JUST A NOTE to say, as of today...

868K Americans have died from Covid 19.


That's like the population of a large city... or even perhaps a state.. all because some refused to wear a mask or get vaccinated..

And we gotta count there’s at least five or six grieving people for each death. And God knows how many orphans

not only making it worse, they're not even aware they're making it worse.

My sympathy left the train station when the vaccine was invented. Take the shot or fall in line with the rest of the dead.

That would be the population of some of our states. Can you imagine a whole state of people wiped out? And then I remember to those at the beginning that argued no more than a flu. That always pop in my mind. Then stats on the death of flu 2020 was miniscule cause we wore masks and distanced, showing the effectiveness of precaution.
