Last Wednesday started going downhill, felt like a cold or flu. My head felt like a balloon. By Friday, I knew I was not going to shoot a match Saturday or travel to Eastern Washington Sunday. Whatever I had, was kicking me to the curb. Yesterday, my daughter (a RN) who had visited us last us week performed a Rapid Antigen test on herself with positive results. She later went and had a PCR test performed. Results back today, positive for COVID. Yesterday my wife I tested ourselves with the Rapid test and both of us came back positive. I'm waiting for the PCR to return. In any case, this appears to be lasting a good two weeks and we remain home isolating from the public. I'm very tired and lethargic.

I had my FM radio on in the truck yesterday while taking a lunch break. Local news was frantically reporting a “huge” uptick of cases in VA. Next commercial break was a public service announcement pushing people to get vaccinated and boostered.

Amen!

The democRATs absolutely OWN the plandemic debacle. We can only hope that we can watchdog the voting process in both the midterm and upcoming presidential election so they don’t steal again.

Rapid NAAT Tested for: SARS-CoV-2: Result: Negative.

Good! Now I can travel to West Point tomorrow for my nephew's graduation.

Getting ready to get on a plane heading into New York which is in “high” covid territory but first a quick post:

Covid cases are increasing across the US. The New York Times ran a story yesterday headlined, “Biden’s Health Officials Warn Of A Substantial Increase In Coronavirus Cases.” (Why do they put always Biden’s name in the headline? He probably doesn’t even know what day it is.)

Anyway, the CDC reported that a third of the US is now in “high” covid territory, and encouraged local officials to re-order indoor mask mandates. No thanks. After reporting THAT unpleasant fact, the Times noted “The warnings from Dr. Walensky and other federal health officials seemed somewhat at odds with [Joe] Biden’s own stance…Mr. Biden no longer wears a mask in most settings.”

How about that.

Take a look at the Times’ covid maps. Is it just me, or do the higher covid areas seem to basically track with higher vaccination rate areas? Check out these two charts from the Times’ interactive covid tracker:

Covid:

Vaccinations:

(Well, you'll have to click the link below to see the maps. Too large to post here.)

Also, Chicago public health data shows covid infections in vaccinated 5-11 year-old kids is significantly higher than infections in unvaccinated kids.

The fake pandemic is soooo 2021.

I don't believe the data shown on any "COVID-tracking maps".

When I go out, the people I see wearing masks make up less than 5 percent; one in twenty- yeah, that seems about right. For the sane people among us, this crap is a thing of the past. For some people, it's now part of their world.

When I see a person wearing a mask these days, I have an urge to ask them if they plan to ever take it off, but I don't do so, of course. It's their business if they want to walk around looking like a scared soul who swallowed the propaganda whole.

^^^ Yep, same here in MO. No one wears a mask anymore. Few people want a "booster". They are throwing them away by the thousands.
But I'm hearing things are different in NY. Paranoid. Delusional... swallowed the propaganda whole.

The only ones wearing a mask here in Central Tx are the really really old and the Cali imports….even the usual liberal college kids don’t wear them.

For the old, I get it-just like Frankenstein’s monster- they just want to live.

But the others, well, I t’s natures way to let you know to steer clear of them.

We were sitting in the Salt Lake City airport 2 days ago for about an hour. I'd say the mask wearers were about 1 in 50 people. For some reason, the grocery stores, Sam's, Costco run about 2-3 in 10. 5 years from now, some will still be masked up and ready for the 10th booster shot.

Given the data we currently have available, it should be considered child abuse or child endangerment to inject this snake oil into children. Much of this country has lost its damn mind.

Yup, I'm seeing the same thing down here. Only a very few people wearing masks now. Went to a gun show down in Springfield over the weekend and I bet I didn't see more than 10-15 masks...and that's a big show.

Agreed. I do find it sticks in my craw when I see small children masked up around town.

Looks like they are going to make us all mask back up at work now, the county my employer is at here in PA (Montgomery Co) just hit "High" on the CDC's newer "Low/Medium/High" case system.

FFS, is this SHIT ever going to end?

It'll end if we all tell the government to get the fuck out of our homes and businesses with this shit.
I won't spend a dime with any company that enforces this stupid shit and I let them know how much they are losing to their competition.

We're down to maybe 3-5% of the people I see out in public. There's one guy at work who never stopped wearing one, out of close to twenty of us.

Washington state was one of the very last to drop the mandates... about a month and a half ago. If we suddenly go back to mandatory masking, I'll inform my employer that my final day is just going to go ahead and be the day before it goes into effect since I'm leaving anyway. I'm not doing this fucking dance any more. We've had half the company out with the Covid the last few weeks, and while it may actually be a good idea to wear a mask at work, I'm so fed up with the whole thing that I've made the conscious decision to say "fuck it, let's spin the wheel."

I've had it at least two times that I know of, and I think likely a third time this spring where my only symptom was a seriously messed up sense of smell for about two months. If it was going to kill me, I think it already missed it's best shot at it, which was in late January 2020 while I was drunk 24/7, and in liver failure on top of type 2 diabetes, being four hundred pounds, and asthmatic with no known treatments for the virus at the time. Really. That's when it should have killed me. I was one big, fat, walking risk factor. I think I'm good and if not, fuck it, it's been a fun ride.
