    Stay home, Pig. If it isn’t delta, then lambada will get you.

    I’m an introvert…I didn’t change my habits a bit during the lockdown, except to wear a mask at the store and the gas station, the only two places I leave my home for

    I live in Az. and there’s been almost 3000 new cases A DAY! Double digit deaths. Because a lot of people have stopped wearing masks.

    It’s becoming more apparent all the time that the last two months were just the eye of the storm. Don’t let down your guard because it’s just coming at us again from a different direction.

    Ugh, in my town everyone has been told to close down again. But at least Rat has a point. It’s nice to be able to stream all these new movies for a billion times cheaper than seeing them in theaters. You don’t even have to buy a gallon cup of soda, which is a size small, for fifteen bucks.

    7 states have banned masks. This winter is gonna be epic. By the way, what many don’t even think of, paying the hospital. Even with insurance 20K – 150K depending on treatment.

    My friends all drifted away over the last year. Didn’t see each other so forgot one another, just like family decades ago. Most movies made today are mindless dreck, careening from one action sequence to another with little discernable plot, 1 dimensional characters and none of the deaths matter as they will retcon all the important people into survivors for the inevitable sequels. End of the pandemic, height of the pandemic nothing in life really changes.

    My band just got together for the first time! Playing and recording our individual parts alone in our homes, sending to Drop Box, and having our tech guy putting it all together for a Zoom “concert” is NOT the same.

    Ok, so Fauci finances gain of function experiments on covid and then shares that information with the Chinese. It escapes/released and kills millions world wide but the media still acts like he is our savior?

    COVID 19 or any of the variants, regardless of the type of variant, are still highly contagious, anyone is able to give it to anyone else, even if the other person has been vaccinated. That is called a “breakthrough” infection, and while they may get slightly sick they will probably not be admitted to a hospital and die. Even so, any infected person can pass it to someone who has or has not been vaccinated and that is especially true if their health is compromised, or have a previous existing medical condition. This is true for children who cannot be vaccinated yet—and therefore will put many lives at risk.

    This not about a person as an individual, but about not infecting others.

    That action is an unconscionable act. As humans we have to care about more than just ourselves here. The vaccine is safe, more than 4.5 billion doses have been administered with less than a .001% identifiable problems.

    Get vaccinated and all of these so called “doomsday” variants will die.

    What’s interesting is, back in 2009, Schumer admitted that policies like Trump’s are good for the nation.

    Oh look, one of the trolls tries to pass of the NY Post and “conservative” “christian” BS as verifiable and author active news and sources. Turd Reich op-ed’s are not legit not unbiased, and not reliable, let alone sources. Cults never do use facts, science, or any data supported by accredited research. And being accredited by themselves is as shady as Rand Paul’s attempts at it. Still no cattle and the hats look an awful lot like dunce caps.

    The crowd that thinks having a philosophy based on fear mongering, hypocrisy, hatred, and vitriol is either “conservartive” or “christian” is in truth neither.

    And learn to check what your sources are and who owns them. Otherwise people mistake things like the now defunct “whitehouse.com” for “whitehouse.gov” and also believe what was posted on a slick website on MLK but was actually owned by a member of the KKK. Some people are still dumb enough to think other people who are smarter than them won’t notice that crap.

    Let’s test out what Rat said:1) Eat all my favourite foodsNot possible due to government ban on dining in (in my country)2) Play games with friendsNot possible because there’s nowhere to meet.3) See latest movies Not possible due to cinema closure (in my country)4) Shop for latest stuffPossible, thanks to Amazon.

    Conclusion: Rat got only 25% correct. How sad.
