It's over 99% and we more or less know who it affects the worst. The great exodous from the blue states will only increase.

Does Georgia count as a blue state or not?

As of now I would say no. But in 20 years, when you go to pack up and leave, please think about whom your voting for while in your new state. That's all I ask.   Seriously though, these over the top lock-downs in these deep blue states... and they're still trying to sell us on it being about "the science." Really?   Shutting down outdoor dining is an imperative. etc...

One percent of the population is 3 million people. All those that survive may not do so at 100% from the looks of things. A big part of the survival rate is the quality of healthcare delivered. If the number seriously ill outstrips the ability to treat as effectively or at all death rates will be substantially higher. This is simple stuff. Apparently not simple enough for some.
BTW I do not support the blue state abuse of power and draconian measures. They haven't done better than other states. And their abuse of power isn't surprising. All liberals are tyrants at heart.

So the research company sent me a letter preemptively to try and keep me in the vaccine study. Basically they said if you need to know for work your vaccine status they'll tell me otherwise they'd prefer not to. If they tell me and I'm placebo then I can go get the approved shots. If I have been vaccinated with the AstraZeneca shot they recommend I don't get the approved shot saying getting both hasn't been studied so they don't know it's safe. Hmmmm. I just read they are going to open a trial in the UK where they do just that. Give both vaccines. They wouldn't run the trial if they didn't think it's safe. That's Phase 1/2 stuff.Â
I'm scheduled for Jan. 7. We'll see.

Just got the first of the Pfizer vaccine. Hurt like a hornet, the big Japanese kind. I'm done crying though (I wept like 3rd gen when he sees a spider on his ceiling), and back at the hospital subbing in.

Unfortunately they have to wait a few weeks for the TDS delay the FDA put in place because of the Democrats. Should cost approximately 20 thousand Americans their lives. Thanks to Harris, et al. for that. Safety data would be available at the same time as efficacy data given how the studies are designed. No medical or scientific reason was given for the add on delay. None was given because there isn't any real reason.Â
So Biden can put away his task force and his mask mandate. The Trump administration's Operation Warp speed has won this battle. The issue now is getting it manufactured and distributed.

Then he retorts something about feeding you a toxic nut.

As teen and young guy I was fairly fearless otherwise. Not so much now. Maybe a spider got on my face as a baby or something? I remember freshman football a guy threw fuzz on me in the locker room and said it was a spider and I leveled him just in reflex like some PTSD vet reacting to a loud noise. No one ever did that again.
