1. Horrible

An article in our local newspaper reported some of this, but the detail is valuable.

Thanks for posting.

2. Here's a clean link that doesn't tell the LA Times that we arrived at their paper via Facebook :)

For those who don't want to support FB in any way.

4. Thanks

Hmm, that link seems paywalled, at least for me. I tried editing my original to use it (hate FB) but can't get through. Thanks, though, zuck Fuckerberg.

6. Interesting ...

Do you have a LATimes subscription?

If so, the original link may be allowing others to access it via your subscription.

Otherwise, LATimes is allowing people to view it for free/no paywall as long as the original link was encountered on FB.

If so, I didn't know that was happening ... and I find it disturbing.

3. Thank you for the frank and terrifying information

It does no good to sugarcoat the realities of the risks. This is a horrible way to die.

5. Probably about as painful as possible

And in a lot of cases I hear the pain is compounded by the fact it was, essentially, a choice

7. it must be maddening -- all they had to do was wear a mask and vaccinate

The cure is literally freely available to anyone but the foolish are not taking it! We need mandates NOW!

8. Everyone should read this - unfortunately the ones

who need it most are the ones who will not.
