Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
When President Biden took office on January 20 of this year the total deaths in the US were 396,837. At that time the first vaccines had been available for just over 1 month. That count is now 673,005. That is an increase of 273,068 in under 8 months during which the vaccines were available.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
President Joe Biden has announced sweeping federal Covid measures that require workers at large companies to be vaccinated or face weekly testing.
The new measures - which also include a vaccine mandate for millions of federal workers - come as the president is under fire to combat a Covid surge.
Covid has killed 650,000 Americans and hospitals nationwide are at capacity.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
... COVID-19 mutated to COVID-19D, in large part because unvaccinated citizens created this mutation. The spike in deaths is amongst the unvaccinated. Many killed by their political beliefs.
While you seems keen to blame President Biden for anything you can think of, in actuality it is the ex President who created these false beliefs not based upon medical science that has killed so many citizens.Comment

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Today crossing the Provincial border home to Nova Scotia from New Brunswick on a business trip, I was asked to show proof of vaccination before I was allowed to proceed.
I quickly produced my vaccine card and went on my way.Comment

I ask that you stop spreading falsehoods and misinformation. The Taliban are beating women with whips and torturing those that fall out of line with their extreme Islamic teachings. The leadership is made up of former Gitmo prisoners that were known terrorists.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
President Biden is done pussy-footing around on COVID-19 vaccination. And he's betting most Americans are too.
The pugnacious speech Biden delivered late Thursday afternoon marked an abrupt change of tone. It could be a political turning point.
Biden, in the past, has favored a patient nudging of people toward vaccination. That's gone now. In its place is a willingness to hammer vaccine skeptics for their irresponsibility.
The president sounded less like a consensus-craving politician and more like a father at the end of his tether.
"What more is there to wait for? What more do you need to see? We've made vaccinations free, safe and convenient," he said.
Moments later, he added: "We've been patient but our patience is wearing thin - and your refusal has cost all of us."
Later in the speech, he announced that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) would double fines for air travelers who refuse to mask up.
"If you break the rules, be prepared to pay. And by the way - show some respect!" Biden jabbed, his voice rising. The sight of irate passengers assailing flight crews was, he said "wrong. It's ugly."
Politically speaking, there are plenty of partisan voters on the right who will always be beyond Biden's reach. But his words will resonate with many millions of people who are bone-tired of a pandemic that is being needlessly prolonged by vaccine hesitancy, anti-mask hyperbole and junk science.
The change in tone was more than matched by significant shifts in policy too.Comment
