Omicron truly spreading rapidly down here. I only knew a few people or connections to people that had it for most of the year, but this week alone it's about a half dozen.

Everyone I know got Delta. No one has gotten omnicorns at this point. Unless they took it as a mild cold and continued with their life.

If you go back to the start of the pandemic before there was a vaccine, this is true. But if you run the numbers after the vaccine it’s a different story.
Now, people 65 and older have the highest vaccination rate, with nearly 90 percent of them fully vaccinated, and the share of deaths attributed to the virus in that age group has declined.
Covid now accounts for a larger share of deaths among white and young Americans.

For many younger Americans and white Americans, in fact, Covid is now responsible for a higher share of deaths from all causes than it was earlier in the pandemic.

For much of the pandemic, older Americans and people of color were more likely to die from the virus, the demographics of those dying from Covid have shifted too, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Note how they attribute lower vaccination rates amongst blacks to lack of access; there’s always a race angle to everything. Just about every damn drugstore and grocery store in my rural, 12 square mile town of 25k people offers the vaccine. Joe has repeatedly told us how vaccines are free and readily available so go get them. Blacks aren’t vaccinated for myriad reasons and lack of access is the most pathetic excuse for a reason.

It’s possible, it’s been packed down here in the Tampa Bay Area, traffic around and to and from the beaches has been horrible. The weather has been perfect down here the last couple of days.

It’s FL, the weather is perfect year round. And there’s no maybe, the Yankees show up in October and don’t leave till March. It’s the worst 6 months of being a Floridian.

You are the one trying to make the race angle. It said when the vaccine first came out, now it is much more accessible.

A) I didn’t write the article saying blacks lacked access

B) Why couldn’t blacks get it? Whites and blacks go to the same places to get it. Unless there are white only Publix, Wal-Mart’s or Wal-Greens I’m unaware of.
