Almost all of these new patients, over 100,000 new patients a day now in the USA, are unvaccinated. Chuck Todd on Meet the Press posted statistics that the 40 or so counties with the most covid infections voted for Trump by a 40% margin. The surge is concentrated in the southeast area of the country. Some Republicans seem to have decided that the best way to beat Biden and re-elect Trump is to stay unvaccinated and not wear masks. That way the covid crisis will grow, and Biden as the president gets the blame as his approval rating goes down. Biden is entirely blameless of course; this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated; the second-worst surge of the crisis.

Such Republicans seem to have decided that to go unvaccinated and unmasked and to protest mandates and masks is good political strategy. The pandemic gets worse then, and so Biden is blamed for what THEY themselves did. Many Americans can't discern the difference, because Americans of the USA are so willfully ignorant, as George Carlin called them. But this little bit of politicking may cost the deniers their lives. It is already costing the lives of many of their comrades. I guess they feel it's worth it. Nothing would be finer than to get their narcissist bully conman hero back in office. Maybe they just think if Trump is president, their taxes will go down again, and fewer immigrants will cross the border. Well, maybe there's no taxes in heaven, and God can paint the streets with gold anyway. It seems like the approach of the Muslim suicide bomber to me. Maybe they think they are martyrs for the cause.

Well, the Democrats spent a year telling minorities that evil whitey was trying  to kill them all and warning them against vaccination. It's mainly minorities who are getting sick now days. I think I've had three variations of COVID now. The first one sucked big time. The second one wasn't nearly as bad as the original. The third one was a piece of cake. I guess there's something to be said about getting sick and developing natural immunity. Here's your problem, the Democrats overly  politicized COVID, let a bunch of sick illegals enter the country  and now they're seeing the results of their own stupidity. Guess what, COVID is here to stay. Welcome to the 4T.

No, the message that the government can't be trusted with their health came to the Black community through direct experience.  How did the message that vaccines are bad come to the GOP faithful?  And why would you go through COVID at all, if the alternative was two jabs and a few weeks?  At the moment, GOPpers are the primary source of raging infection in places like Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arizona, Missouri, and South Dakota.

Now to the mythical invasion of COVID from <insert the nation or region of choice>.  Yes, the virus did arrive from elsewhere: the UK (both Alpha and Delta).  The messengers were not illegals, but business travelers -- first time under Trump certainly and the second time under Trump most likely.  Perhaps we should seal the borders and let no one in?  Oh yeah, Trump was going to do that and didn't.  Who did do it: the Aussies and Kiwis.
