The US is getting better across the board at administering the vaccine. Europe, sans the Brexiteers, sucks. I hope you're preparing for the flood of thinkpieces about how the uniquely American features that make us bad at controlling the pandemic also make us better at vaccine distribution. it is not going to be obnoxious at all 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same compassion for that group too. And if there is something I can do to not impact others, like not smoking in a restaurant, driving safely and not at excessive speeds, or buckling my kids in every time we go somewhere...i will do those minor things too. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What did they die of? Has there been efforts to reduce loss of life by the American public? Did the wanton disregard for doing so have potential impacts on others?

BodyBagGame Posted Wednesday at 01:58 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:58 AM Started feeling bad last week and quarantined up on the mountain. Lost sense of smell and taste on Friday. Came down and got tested yesterday. Obviously it came back positive tonight. Feels like I have a cold basically. So far I am lucky I guess. Need to quarantine until March 3. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a world. It kind of puts a damper on the belief in your fellow man to do the right thing in times of crisis. Unfortunately it’s the hard cold reality that a large number of humans are assholes. There are also a helluva lot more good people that put themselves directly in harms way to deliver and sell us groceries, to treat the ill, respond to emergency calls, etc. What a world 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
