It's no doubt that 2020 was a horrible year for most.
We had to deal with Drumpf, racism and that nasty 'ol bug called COVID-19. When 2020 began, we thought about the connection between the name 2020 and the fact that clear vision was indeed 2020.
Instead, the year 2020 was a giant headache. Instead of going to the movies, we had to watch them at home. Do you love concerts? Tough shit. Dining out? Too bad, ya gotta eat out in your car or at home.
But yesterday, the beginning of the end hopefully came.
The first COVID vaccines from Pfizer to be shipped to American hospitals flew out of Gerald R. Ford International Airport here in Grand Rapids Sunday. Today, a female black nurse in New York City became the first person to officially receive the vaccine. Here in Grand Rapids, the first person to get inoculated was just after noon.
Of course, medical staff and nursing home patients will get vaxxed first and then eventually, the whole nation will get it. And sadly, it's not a moment too soon. Today, America had 171,000 new cases of COVID with 1,389 new deaths. Nearly 308,000 Americans have died from the disease since the pandemic began.
It's hard to believe that it's been a year since somebody sunk their teeth into a diseased bat at a wet market in Wuhan, China, which was believed to have caused the pandemic. Yes, we Americans thought it would go away like H1N1, SARS and the rest. Boy, were we wrong.
Granted, it ain't over. Tragically, more Americans will get and even die from COVID before they get that shot in the arm. But hopefully by this time next year, America will be jolly again for the holidays.
And already, we know that this time next year, at least we won't have an inept president.
The Electoral College officially elected Joe Biden as the next President of the United States today. Sadly, the process didn't come without controversy as a trifle of protesters showed their disgust over his win in many spots. Today, a group of protesters stood in front of the Michigan Capitol, once again proving that they had ZERO evidence that Drumpf won.
Meanwhile in Dover, President-Elect Biden spoke about his win and talked about how Drumpf won't take it like a man and concede. He has ZERO evidence that the election was rigged. Yes, he did what he could with lawsuits, recounts and even filling the Supreme Court with rightists galore.
Pathetically, Drumpf won't concede and his army of supporters stand by him. On Saturday, Alex Jones told a crowd of his supporters that "Biden will be removed one way or another". Of course, Jones is banned from virtually all social media platforms because of his untrue conspiracy theories.
Just this evening, Drumpf's AG William Barr announced that he was leaving his post the day before Christmas. Yes, the switchover is 37 days away and Drumpf's cabinet won't hold since it was made out of pressed sawdust.
Tonight, Biden sounded more like a human being than Drumpf in his four years in office. I know, many of his Drumpftards all cry that he's winning the war against COVID because we now have the cure. However, he ignored science and the people. His lax handling of the virus has made us the laughingstock of the world since they've done a better job. Hell, in some countries, the government is giving their people money to stay home instead of work. Here in America, many of those who got the virus - and died from it - all got it from working. I know. We need to eat and we need stuff. But, that SHOULD have waited.
I just hope that one year from now, this will be all over. The Drumpftards will be silenced and we can move on. My only problem is that the right will have tricks up their sleeve. When Gov. Gretchen Whitmer runs again in 2022, I'm scared that the right will bitch about her closing restaurants and "not caring about workers". BULLSHIT. Let's remember that the last Repuke governor this state had POISONED Flint. The next one will be a billion times worse. Why? Because Drumpf proved to be worse than Dubya. His wars and 9/11 caused 7,000 deaths. Drumpf? 308,000 and growing.
When January 20, 2021 comes, the death toll should start to crumble.
