Salad spinners. And ice cream sundaes.
That's you. Your biggest complaint early in the pandemic was you couldn't buy shoes. You didn't want to take covid seriously because you think you have had it and are thus immune. All your reactions to covid seem to have stemmed from this real or perhaps imagined immunity.Quote:

I'm trying to get those I know who are eligible vaccinated ASAP, but I'm not the one complaining about how it's unfair this or that group is going first when there are simply too few vaccines to vaccinate everyone immediately (I'll complain if vaccines are sitting in warehouses). Although prisoners are not prioritized here.
I saw on BBC News that China is telling its people the virus originated in the US, the US tells people it originated in China. Every country wants to make itself look good. I don't think this WHO thing is going to work.

Surfaces don't spread covid, people who travel around the world do. Our leaders are so stupid.
It is fascinating seeing the Russian troll farm at work.
Wait a minute! People here have disagreed about ice cream sundaes?!
is this a spelling issue?
I’m appalled.
Just don't put the sundae in the spinner. It won't go well.Quote:

Might be a way to make a shake that doesn’t require a blender. Multipurposing the salad spinner and getting rid of the blender. Seems like simple living at it’s best!Quote:

Cut to commercial break and the Florida Keys is running an ad encouraging people to come on down for vacations.
Gotta hand it to you, you're absolutely relentless.Quote:

I wonder how you become a Russian troll. Seems like an easy second income stream. You can do it from home and pick your own hours. I wonder how much they make.
A couple of weeks ago I learned that a high school friend of mine died from COVID. He was my age, 68. I had on my to-do list for today to send a sympathy card to his wife. I just learned that she passed away last week.
Two people who had children and grandchildren. They are just two people out of 400,000 that have died--people who shouldn't have had to die, and were it not for a disease that has not been adequately controlled in this country, they would both be alive today.
Take a look at the NYT today. One year post-COVID, Wuhan is in full swing and back to normal, while we stutter and start into Year Two with thousands of people dying every day. Almost 4,000 just yesterday. Jay and Karen Curtis from Lexington KY were just two of them. I pray for their families, and for political leadership that cares.

I wonder how many other problems will be found to have been ignored or made worse by the last administration, as vaccine distribution was. With government bureaus decimated, I imagine quite a few. The new crew is in for a monumental challenge.
And what would one give to live somewhere they had controlled it and have life back? Nearly everything.
But a lot of countries failed to one degree or another. But of course Trump made everything worse, there was a distinct upswing in people out and about after Trump started tweeting his "liberate" garbage. Even in a blue state? Yep. It's hardly that everyone is a Trumper, it's just that what was a shared effort ...
Is anyone really shocked at the coup when so many local public health officials quit out of threats to their lives, due to Trump and what he encouraged.
Most Russian trolls are unpaid folks who simply amplify the message unwittingly. They are called "useful idiots".Quote:

Clearly you didn't need to go out shoe shopping at the beginning of the pandemic. Your shoes fit just fine it would seem.Quote:

I think that guy got blocked from social media.Quote:

This is why I don’t block you because sometimes you make me laugh. This made me laugh.Quote:

But its easier to snipe.Quote:

There has been some discussion here of Israel. I found the end of this article interesting. If you come from a hot spot and go there you have to quarantine for 14 days in a government approved motel. You cannot say, "I'm going to quarantine at home." They watch you.

Since the US can't handle this type of monitoring (we can't even handle the testing and vaccinations) we need an international travel ban.
I heard on the radio today some doctors finally admitting that a mask does not stop covid. Their solution? Everyone should wear two masks at the same time. Nothing like doubling down on a bad solution!
If this idea gains currency I expect an increase in deaths from suffocation.
Everyone I know is now wearing double masks and we are all still alive.
