Tragic

I can see the karma argument people seem to like and undoubtedly some of the people like the extreme right radio hosts weren’t very nice but the tragedies playing out in families behind the headlines are heartbreaking.

I agree.

Some of the comments on that thread are inhuman.

This explains a lot.

I agree, it could be argued that the tragedy occurs as soon as these people fall down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and misinformation though.

A lot of the anti-vaxxers are victims here too.

I had a look and the CDC commented on this in March so not sure why its taken this long for the media to shit their pants

CDC report

From that the take home was ' Vaccine was 86.5% protective against symptomatic illness among residents and 87.1% protective among HCP'

So as usual the bottom line is the vaccine works get it in your arm ASAP

id be surprised if had to wear masks tbh, always pumping air /oxygen in and probably want to encourage as many people in as possible ( within reason ) due to losses from last year or so.
not sure of governors stance on covid in nevada though, could be a stickler.
