2. America is an obese nation by nature.

No wonder Covid is taking it's toll here.

I know people who were obese who put on 20# during Covid. Not helping themselves.

All the shots and masks are just a temporary measure if you don't take care of yourself.

4. This: "Given how quickly this storm may pass, it seems wise to hunker down a bit."

5. I ventured out yesterday to two stores, Home Depot and Walmart.

My guess is less than 10% masked among the customers. Maybe 50% masked among the employees.

The local hospital is full with Covid patients, more than 80% unvaxxed. Other hospitals in the region are also full, so there is no room for overflow. Covid deaths are up. Way up.

Folks just don't seem to care.
