In talking to a friend who is a neuro nurse that gets forced to the covid unit occasionally she said she just saw her first vaccinated covid positive, but they were there for a GI issue and only knew he had a breakthrough case because they test everyone. Meanwhile she’s seen hundreds of unvaccinated positives. Sounds similar to your experience recently. The vaccines truly are unbelievably effective so far.
Nate seems to not get that Delta is a highly localized phenomenon. Some place well vaxxed. Some places lucky so far. Very uneven distribution. Maybe he should tell Louisiana health officials they should be complaining so much.
Had to drop nate from following on Twitter, way way way overdue but he’s been quiet for some time and nothing put him over the top until now. Yes you can dunk on me for ever following him if you want.
Oh wait looking for COVID news from The Villages…yeah looks like The Villages has stopped reporting COVID news. Far as I can tell The Villages has their fingers in their ears and yelling I can’t hear you.
For those who were as fascinated by this headline as I was, I can save you some time with key points from the article:
This was not a retired grandparent chugging down Fireball “Whisky”. It was a 37 year old dude.
Not exactly playing against stereotype: As he was being placed under arrest, Watson began to “loudly yell racial as well as homophobic slurs at law enforcement."
It turns out that he was not actually drinking Fireball, but rather Flashpoint Cinnamon Whiskey, rated 0/5 here, and described as “just a cheap knock-off that can’t even pull off being terrible correctly.”
The comments in the original Villages-News article helpfully point out that, “Technically, Fire Ball is for camping. Old Granddad is for fishing. Don’t cross the streams dude. We have traditions to maintain.”
There’s plenty of blame to go around. This is the natural consequence of letting organizations like Fox and Facebook spread misinformation, letting people like Donnie Dumb Dumb do their thing and face no consequences. An awful lot of the “reasons” to not do anything are obviously just excuses that privileged people are using to avoid taking any action. It’s pathetic.
