I've got a great song for the looneys!

"We don't need no vaccination
We don’t need no 5G control
No dark science in the US
Fauci, leave them kids alone
Hey! Deep State! Leave us kids alone!
All in all it's just another kick in the balls.
All in all you're just another prick in the mall."

Sorry, Pink Floyd... :hehe:

We're 71% vaccinated now, my age group is 88%. It's the 20 and 30 somethings that skew the results.

Fucking kids.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

The county has failed to report data for a week. I assume they are included in the state level numbers. The 800 is low for a Tuesday. The cases are going down.

Gift item for your loved ones Christmas stocking? Rapid covid tests may soon be available:
More tests, soon
The F.D.A. announced Monday that it would allow the sale of an antigen test known as Flowflex. The test has been available in Europe but not here, even though the company that makes it — Acon Laboratories — is based in San Diego.

The decision suggests that the F.D.A. has become willing to approve other rapid tests too, Alex Tabarrok, an economist at George Mason University and an advocate of expanded testing, told me. Separately, the Biden administration plans to announce an expansion of rapid testing today, a White House official told me last night. It will be a $1 billion government purchase of tests, meant to accelerate their production, on top of other money the administration has already dedicated to rapid tests.

Although they can be useful, one has to weigh up the consequences of false positives, and (especially) false negatives...

Cases are way down here from the max, following a pretty standard curve. I pronounce Delta a dead duck.

You heard it here first.
