Everybody by now has heard plenty on the world-wide spread of the corona virus. It seems to be everywhere. Washington state had a death attributed to it in recents news. So what is happening in your neck of the woods?
Any local or national news concerning this is welcome. I'm not sure as to what to make of it myself. Maybe by combining any information here as some kind of information port. A greater understand of what is going on can be ascertained.

Nice to see Mike Penice get the vaccine jab.

I guess the Trump Administration put him on the line as just about every other person in the White House is a non-mask-wearing Covid denier who had already tested positive anyway.

MAGA Trump 2020 'I just learned that people died from the flu. I didnt know that before. The doctors can't believe how much I know."

My favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus spends months downplaying the severity of a plague and then elbows his way to the front of the vaccine line,,.
My favorite verse from this story is from one of the disciples who says, "Verily, Verily I say unto you, Lepers, Heathens, Libtard Socialists to the back with the Blacks and the Jews,,!!

That's in Two Corinthians, if memory serves me correctly,,.

Ana Navarro sorts out Sen. Rubio's criticism of Dr. Fauci,,!!

With over 260000 new cases and 4100 deaths yesterday it is heartening that Donald J Trump is waving bye bye with record COVID-19 numbers. Fancy that, the highest daily case and death tally of any day since the pandemic began. He just gets better with time.

Thanks to all of those deplorable MAGA-hatted free thinkers for supporting Mr Trump in his efforts to fill the swamp with the dead and dying Americans.

Dabadabadoo, where are you?

Yes, I'll be taking the vaccine.

Let's attribute the doctor's death to being a direct result of the vaccine. As tragic as that is, all medications/vaccines/treatments can lead to death in SOMEBODY.

But after millions of doses of the COVID-19 vaccinations in trials and therapeutic use, the death rate is still close to zero in comparison to the death rate from COVID-19.

A few thousand Americans are dying each day currently. Most would have lived if the vaccine had been available to them before they contracted the disease.

I think that the sceptics should delay taking the vaccine and continue with their maskless Trump rallies.

Right now in California there doesn't appear to be any plan for notifying the public when and where they should go to get the shot. They can't even decide if people will receive one or two shots of the vaccines that require two shots to be fully effective. I am 76 and should be getting the vaccination fairly early, but I have my doubts if I will receive any notification when and where that might happen. I don't even get notified when the yearly flu shot is available from my medical provider. This year I discovered that it was available at a location from a friend who had visited the hospital where they had already been delivering flu shots for two months. To make things more complicated, they wanted people to arrive in their cars and stay in their car while they get the shot, instead of walking in like in years past. I have no idea what people were supposed to do if they didn't own a car. I showed up on my motorcycle and just pushed it along the conga line while trying not to get run over by the cars around me. I doubt that receiving the COVID-19 vaccination is going to be any easier. Right now the only people who seem to be getting the vaccination are people who work in, or come in contact with, hospitals such as "first responders".

And then there is this choice letter to the editor of the local paper:

I just picked up a copy of Jonathan Cahn's newest book "The Harbinger II" and read the chapter on The Plague immediately.
It is both fascinating and terrifying. He wrote it in 2020, and this is what he says: "No generation has so turned away from God or so massively overturned His ways as this one. The global pandemic is a judgment of our civilization, of nations. It is an ancient law that evil must be answered in kind and the taking of human life by the taking of human life.
The gruesome truth is that this generation has killed far more children by abortion than any other in human history … in America alone, over 60 million, and over 1 billion worldwide … the unborn torn apart, burned alive with chemicals. And God weeps with each life lost. Abortion was legalized across our nation in 1973, but it began in 1970. That means that most of those responsible for our abortion laws, and those who stood by and allowed it to happen are senior citizens. It is one of the unique properties of COVID-19 that though the young may contract and carry the virus, its destructive power is overwhelmingly focused on the old. In 2019, New York passed a law to legalize late term abortion. In 2020, New York became the state in which more of its people were killed by the virus than in most nations … "Whether you believe Cahn or not, his book is definitely food for thought.

A New Jersey Democratic Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a 75-year-old cancer survivor said she tested positive for COVID-19 after sheltering in place with lawmakers during the riot at the Capitol last Wednesday.

"Following the events of Wednesday, including sheltering with several colleagues who refused to wear masks, I decided to take a Covid test," Watson Coleman tweeted. "I have tested positive."
"While I am experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms, I remain in good spirits and will continue to work on behalf of my constituents," Watson Coleman said in a statement issued by her office, adding that she was isolating at home.

No Bryan not for me, thanks for asking tho. Last vaccine I had was in 1972, a DTP shot that gave me an autoimmune disease similar to Raynaud's that's stayed with me right up until last year. My doctor agreed long ago I should avoid all of them in future, tho he asked me to keep that advice confidential. Even without the 50 years of inflammation and pain every winter, at 74 years of age I wouldn't be wanting to risk having neurotoxic aluminium or mercury compounds injected into my bloodstream. My best friend now has Alzheimers disease and I wouldn't wish it on anyone but I respect the decisions of those who decide to get the covid and other shots and I wish them well.

I knew a guy who was once struck by lightning. He lived to tell the tale. He did not get a DTP vaccine in 1972.

He now has arthritis (crikey that's a three syllable condition starting with 'A', just like Alzheimers). Maybe he caught it from Facebook by clicking on one of those antivaxxer group pages.
