A great book, requires reading to understand. Good news it is on Amazon so all political filters can access this information. The down side is it wont justify hate or fear.
Requires reading a missing action in most angry bipartisan types. https://www.amazon.com/COVID-19-Politics-Pandemic-Moral-Panic/dp/098789546X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=FRNZDFS2HTG&dchild=1&keywords=the politics of a pandemic moral panic&qid=1610553964&sprefix=the politics of a pandemic,aps,158&sr=8-1

nah, not going to read it.

For laughs, this is what people who read that crap like:

a bookshelf of "alternative facts"

How about reading something from people who aren't pushing a peculiar radical right wing authoritarian agenda?

Sorry its not "right wing" or any other fear based lable. Unfortunatly if you can read and let information past your ego barriers you would be able to see without fear. Fear of reading alternative points of view is sad and narrows a persons focus. I read and watch all info and am not actually "right wing". I find otherwise "normal" people in this state of "right", fascinating. What if being "right" and the need for that format is an addiction to fear. Fascinating stuff. Looking into the discussions around fear, evil, and ego boundaries provides some illuminating information. I too once spewed hate and pointed at "others" with a pat on the back from society. I know its nice to have that safty and bias support, however as soon as you get on the other side of the counter you learn the full picture. Fear and anger sells and reduces management costs on a global scale. Managing people ( tax farms) is not easy. Narrowing the complications of systems and social enviroments down to simple lables is for simple people. People in this environment are thinkers and I fig the experiences with alternative medication would give enough insight to provide less fear and more independent thought. Im ok with being wrong, but I am not one of your delusions.

Are you a doctor in infectious diseases or something?

If not I would call bullshit that you know enough about this to be so adamant that you are not in the wrong for posting that material.

Look, you do the alternative reality that for some reason is pushed by the authoritarian and radical right. I'm not reading that crap. "Coronavirus False Alarm" lulz. This isn't a moral dilemma, it's a fucking virus. It doesn't care about morality. It just wants to feed. Trump completely botched his response to this epidemic. Plain and simple. Your kind make it so complicated.

I'll stick to reality that for some reason, moderates, left and right hew to. Epidemics are nothing new. People who study them have good reasons for their recommendations. It's not a moral choice to wear a mask and follow other guidelines from the CDC, it's completely rational.

A big covid news day here on the sandhill. Sister had a 0900 appointment for her Moderna jab. She had been sick, and they wouldn't give it to her because she had had a fever. They did give her a test though. About noon they called to let her know she was not covid positive.

A little later in the afternoon we heard from the Denver bunch. The middle kid has tested positive. The youngest has symptoms, but they didn't test him. So far my niece and nephew (the kids' parents) are still testing negative.

Right at 1500 the health department called the wife, telling her someone had cancelled, and if she could get there by 1600 she could get her jab to day. So we jump in the car and head to town. 20 minute drive, 4 minutes to do paperwork, 1 minute to get the shot, then 10-15 minute wait to check for bad reactions. She was so stoked. She will worry about shit if given time, so this was the best possible way to get it. No time to worry.

I'm not saying it's 100% that the wife got Sister's shot, but. . . . . . .

The health department lady is a long time customer of mine. (or was before the world turned sideways) She said she would keep me in mind if they had any extra at the end of the day like they did today. I'm still a week away from 60, but she said not to worry about it. It would be better than wasting a shot. So far they have given over 1K shots and no wasted vaccine. So good on them. County is about 14K total population, with 1.4K cases.

Georgia is now code red and ranked 16th in the nation for Covid-19.

Schools are shutting down again this week going full digital.

Hospitals are at or beyond capacity.

Grady Memorial (the largest hospital in Atlanta) has stopped taking patients.

WINNING!!!
