it’s not not about the surge , it’s about Ron patting himself on the back in November trying to score political points with his base who are more likely unvaccinated and who are fueling the explosion and the breading ground for new Variations of the virus
The conservatives line is oh look the vaccines don’t work people who are vaccinated still get Covid … it just more misinformation they latch to like a life raft ..
Just Like the Netflix movie don’t look up ..

Day by day, week by week, every state breaks records. Sometimes high and sometimes low. Becomes fodder for keyboard warriors. Like a ghastly new age sport. Last gender standing is the winner.

Pete, you commented on FL daily over the summer when their data was awful. Then in the fall when they had some of the best statistics in the country, you refused to mention FL. now that their umbers are bad again, you’re all
over it.
do you not see your bias there?
do you think we don’t all know what you’re rooting for here?

You consistently praised the virtues of DeathSantis, claiming his policies were the best of all.
Odd that his best statistics were found to be falsified
Have you forgotten?

and when his numbers were bad, i had no trouble speaking to that or admitting it. i’m capable
of criticizing those i agree with.
we’re getting to a point where number of cases is t going to mean much, because most of us are going to get covid regardless of what our state does or doesn’t do. what matters is death rates, adjusted for the population of elderly in each state, compared to the degree of lockdowns in that state. FL could
come out looking horrible in that view.
You guys all still refuse to criticize Cuomo for the way he handled things, but you attack Desantis. they can only be because of rabid partisanship. What other reason is there?

with the exception of west virginia(who pete hates)..the top ten "highly vaccinated" states are all at record levels of cases and most are still trending up(wait for the Christmas booster)......the bottom ten "poorly vaccinated" states are not....they might get there but they aren't even close to the rise in cases currently occuring in the "highly vaccinated" states...doesn't really seem fair

pete's beloved south korea
DEC 22 South Korea is struggling to contain a surge in Covid-19 cases, reporting 7,456 infections on Wednesday and a record number of people with serious symptoms, as countries across Asia face a similar battle.
The new infections bring South Korea’s total to 583,065, while the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said the number of critically ill patients rose to a new high of 1,063.

Yes, as usual the data says you’re using a number deceptively to make it into something that fits your narrative
South Korea has a declining 14 day average of 11 while the USA has a 14 day average of 72 that has almost doubled in that time
It's insane how we still have to buy tiny toothpaste and take our shoes off to board a plane 20 years after 9/11, but 800,000 Covid deaths couldn't get us a temporary vaccine/test requirement to fly.
But we’re free

Another one not understanding what Variant means Spewing nonsense that the covid of last year is the covid of today
original covid everyone had equal exposure
Delta (B.1.617.2). This variant is nearly 2x as contagious as earlier variants and might cause more severe illness. The greatest risk of transmission is among unvaccinated
Omicron (B.1.1.529). This variant is 4x as contagious as delta spread more easily than other variants, including delta. But it’s not yet clear if omicron causes more severe disease.
Unvaccinated People Are Increasing the Chances for More Coronavirus Variants here in America and around the world
Don't look up

plenty of vaccinated people are spreading it now. they just don’t get very sick.
college campuses with 100% vaccination rates are seeing big outbreaks. the vaccine appears very effective at reducing severity ( which is great) , not so much at reducing frequency. especially with the new variant.

Too funny, the guy who doesn't understand what COVID means, telling people they don't know what variant means.

There is a measurable decline in cognitive function in people who had just ONE episode of Covid.
What happens after multiple bouts with the virus?
How is the economy going to look if the average age of dementia onset is 60 years rather than 84?

The whole world will be dumbed down, so then we should have economic "equity." Critical theorists should like that.

I think if we are going to continue to fire people who don't have covid and are unvaccinated/unboosted....it's only fair that we also fire people who are vaccinated/boosted and get covid....

How dare anyone make responsible behavior a condition of employment.
Almost every employer has a long list of things you’re required to do or prohibited from doing.
Bet you can think of a few all by yourself

Conditions of employment
Don’t like it go find another job.
And I am sure there have been people whom have lost their jobs for not wearing their seatbelts where required by the employer
