America is about to be passed in vaccinations by France, to our eternal shame
Government officials have tried just about everything to get Americans to be vaccinated against the coronavirus: lotteries, cash, weed, pop stars.
Yet the country not only failed to hit President Bidens goal of 70 percent of adults receiving at least one dose by July 4 denying us free beer but we still havent hit that mark. As of writing, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 68 percent of American adults have received one dose and 59 percent have been fully vaccinated. The implications are grim, as the number of cases nationally has begun rapidly climbing back up, doubling in the past week.
So allow us to introduce another incentive: raw patriotism.
The Olympics are beginning in a bit over a week, and the United States is sending its second-biggest team in history. The aim, as always, is to cover medal platforms with red-white-and-blue-bedecked Americans, yielding numerous photos of people chomping down on golden disks. Yet in the international lets-not-die-from-the-coronavirus competition, weve dropped out of medal contention.

And by the way, the Olympics are being run as I figured they would be run. In a bubble. The Greeks used to put wars on hold to have them.

(658 posts)As our population is decreasing as a result of the deaths caused by the corona virus, the 70% mark will be reached. Just not the way rational thinking people would have wanted it.
Our country is about half full of lunatics today. Well... a little less than half, and that number will be falling over the next few months.
I hang and shake my head in disgust and despair daily.
