I think people have the right to make bad decisions (I know I can sometimes cut my nose off to spite my face, though never to his extent!), but with covid their bad decisions affect so many others- the medical staff that have to care for them, vulnerable people who have immune system problems, etc

Edit: To be sure people understand what the doctor that David was quoting was saying and not rely on the miss-quote by Norah in the tweet I will add this. He said it "appears" to turn off your immune. It seems this confused some people. It likely does not actually turn it off but it evades it for a period of time to allow itself to be replicated before antibodies are produced. This would definitely explain the rise in "breakthrough" infections of fully vaccinated people.

“Back in 2020 and early 2021, when the vaccine wasn’t available, it was just tragedy after tragedy after tragedy,” Cobia told AL.com this week. “You know, so many people that did all the right things, and yet still came in, and were critically ill and died.”

"In the United States, COVID is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated, according to the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Alabama, state officials report 94% of COVID hospital patients and 96% of Alabamians who have died of COVID since April were not fully vaccinated."

“You kind of go into it thinking, ‘Okay, I’m not going to feel bad for this person, because they make their own choice,’” Cobia said. “But then you actually see them, you see them face to face, and it really changes your whole perspective, because they’re still just a person that thinks that they made the best decision that they could with the information that they have, and all the misinformation that’s out there.

“And now all you really see is their fear and their regret. And even though I may walk into the room thinking, ‘Okay, this is your fault, you did this to yourself,’ when I leave the room, I just see a person that’s really suffering, and that is so regretful for the choice that they made.”

I mean there are people who can’t by law or medical conditions but otherwise, I agree.

And people are entitled to express derision/scorn/ annoyance at those views, particularly if they are foolish or poorly founded or harmful to others. If you can't handle people reacting to things you say or defend you views, that's your issue, but listening to reaction to what we say is a fundamental part of us developing. Pretending you're far too sensitive to handle that is kind of pointless for all people concerned.

Florida's decision to not take COVID seriously from the start is now catching up to them. The Delta variant is not to be messed with. DeSantis has also stopped mask mandates in school. This is going to be horrific. Kids will infect each other and then come home and infect their families. I believe Aug 10th is when school starts in Florida.

at what point does it become justifiable for Biden to declare martial law in FL & TX and take over?

I just got the answer to one of the question I raised in Briggs post about not being able to have large scale public events.

https://www.salon.com/2021/07/31/will-things-ever-return-to-normal-it-doesnt-look-that-way-right-now/?fbclid=IwAR2wxzbxVBixhySLg0zt1rMLcYBr107UOt2nhZ7gs72WgNsmYg17xY50XJw

On Friday, that hope went out the door. The CDC internal health document obtained by the Post and the Times urges federal health officials to "acknowledge the war has changed." What changed the CDC's approach to COVID was "unpublished data from outbreak investigations and outside studies showing that vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated," according to the Post.

So if we're all vaccinated, great that we're not getting sick to the extent we die, but if we're able to transmit at the same level as unvaccinated, then there is no way we can stop this from basically infecting everyone.

I guess my hope is we get folks vaccinated globally and eventually this becomes like the other coronaviruses we have lived with for years.

But thinking about the next five years, it's going to be masking up all the time in public settings, especially large indoor venues.

With this Delta Plus variant we now have variants of variants. Apparently there is also a Lambda variant in South America. The longer it takes for the unvaxxed people to get vaxxed the worse it's going to get.

Interesting that the new mRNA Vaxxes basically copied how the virus replicates.
