@rechu I hope your brother has a mild case and recovers quickly!

@BreakForTheLight Congrats on the new job! Hopefully we have lower case counts this summer like last summer and your concerts work out. I think we all have our 'thing' that we are willing to risk a little for.


Part of me feels like it doesn't even matter what we do. I live somewhere that had strict rules which most people followed. Even without a mandate, people still wear masks indoors. Vax uptake is among the highest in the US - and none of it matters. We have more daily Covid cases than Florida even though they have 15x as many people. We are seeing record breaking case counts, horrifying numbers. They are sending the National Guard (a branch of the military that generally responds to domestic crises) into hospitals and nursing homes to help address staffing issues. I read the federal govt. is sending people as well. The majority of the people clogging up the hospital system are unvaccinated. Why are we still dealing with this?

@Discombobulated Politicians around the world have behaved shamefully. Rules for thee, not for me. I don't envy anyone trying to lead during this mess, but you'd think someone who had a bad case of Covid and a baby would follow his own guidelines. The maskless photos in the hospital were so disrespectful to the medical staff and patients.
