the government:
Stay home and don’t go anywhere or see anyone or have any fun
also the government:
Lol go back to work in person when you have COVID
Anyone who still isn’t vaccinated at this point (and doesn’t have a seriously legitimate exemption documented by a reputable medical professional) should be shamed into oblivion for their idiocy, “religious” exemptions be damned.
Omicron is no joke. The reason we are still at this point is because the virus is mutating in the unvaccinated.
Just got an email from the UW about how they’re postponing “non-urgent surgeries and procedures due to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases.”
It’s sad that there’s a very real possibility that it’s only a matter of time before they’re deciding which very urgent surgeries and procedures they’re going to postpone for the same reason.
Aaron and I are incredibly fortunate and privileged that we are two very healthy people in our late thirties, early forties, with good health insurance.
But bloody fuckin’ hell.
We, unfortunately, do not live in a world of dictionary-definition ignorant vs. science-educated.
It’s so much worse than that.
And believe me, I am well aware of the crazy woo idiots on the left who are vaccine skeptical and think shit like essential oils and organic enemas will cure them.
Our tolerance of the willfully stupid will be this country’s undoing.
