Yeah, I don't think this CoVid bug is behind us yet...

 People mixed it up at Christmastime.  They flew, incubated, and passed the virus, I believe, and Americans now all have varying degrees of immunization -- the young and the old -- for many respiratory-illness "bugs" still out there...

Here in the Twin Cities, the kids are sick.  The littlest ones too.  Fevers, lethargy ... if the parents coming into the local drugstore are to be believed.  We've passed illnesses at work -- co-workers with little money are "encouraged" to come in sick, because if you have five "incidents" -- which includes legitimate call-ins when you should stay home and not bring your illness into the workplace -- during the year, you are "disciplined".

It's kinda race to the bottom like that.  Yes, you need workers;  no, it doesn't pay off in the long-run if you ... the boss plays the martyr, comes into work coughing and encouraging others to be like her... (she has sick days, and Walgreens stock ;-)

Here in the East Metro, we have immigrants.  And they're sick too.  Asian -- Chinese, Hmong; non-English Spanish-speaking (from an array of Central American countries, judging by the photo ids provided to re-load their credit/debit cards with cash...); and African immigrants with that High British accent...   and their children.

They won't be throwing cash at the illnesses this time, or shut anything down.  Clearly that was all a pre-election ploy, now people are told to move on, head to the hospitals, stay home and test and treat... it's all good.

Except the people of America have fevers, racing heartbeats, and are collapsing before our eyes, even the healthy ones.

I am so glad they cancelled the "game" last night, after a man collapsed and is now apparently close to death.  Something's going on here... Fauci's gone, Biden's celebrating his W's, and the media has no incentive to keep on asking questions about how this virus is mutating internationally, and what America's penchant for keeping our doors open  to all comers in welcome is really costing us out here...

Added:  Thank God for Pedialyte.  It's not just for babies; it's for people who just don't handle getting sick well, because trust me:  as this virus passes through each of us, it really does affect healthy bodies whose immune systems are ... "fighting back" the hardest.

They never ever ever should have created this lab-monster virus without knowing what they were bringing into the world.  Sadly, like with AIDS, until it starts taking more famous, and more vulnerable, lives... the children of the rich and famous, or the rich and famous themselves, I doubt there is any incentive really to ... shut it down!  The vaccine and lockdown theater won't be repeated, and America simply refuses to infest in its nursing corps and spend money on institutional care, like hospitals and prisons, until it is too late...

The virus is still alive, and mutating.  Not everybody is going to get out of this latest variant alive either, I don't think... #MayTheOddsBeInYourFavor

ADDED:  Maybe it will be the athlete-entertainers and their industry, who lead us.  Refusing to keep playing games until as a nation, we start working together to get our priorities straight... #Life

The NFL announced more than an hour after the injury that players would not return to the field Monday night. A few hours later, Jeff Miller, an NFL executive vice president, told reporters on a conference call that the league had no plans at present to resume the game, adding that Hamlin’s health is the NFL’s main focus.

An ambulance was on the field four minutes after Hamlin collapsed, with many players in tears, including Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White. The quarterbacks — Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow — embraced....

“I’ve never seen anything like it since I was playing,” NFL executive Troy Vincent, a six-time Pro Bowl cornerback during his career, said on the conference call early Tuesday. “Immediately, my player hat went on, like, how do you resume playing after seeing a traumatic event in front of you?”

Hamlin’s uniform was cut off and he appeared to be getting CPR from medical personnel. ESPN reported on its telecast that Hamlin also was given oxygen.
