    I'm Tired of Whiners

    in The Beer Bar

    Posted

    Every morning when I get up around 4 am I take my coffee out on the lanai and spend and hour or so reading my news feeds on my phone.  For some reason I get a lot of stories from Australia even though I am in Florida.  I'm a bit tired of all the countries that whine about lockdowns and increased death counts from Covid and then the kicker, as they have less than 1000 deaths total for the country since the beginning of the virus.  It's probably more jealousy than anything but with such a poor job done in the US with the virus and death totals around 635,000 here I get tired of the alarms raised when a country gets 20 new Covid cases.  I understand they have obviously done something very right about battling the virus that the US just couldn't handle due mostly to the selfishness of the US citizens to do what is best for the country and their family and neighbors.  I live in a very small county by Florida standards and we had over 1000 new cases last week and Florida had over 1700 deaths last week alone, thanks mostly to Gov DeathSentance.  I have stayed home, cancelled a vacation that was to start next week and mostly lead a secluded life for 18 months even as Florida has been wide open for business since late last year.  No one is forcing this lifestyle on me and it's all my own doing to safeguard my health and that of others.  I got my second shot in early February and plan on getting the booster when it becomes available.  So to those countries that have done STELLER work keeping the virus at bay, you really don't realize how lucky you are and everything you have suffered is worth it and far better than the alternative.  Please, get the shot and wear a mask to protect yourself AND others until we get a better handle on this menace.

    He was found unconscious on his apartment floor a number of weeks ago.  Upon admittance to hospital he tested positive for Covid and placed on a ventilator.  They attempted to remove him a number of times but were unsuccessful.  

    TIPS..My 1st CV Trip

    The west coast is certainly safer than the Palm Beach to Miami corridor however not sure this was the time for a trip but whatever floats  your boat.  One thing I notice as I watch the numbers for Tampa to Naples is the death rate in ration to positive cases is extremely high for sarasota and charlotte counties, over 10 percent.  Possibly because of the average age of our residents.  I have no plans to do much of anything but stay at home, its safer that way.
