Globe winners, chef Gordon Ramsey pranks his daughter’s boyfriend, and scientists teach goldfish to drive. So among those need-to-know items, you’d think AOC would get a mention...

Tell us you watch Fox News unironically, without actually saying it.

Come now. Surely you can do better than that. Also, some of us read newspapers, not cable TV news. You know, forming your own conclusion and not parroting someone else's talking points.

Strange concept, I know.

I get really sick of people pointing out that people who are vaccinated can get COVID.....uh, yeah, we know. Being unvaccinated and unmasked exacerbates a public health problem and those people who don't get vaccinated run a much, much higher risk of being hospitalized and dying. You are more likely to transmit the virus if you don't follow protocols. That is a fact. If you think this is a personal decision and decide to not get vaccinated or wear a mask as suggested, then perhaps you won't take up a hospital bed if you get really sick or will isolate yourself from those you might harm. If so, great. If not, you are impinging on the health and safety of others.

Finally got my booster shot today. I took the Moderna this time around instead of the Pfizer like I did for my first two doses. Pharmacist said I might experience feeling some chills and some dizziness but so far I feel pretty okay.

It is fascinating to read the reactions of people wanting to boycott McDonalds because the Ronald McDonald House in Canada seems ready to relocated unvaccinated families. Still have some issue getting over the idea of families of immunocompromised kids refusing the vaccine...

Business Insider - Acting FDA head says most people are going to get infected with COVID-19

Since that's 50%+1 of the population over a time horizon of years into the future that's not impossible. Plus our capitalism-at-all-costs (RISK YOUR HEALTH/LIFE FOR THE ECONOMY) society made up of the poorly educated puts us at the forefront of the world for COVID19 to burn though and feast on.
