The current vaccine is going to be useless by then, you don't think in a few months more variants that elude the vaccine will be around?

Joe Shades is gonna be sitting on the pool steps, in his black jeans and black shirt, telling a 4 year old about how many people die in accidental drownings every year.

I love the accidental drownings mention. I remember TEW bringing this up non stop during the gun control debate years ago on the old board. Thank god my kid is now doing school from home due to Covid, don't have to worry about rogue swimming pools showing up at school trying to drown her.

Scared people into getting it the following year, then everyone went back to normal behavior the year after. Just a guess though.

February 16, 20215 yr I found an even better avatar for @Joe Shades 73. Eeyore is kinda passe. Marvin the paranid android from Hitchhiker's is better methinks.

February 16, 20215 yr https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/16/health/us-coronavirus-tuesday/index.html CDC data shows more than 1,100 cases of the highly contagious B.1.1.7 variant -- first detected in the UK -- have been reported in the US. The agency has previously warned the strain will see rapid growth in early 2021 and will likely become the predominant variant by March. "I think we should be assuming that the next wave of case growth, to the extent that we have it, is going to be with B.1.1.7, and that's something that I think everybody has to be even more cautious about," Andy Slavitt, White House Covid-19 senior adviser, said on MSNBC on Monday. "It's nice to see the numbers of cases drop, but it could be misleading."

Don't go all zuker on me and not even read the stuff you post.

February 17, 20215 yr I hope I am premature with this post. Everyone wants everything yesterday. Get it done. Just stop. Sometimes you have to take a hit. It’s coming. Trust me. We are not getting our elderly vaccinated. Do they not matter? Do we realize how many there are living in an independent or even assisted living still not getting vaccinated? But you are? Our society has isolated them. I’m glad my parents are dead. Stop jumping ahead in line because you know somebody and think you’re going to be safe. Guess what? You’re not. You are all going to get old and die of something anyway. F covid! Huge black mark in our history.

My 85 year old father recovering from a heart attack can’t get one. The states set the order in "the line” but the logic is a bit bizarre.

Service oriented stuff needs done. On a covid perspective I trust we will get there. I’m just not so good on a personal level. Sorry. I’m pissed, sad, and working through a lifetime of ish. It sucks. Do I want to just give up or keep going? I ask myself this every damn day. The rules have changed in my old age and what I thought would be is not what it is. Suck. Suck. Suck. And I’m going to wake up tomorrow and do it all over again.
