In reply to the discussion: Unvaccinated couple who both got COVID-19 die within hours of each other, leaving 7 children [View all]Aussie105
(5,395 posts)39. Well, that is damn inconvenient!
You plan your life as a family, plan the family trip, decide COVID isn't something that is relevant to you nor factors into your plans, and now this?
Yes, I'm cynical.
My defense mechanism.
Alternatives are less appealing.
Hopefully not too many of the 7 kids die because their parents made bad choices.
Meanwhile, here in Australia . . .
Some state leaders have given up on daily pandemic media briefings because the news is consistently bad, and they can no longer pretend they are in control of the pandemic.
But people are lining up in their thousands to get vaccinated. There is that. No political or media push against vaccinations here.
