10. I am so angry at the CDC, I have no words to express my rage.

May 2021

Yesterday, 630 Americans died from Covid. I guess that is OK with the CDC. The numbers of cases and deaths may have been going down, but the willful misinterpretation of their "surprise" unmasking ruling will mean that those numbers will start to go up again.

All those jerks that we "essential" workers have been dealing with for the past 14 months? If we politely ask them to put on masks, they will claim that the CDC now says they don't have to, assuming they don't just assault us.

I am 2 weeks past my second shot, but 97% is not 100% and, if you are dealing, indoors, with hundreds of people on a daily basis, 40% of whom have not and may never get the vaccination, well, your odds are not so great.

I am so mad at the CDC. How can they be such fools? How dare they put our lives at increased risk again?
