Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19

@devilboy

Wrong.

Most certainly not in that age group, nor am I left leaning in my political stance. I am decidedly non partisan. You however, sound like you don’t have a passport and have never left your own zip code, hence the regressive and ignorant viewpoints.

And yes, I was born and raised in Norway. Have lived both in Scandinavia and North America. Remember when the Cheeto in Charge wanted Norwegians to move to the US? He wanted the well educated, skilled and well to do people Norway had to offer? Yeah, they were not interested…

You are confusing something for communism. Do some research on the Scandinavian countries. That is what the “left” wants for America. Free education, free healthcare etc. Oh wait, that would require the ability to think outside of your own little box. 
And, it’s people who live with the kinds of fears, paranoia and ignorance that the right preys upon. They know that there are large segments of the population who feel they have not been given their fair share. Entitlement is gross. Add being lazy to that, and you are ripe to be targeted for radicalization. 

The unfortunate thing about facts is that they are immutable or you might say you don't believe in the virus but the virus definitely believes in you. On the vaxxed unvaxxed divide:

Nationwide, the number of new Covid-19 cases is holding steady. But that steadiness hides two dueling realities, in two different Americas.

In many urban and suburban communities, Covid continues to plummet. The rate of new daily cases has fallen below three per 100,000 residents in large cities like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington. As a point of comparison, the national rate of new daily cases peaked last winter above 75 per 100,000 people.

But in less populated areas — which tend to be more politically conservative and skeptical of vaccines — the virus is now surging, largely from the contagious Delta variant. The states with the worst outbreaks are Arkansas and Missouri (each with more than 16 new daily cases per 100,000 people) followed by Florida (10), Nevada (10), Wyoming (nine) and Utah (eight).

If these outbreaks were concentrated among younger people, it would be less worrisome, because Covid, including the Delta variant, is overwhelmingly mild for children and young adults. Yet even many middle-aged and older adults are not vaccinated in parts of the U.S. They are catching the virus as a result, and some are dying.

Dead people are dead people not statistics and we're at 600,000 and counting in this country, it's time to shutup take the vaccine and save some lives.

Like I said, addressing the dozens of uninformed but fervently held opinions is like playing whack-a-mole. It’s hopeless. First, it would be nice to stop hating each other.

Negating this disease and linking it to political parties is pure stupidity...It is better not to post about  this anymore here....
