I'm in town of about 45,000 and the numbers show about 100 people a day are getting

COVID and at least half of these idiots don't even care. If we'd had that pace the whole pandemic, all of us would have had it and then some!

One anti-vax friend has it and is whining about being tired of being sick and wishing the headache would just go away. Her husband probably had to get vaccinated because he's the head phlebotomist at a large clinic. Yup. Draws blood and stuff all day every day, one after another. He's stuck me several times. I'm in and out of there in 20 minutes. So, he has to be in close contact with at least 20 patients every day. It would be really easy for a guy in that situation to be a major spreader all by himself.

1. Why isn't your friend happy that her plan to catch COVID succeeded?

More importantly, why is she your friend? You need to upgrade.

3. IKR

Her plan is also succeeding in denying me medical treatment that I need.


The OP should tell her how proud she is of her.

2. North, east, south or west? Different regions are at different infection rates.

5. Lower Dumbfuckistan (Idaho). :) n/t

4. We had over 300 in a month in a town of 9000

That seems like an awful lot to me.

6. My crappy little county of 30,000

had 407 in six days.

Masks are either "of the Debble" or a plot by George Soros, the Illuminati, and the Reptilians out here though. Either they are barely-literate and eat whatever garbage their favorite Televangelist defecates directly into their skulls or they are marginally-educated and have just enough intelligence to get them into trouble. An enormous level of entitlement informs the latter named; lots of delusional trust-funders who get into cultish belief systems as a fun little hobby.

7. Hospitals here are desperate for blood. I'm pretty much as good a platelet donor as you can find.

I must be close to 700 units because they can get three each donation from me. I just had my six-week post-surgery appointment after a knee replacement and am cleared to donate. Not a chance! Only because of the COVIDiots.

8. Oregon, two counties have over 2% infection in one week. 5% fatality of 70-79 year olds

which is my demographic, 80+ is 15.8% fatalities.

We have really excellent reporting by the state:
