My nephew's wife, in the Las Vegas area.

They're both Facebook conspiracy-following idiots! I heard that nephew, at a Christmas family reunion, talking about "chemtrails" that poison people years ago!

Even my evangelical-nut sister, that nephew's mother, thinks they're crazy! She was vaccinated months ago, as soon as it was available for her age group.

I bite my tongue about it, but I feel like telling her, "That's what happens when you send one of your kids to a Bible school instead of a regular high school!" (All of her other children, who aren't conspiracy kooks, went to regular schools with better educations in science.)

Why aren't infection rates reported as "daily new cases per 100K unvaccinated"? royable Jul 2021 #12

If florida's new cases yesterday was 100 per 100k, it'd mean the wave is declining. Pobeka Jul 2021 #14

Sorry I misspoke (mistyped). When I said "infection rate" I meant "daily new cases per 100K." royable Jul 2021 #16

Aah, yes. I've wondered about that too. Pobeka Jul 2021 #25
