Bee-otched For: COVID? What's that?!?
--
Normally this time of year, millions of people are going out for that time-honored tradition known as Spring Break.
For many, it means going down to Florida and getting a tan and partying with millions of strangers. But, it also means getting the 'rona.
When Pfizer put their vaccine on the market, states jumped the gun. They opened up with no mask required. The end result: a spike in COVID-19 cases.
I know someone who works at a hotel for dogs and there's no room left at the inn. They're booked solid. Many of these idiots are going down to Florida, Texas and other states with relaxed rules. Here in Grand Rapids, when the pandemic began, you could see tumbleweeds rolling down 28th Street. Today, that same road is loaded with vehicles. And many of those people are probably out despite their trip not being totally necessary.
Just today alone in Michigan, 6,306 new cases of COVID were reported. In America, it was nearly 52,000. Eight states now have over a million COVID cases. Since the pandemic began, nearly one out of ten Americans have been diagnosed with COVID. To make matters worse, it's one out of 61 people worldwide.
Here in America, we politicize COVID because we allow the Fox "News"es of the world to sensationalize the news and tell us lies. Many believe in the lies and because of this, we're the laughingstock of the world. Because of this, we have too many fucking people who all think that COVID is a hoax while people die because they don't do their part. They don't mask up, they don't wash their hands, they don't socially distance and so on.
Folks, I don't want to hear "oh, the vaccines don't work because of the jump in cases!" No. The reason for the increase is because of the fact that it ain't over, but we pretend it is. We still need to wear a mask, we still need to stay six feet away from others and we still need to wash our hands. Most-importantly, we need to get our shot when the time is right, and I'm happy to say that my first shot will be tomorrow.
People, knock it off with unproven conspiracy theories and lies. America - and the world - needs to heal from this disease. I want to live a real life again and I want to do it safely. COVID is real, and it will kill. If you don't need to go anywhere, don't go anywhere. Just sit back and watch TV. Yes, we've all gained weight since the pandemic began, but it will end if we all wake up and take things seriously.
If we all do what's right, 2022 will kick ass.... HARD.
