Most of us enjoyed a normal Fourth of July holiday where the neighbor's goddamn fireworks kept us up all night and traumatized our pets. America's back, baby! However, the COVID-19 pandemic isn't finished just yet. The delta variant is making a final, desperate lunge for our throats.
USA Today dropped a new analysis of Johns Hopkins University data that is sobering but not surprising: COVID-19 infection rates are rising in almost half of all US states. They've more than doubled in Alaska, Arkansas, Kansas, and South Carolina. Last week, the delta variant crossed the South Dakota border, and Governor Kristi Noem, who'd just sent National Guard troops to the US-Mexico border, is whining about fireworks on Twitter.
For God's sake, lady, the temperature in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, was over 100 degrees on Saturday, and your state is also experiencing a drought. Can no one in your immediate circle science? Also, the fireworks display pictured from Trump's America" took place in 2015, which was still Barack Obama's America or as we used to call it America."
We might never fully understand why COVID-19 cases are surging. All we have to work with is the obvious fact that the delta variant runs wild in states where coronavirus vaccination rates are low. For example, Missouri has the highest number of new COVID-19 cases per capita over the past two weeks, and only 39.4 percent of its residents are fully vaccinated. COVID-19 related hospitalizations in an especially hard-hit section of Missouri spiked by almost 30 percent over the Fourth of July weekend. This is obviously because Vice President Kamala Harris didn't visit the border quickly enough.

(770 posts)They have no real goals or vision of the future. Hell, they don't even know what it is exactly that's making them angry. They're just angry. And if someone knowledgeable tells them to breathe...well, screw that! No one is the boss of them, and they'll hold their collective and individual breath until they pass out or die.
