You know what sucks worse? Telling the whole world that coronavirus is a hoax. telling everybody not to get vaccinated and then getting iCovid and the last lucid moments or your life are the last moments before they put you under for intubation.
I posted that my wife's boss, the one that refused to enact just a few simple safeguards that forced her to quit, very recently died....of covid.
You know what sucks is the collective biases and maladaptive behaviour of people focused on the polarisation of society such as we have seen with racist bigots, homophobes and now antivaxers/vaccine enthusiasts.
I can live with biannual boosters, but 40% of republicans won't, the cleansing of America might take a couple more years. Five times as many will become disabled by covid than die and for most that will mean economic dislocation, loss of jobs and homes in gerrymandered districts. Serious cases of covid have become more or less optional now, in the beginning they viewed it as a form of biological warfare against blacks, but since vaccines, the tables have been turned on them.

I think people forget that though nationally 49% of republicans are ant vaxx, that many of them are concentrated in geographic areas that is reflected by their vaxx rate. Vaxx data is county by county, just like votes and the vaxx map looks like the election map. Because of this concentration of republican antivaxxers and anti maskers and because of behavior in these areas it should amplify the effects of the pandemic, like high community spread and overwhelmed local hospitals where the mortality rate shoots up and people die at home.This was deliberate where republicans were in power.
Uncounted: Inaccurate death certificates across the country hide the true toll of COVID-19
In some counties, half of the spike in deaths during the pandemic is attributed to COVID-19. Researchers say that points to a massive undercount.www.usatoday.com
There was a very good Nova about this. About five million years ago when they learned to fly is when their T cells started staying on all the time. My thoughts is that since they fly at over 100 mph, the amount of shit they breathed in while flying triggered the mutation.
Politics always play a big part in which deaths get counted. Most blacks were not counted among the Spanish Flu deaths.This was deliberate where republicans were in power.

Wow, we were just taking about China at work this morning and their early lockdown in Wuhan back at the start of the pandemic. Too bad it had already gotten out into the rest of the world before they went full lockdown though.China imposes lock down of up to 13M people in Xi'an amid COVID-19 spike
China will impose an indefinite lockdown on as many as 13 million people in the city of Xi’an to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the region.
The decision was announced on Wednesday and will take effect immediately.
Under the mitigation measures, one person from each house is allowed to leave every two days to purchase necessities. People must have an important reason to leave their homes otherwise, according to The Associated Press.
Per the order, all transit in and out of the city will also be suspended except for special circumstances, the AP reported.
The decision came after the city saw just over 50 new locally transmitted COVID-19 cases. The policy is one of the strictest the country has seen since the lockdown in 2020 in Wuhan, where the disease was first discovered, according to the wire service.
China has taken a hardline approach to COVID-19 measures, imposing lockdowns and strict masking and testing requirements.
As the country prepares for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, set to begin on Feb. 4, measures have increased.

I listen to a music program from a guy from here who has been in China teaching for years. While we had people dying and the economy closed down, they had life generally go on as normal once they reduced the transmission. I would not want to trade places, but there is no BS there about doing your part for society.
