Have Yourself a Merry Little Covid....

 

Here it is a week before Christmas...year two of Covid...Omicron is quickly displacing Delta as the dominant strain...way over 5 million are dead worldwide...but here in the states we have Boebert, Palin and MTG encouraging their followers to not get vaccinated and saying they would rather DIE than get the vaccine.

UH....okay.

Omicron is hugely transmissible and multiplies (per the CDC) 70x's faster than Delta once it is in your respiratory tract. 

Back to wearing a mask everywhere and avoiding everyone.

The red states have skewed the numbers because (wait for it) they are no longer reporting cases or deaths.

If we ignore it...it isn't happening.

Jesus Wept.

The numbers are roughly as follows:

My County

unavailable

My State

(last available number)

1,181, 554 cases 

18,385 dead

 

My Country- USA

51, 696,205 cases

826,205 dead

Worldwide

274,939, 500  cases

5,369,791 dead

Nearly 275 MILLION cases

Well over 5 MILLION dead...

And still there are people who don't believe it is real...or a threat...some saying it is a political hoax.

sigh

I just can't...

Still over here. 

Masked.

Vaccinated.

Alive.
