Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Don't be an idiot, jackass. It's not like Trump was brewing the vaccine in his basement. The same vaccine that Democrats were warning folks about is the same vaccine that went in their arm. And yours too.

I'm gonna continue to point out the bullshit by democrats and you're marching lock-stip with 'em.

Maybe you are referring to a different article than the one you posted.
In the one you posted they simply say they don't trust trump. Quite prudent, if you ask me.

A message to my liberal friends: Please read with an open mind and hopefully we can come together over this one issue where Biden and Harris have done so much harm to the vaccine effort. You know I've been talking about this for a while.

Still whining about the Failed Trump Administration vaccine rollout Great Job keep it up

Or you can say they are number one with people exercising their rights for themselves as weather or not they want the vaccine.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

... this was inevitable. Pockets of unvaccinated people create new variants.

COVID-19 infections are starting to rise across the USA with the new Delta and Lamda variants striking even young, healthy people down hard. Not something you want to take an unnecessary risk on. The side effects could stay with you for the rest of your life.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

I can't stop laughing.

Biden’s Covid vaccine campaign is sputtering. A washed up rapper thinks he can help.



The '90s rap star was vaccine hesitant, too. But he changed his mind and remixed his classic tune in hopes of convincing others, too.



This is not the Juvenile of old, the one with the signature, oversized white tee and backwards cap whose platinum records made him a fixture of awkward prom dances across America.


For one, the bling is much more understated, the hat is forward, and the shirt fits. The bigger tell, however, is in the video he’s just produced, the one he’s jumped on Zoom to talk about. The beat gives you flashbacks to his 1999 hit “Back that Thang Up.” And the video opens up with an homage to the original — a cloud of smoke that fades away; Juvenile standing behind four women with knees bent ready to … well, how do we say this journalistically … back that ass up. But the words don’t reflect the cultural excesses of the late ’90s; instead, they are squarely drawn from the age of the Covid-19 pandemic.





“Girl you look good, won't you vax that thang up. You's a handsome young brother, won't you vax that thang up. Date in real life you need to vax that thang up. Feeling freaky all night you need to vax that thang up.”


Vax. That. Thang. Up.

Yes, the Cash Money Rapper has recast himself as the ambassador of the jab. He’s one of a growing number of musicians, influencers, and cultural icons getting involved in the Covid-19 fight as the Biden administration pushes to try and get the stubborn holdouts and skeptics to finally get their shots.
That includes people like teen singer/songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, who will be at the White House Wednesday to meet with the president and his Covid point man, Anthony Fauci. A White House official says she’ll be recording videos pushing the importance of vaccinations for young folks.


Juvenile may no longer have that same youthful appeal. And unlike others who are taking up the task, he wasn’t actually asked by the administration for help. Instead, last month BLK, a dating app for Black singles, reached out to him and his old friend and fellow Cash Money Millionaire Mannie Fresh and Mia X. They had an idea for a vaccine-PSA remix. The group was into it.


“I thought it was a great idea being that I'm vaccinated,” Juvenile said in an interview over Zoom last week. “And I just thought it was time for somebody to step out like me, someone from the hip hop field just step out there in the front and encourage people that they need to go out and get vaccinated, especially if you plan on dating.”


Months ago, Juvenile might not have made the recording. He counted himself among the vaccine hesitant. He took Covid seriously — to this day, he will don a mask, removing one from around his neck to start this interview — and even developed a socially-distant pandemic hobby. As society locked down, he learned to build furniture and weld light fixtures. Yes, the man who turned the phrase “slow motion for me” into a top hit learned how to weld light fixtures.


But he is “scared to death of needles.” He also had concerns about the speed at which the vaccine was created (the science was being worked on for years) and said that people around him shared the same fears.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

So I travelled on business today so far that I have to stay overnight in a motel.

I was surprised upon entering the front door, the first thing I saw, was a vending machine selling COVID masks for $2.00 each.

Mask wearing is still required everywhere in Atlantic Canada when entering any public space even if, like myself, you are double vaccinated. Atlantic Canada enjoys over 75% 1st vaccination and 49% second vaccination.

The COVID-19 Delta variant is now confirmed to be present in Atlantic Canada.

Nobody complains about wearing a mask, it is just the way it is. No personal freedoms are being trampled on.

Sometimes when working on copiers wearing a mask is inconvenient. I show those around me my printed, credit card size COVID Immunization Report and everybody seems OK with that.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

(CNN)Los Angeles County is seeing a surge in new Covid-19 coronavirus cases, topping 1,000 for the fifth straight day Wednesday, and though hospitalizations remain low, each infected patient admitted to a county hospital has not had all their vaccine shots, officials said.

"To date, we have not had a patient admitted to a [Department of Health Services] hospital who has been fully vaccinated, with either the J&J, Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Every single patient that we've admitted for Covid is not yet fully vaccinated," county health services director Dr. Christina Ghaly told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

The Department of Health Services runs four hospitals, including those affiliated with the University of California-Los Angeles and the University of Southern California, along with 19 health care centers throughout the region.

L.A. County will reinstate mask mandate as Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations rise


Los Angeles County will reinstate its mask mandate regardless of vaccination status starting 11:59 p.m. Saturday night amid a rise in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations.

The new health officer order will require masking indoors regardless of vaccination status, Los Angeles County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said in a news conference Thursday.

The daily test positivity rate in Los Angeles County has risen to 3.75%, an increase from 1.2% on June 15.

The county has seen more than 1,000 new coronavirus cases each day for the past seven days, an alarming new rise as the Delta variant spreads, Davis said.

“We’re at a substantial level of community transmission and we can’t wait for this to go higher,” Davis said Thursday, announcing a new mask mandate. “Once we’re at a higher level, that will be too late.”

He explained that the county was at a low level of transmission when it reopened last month.
“We’re in a different situation,” Davis emphasized. “This is not the same situation as it was June 15.”

Los Angeles County reported 1,537 new cases on Thursday, an 83% increase over the last week.

“Anything is on the table if things continue to get worse,” Davis said in response to a question about whether the county would consider more restrictions.

The new health officer order, which requires the use of masks indoors regardless of vaccination status, will add that extra layer of protection where the risk is higher, he said.
The county is urging all residents to get vaccinated and has launched mobile clinics for easier access.

Los Angeles County has administered more than 10.7 million doses of the vaccine and over five million residents are fully vaccinated, according to Davis.

Do they ask to see your card, or do you just flash it like a "badge of honor" to anyone that comes near you?

The only place I have been asked for vaccine information is at the old folks homes, and even then, it's not a person asking.....they have an electronic sign-in kiosk, and one of the options is "I choose not to disclose".
Even the people at those places know that your health information should be private!
I know tons of people who have received the vaccine, but are against "having to prove it". They don't walk around with their cards shoving it in people's faces saying, "I'm vaccinated! Look at how great I am". LOL.
