5. I read these stories and sometimes feel so sad
Sun Sep 19, 2021, 10:46 PM
Sep 2021

Because of the obstinance and stupidity of so many of these people. Of course I feel bad for the loved ones but I sometimes want to scream "How could you be sure it wouldn't touch you? You're supposed to take precautions to protect your loved ones." They don't trust science that gives them this wonderful thing - for free. You don't even have to go out and hunt sites down any more. Just go to your drug store. The statistics they don't believe because they do their own "research" on the internet but at the wrong sites. Look at the number of deaths of the unvaccinated and then the chance of the vaccinated dying. If they have smaller kids and later they ask how their mother died are you going to tell them because you didn't think the vaccine worked? In years to come, unless we are taken over by the RWs and history rewritten, they are going to find out their mother died of ignorance pushed by an army of trolls and right wing media.

Sorry, I'm just so tired of seeing these stories and wonder how long we have to endure them.

Also, Anne Arundel General Hospital in blue Maryland has delayed all elective surgeries requiring overnight admissions because of the COVID spike to free up beds. It just feels like this will never end.
