Hard to believe Americans are protesting for the right to catch, and spread, COVID-19

Well, from what I'm reading, most Americans plan to continue to stay home regardless of restrictions or no restrictions. Maybe it would be okay to let the idiots, who are crying about freedom, do as they please. Only problem with that is, guess who's going to run crying to the hospitals when they get sick?

That's right, Buddy. That's what professionals do and thank dog for them. Among the galling idiots' signs I've seen was one equating the choice to have an abortion with one to vaccinate children. But you know, I agree! If you're going to make one a choice so should you the other, it's only fair and American. Except for this proviso: unvaccinated kids aren't allowed contact with any other kids.

I'm thinking of composing the music for anti-vaxers to use when they change their tune should a covid-19 vaccine become available.

That Vegas mayor is one crazy, crazy woman. Thank God she doesn't have the power to reopen, and the governor slammed her down.

In one county, at least, in PA the health officials decided to not count the presumed cases and deaths to count. Only the tested ones count toward the totals so that they can show the decrease in cases and allow for reopening early.

If vaccines come out: I react badly to vaccines, because of the sulfite preservative in the multiple dose vials, but I'll take Benadryl for a few days, which is how I have been able to control anaphylaxis from vaccines in the past. A lot of people don't know that preservatives can cause these reactions, not the vaccine itself. I just wish single dose vials were available - they don't have preservatives!

Entertaining tread....

Four months ago I figured I might die some day from PCa, now I think the chances of that are quite diminished. I had to do some volunteer work, high risk or not, so maybe the virus gets me, or my wife will kill me, or just watching everything cherished disintegrate will do it. When basic services stop and food in is shorter supply than toilet paper, things will get very interesting. Life isn't guaranteed, and maybe we're just doomed.

I am so proud of all the courageous, selfless activity going on, just as I'm saddened by the selfish, mindless, stuff happening. Trillions being thrown around, quite inequitably for sure. Science, politics and all of us have few valid answers but are very willing to point fingers, condemning those who are trying to fight what may be an unbeatable foe.

Just random thoughts....like most of this thread.
