Today's one-liner: "The shortest way to the distinguishing excellence of any writer is through his hostile critics." Richard LeGallienne
The stock prices of COVID vaccine manufacturers are crashing, but according to The Washington Post, the virus is on the rise. Hospital admissions have increased, but are still far below where they were at this time last year.
I reside in senior housing, and there are several cases. They appear to be mild.
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
My mother and father in law both had it 3 weeks ago . My father in law was hospitalized for 15 days. My mother in law was sent home with the plaxovid. Both okay now with some loss of taste and coughing. They are their mid to upper 80s. Live in Bethlehem.
ReplyDeleteI received several comments that still seem to deny the existence of this virus, which I refuse to post.
ReplyDeleteIt exists, but the suggested danger is artificially inflated
Delete-Dumbass
It is odd because the same people in the next breath accuse Faucci and Gates for developing it in their basement. I actually believe that might be true because Faucci got the advanced deluxe chemistry set from the Sears catalog.
DeleteAs you can see, from 2 comments, no one cares about covid anymore.
Delete827 is not dumbass but I do agree with them
DeleteDumbass
I mean, it’s not like viruses mutate or anything…
ReplyDeleteI got 3 doses of vaccine. I don't want more. Anyone else in this group? Risk vs return?
ReplyDeleteGot my booster a couple of weeks ago. Arm was sore for a few days but otherwise no side effects.
ReplyDeleteThat you know of.
DeleteStatistics and general information related to the success of the last boosters against the Omnicron variant was limited and basically that which was available said not effective. Also they still have not told anyone the time frame for protect after infection. This is unacceptable if they expect pet to make an educated decision about the new booster to be released. Risk v benefit can't be determined. We are expected to blindly accept without facts. Being in the medical field this is extremely frustrating and we wonder why it's being questioned. Give the facts to us to make an educated decision shame on them if they don't have more data after all these years
ReplyDeleteA registered Democrat says that CoViD is back in time for a presidential campaign. Weird, huh?
ReplyDeleteThere are almost no cases. This is outrageous fear mongering. Appears most are laughing at you though. That's reassuring.
ReplyDeleteWhen covid hit Nashville the birth rate dropped because family reunions were not allowed.
ReplyDeleteAnd the world is better off
DeleteI'm due for another booster. Happy they're available.
ReplyDeleteI got the original vaccine and the booster. I’ve had the virus twice. I feel fine so I’m not getting anymore shots.
ReplyDeleteCovid is real I am just laughing you used the Washington Post. Maybe next time cite the Babylon Bee or the national inquirer
ReplyDeleteRe 1:15 pm; I totally agree. I took the first two boosters and am quite done. As info did trickle out about how this virus works it became clear that vaccines were going to be at best catchy and should have not been given out to broad base as it was. My issue is that Covid-2 is a corona virus much like the common cold and they mutate often, which makes a vaccine just about impossible. I had two bouts with this; one extremely mild and one that lasted a week like a bad cold and did not have a fever, lose taste and smell; just annoying. I expect to get the next variant. Just add this to the list of seasonal respiratory issues.
ReplyDeleteMost of you anti-intellectuals won’t read it or will dismiss it as “wokeism” but this new study suggest that higher covid deaths among Trump supporters has had an impact on elections throughout the US and will have an even bigger impact on the 2024 presidential election.
