Pro-covid Florida is determined to take the rest of us down with it.

The video is of Miami partying hard. Mostly maskless, of course. The Uber driver working though frightened and feeling powerless when people refuse to wear masks in HER car? That's America writ large.

"Covid-19 is like gravity. You don't have to believe in it. It doesn't require faith, it's immune to prayer, and it doesn't discriminate. At this point, if people choose to deny gravity and jump off buildings while calling other people sheep, the best the rest of us can do is keep our distance so they don't fall on us."

Yipee! They are back up!

I’m sure this had nothing to do with Russia’s recent cyber warfare against the U.S. as Trump sucks Putin’s thumb.

Sudden loss of taste tells Tik-Tok user she has Covid-19

Just yesterday I was on the phone with someone in Louisiana telling me she rarely sees anyone wearing a mask. Young adults the world over generally feel invincible, but the long term health effects of Covid-19 are a big price to pay.

Editing to add that the sense of taste or smell doesn’t always return.
