At least, in some cases, the meetings will be outdoors. That’s better, even if not perfect. Also fortunate: By now a lot of granparents have been jabbed. That’s actually good.

The Easter Skull.

They’re to (dye) for.

Pretty!

Medical experts predicted that there would be variants, given time. Thanks to the anti-maskers and the crowd pleasers, the disease was given the time.

I can remember when news that when the rabbit died it brought fear into many a young man’s heart. He wasn’t coloring Easter eggs.

Thanks to deep partisanship, the complementary ideologies that normally work together, have instead been collected into two — and only two — distinct political parties (wouldn’t work if the was even one more viable party) with two distinct moral codes, turned against each other and completely thwarting any collaboration, cooperation, consensus, or progress in their cold, heartless, truth-less, civil war that allows pandemics, food insecurity, unaffordable healthcare/education, climate change, irrational fear, bitter hatred, and internal armed violence (guns/knives/vehicles/etc) to continue unabated.

You now have the government and society you deserve, because of your need for deep partisanship so, Happy Easter America.

I have a hypothesis – and no, I am NOT a medical expert in any sense of the term – that once vaccinated, we should be mostly safe from the variants. The reason I think this is that the vaccine sensitizes our bodies to the spikes on the virus. Those spikes can’t change much, because if they do they risk not being able to “lock in” to the receptors on our cells. If they can’t lock in, they can’t infect us. So only the virus that has the current spikes have a chance of locking in. Everyone who is vaccinated should be safe, no matter how much the virus itself changes.

Thanks to Republican covid spreaders.

Today is the one day of the year that, if you call a friend, you need not be alarmed if they say, “I’m dyeing.”!

I read on the www.. so it must be true.. that the latest COVID variant is political party specific and that republicans are immune.

Easter, everyone loves it!

Loved this, Mr. Rogers.

American horror story. Married couple we know, that are in their seventies, have had one shot and believe they are immune. Their kids have traveled from all over the country to be home for Easter. I asked if any of their children had been vaccinated. No, they all did their research and decided not to bother with it. Oh, OK. If there ever is a pandemic of a virus that is truly deadly, Stephen King, The Stand, deadly I think this country will pass into history as the last stand of the most moronic humans ever.

Reminds me of “Hogfather” but not in a good way.

According to the CDC, for people 60 or under with no comorbidities, the survival rate of Covid 19 is 99.5 percent, including variants.(which tend to spread quicker, but are LESS deadly in general)

Where’s the Easter Beagle when we need him?

It didn’t have to be this bad. But never ever ever ever forget who made it this bad, as due to his incompetence, mismanagement, and utter lack of anything remotely resembling a human conscience, every single day we set a …

There’s a nice picture of Gaetz and Greenberg and the Gov of Florida with their arms around each other. Greenberg is the guy with mafia connections who set up all the crimes and is now confessing his head off so he doesn’t get life in prison.

The Easter Bunny Covid strain.
