A person on my volleyball team was talking about a friend of hers with cancer currently doing chemo. Earlier in the week this person started having issues. Went to a ER here in the Twin Cities, and was told to go home as they had no beds available due to the large amount of COVID patients. 27 hours later the hospital called letting them know they could accommodate them as space had freed up.josevolution said:https://twitter.com/brontyman/status/1436470303136235521?s=21

Call it nuance or context or whatever you'd like, but as you've already ignored, there are fundamental differences between these two scenarios, and luckily for us all, people in charge recognize that where you don't.RoleModelsinBlood31 said:
Hahahaha. Nice trry. What a conundrum you dems find yourselves in as you’re slaves to govt when it suits you and against the hand that feeds you when you’re not. Glorious hypocrisyHughFreakingDillon said:
ABORTION ISN'T CONTAGIOUS.RoleModelsinBlood31 said:Harris on abortion, 9/9/21:When people are able to design their lives in a way that they can determine their own futures, we are a stronger democracy and we are a stronger nation. When people are able to make choices without government interference for themselves — in terms of their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their family, in consultation with whomever they may choose — we are a stronger society.”
Abortion: our bodies, our choice! Government should never dictate what we do to our bodies or put in them!
covid: government needs to mandate vaccines! We need govt to force everyone to do what they want them to do!
perplexing indeed.
if getting a freaking photo ID in order to vote is racist and disenfranchising to minorities (they themselves poll that it’s not), I wonder what we call it when you force them to get vaxxed? 🤔. You know who is the largest unvaxxed group in the US is? it’s African Americans. Huh. Welp.
WELP
Society incurs zero additional risk by permitting abortions. Society incurs massive additional risk by allowing unvaccinated people to continue to freely expose others to it.
Governments are supposed to help manage the hardships they (usually correctly) assume society will mishandle.

lastexitlondon said:As i stood at the school gates. There were about 100 parents in a queue because they refuse to open gates so we cqn spread out in play ground. So i said to the woman next to me. This is silly especially in pandemic . And i shit you not. She turned and said "i dont believe in covid. I do believe in the flu"
At that point i turned and stood the other way and just wished i didn't have school aged kids. Like we still have the worst rates in europe . This is what we are up against.
"I don't believe in covid"🤯mind fuckin blownIn the endless coverage here of people who refuse to believe in covid/masks/vaccines, there was a memorable quote from a woman who noted that people were not dying in their yards and/or lying dead in the streets, so clearly there isn't a pandemic.That's when I realized that since what's happening doesn't look like a scene from "The Stand"' or "I Am Legend," people don't believe there's a problem. Too many of us think movies = real life, because we are an unserious nation. :-(All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.0 -
I want to say this is unbelievable. but I know its not....
Student heckled for saying grandmother died of COVID-19 because someone didn't wear mask
Scott BrodenMurfreesboro Daily News Journal- Central Magnet junior Grady Knox told school board 'We're killing people' by not wearing masks
- Grady and other speaking students impress board vice chairwoman
- CNN interviewed Central Magnet students who spoke in support of mask requirements in school
- The heckling of the Grady Knox speech went viral and displayed by Newsweek to national audience
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — "...I’m worried about my family. If I get COVID, I’m going to bring it to my family, and I talk to my grandparents a lot. They are higher risk than me, so I don’t want to give them COVID.
"This time last year, my grandmother, who was a former teacher at the Rutherford County school system, died of COVID because someone wasn’t wearing a mask."
Tennessee High schooler Grady Knox's passionate plea for the health of himself and others was mocked earlier this week at a Rutherford County Board of Education meeting, a scene which has drawn national attention to this hyper-divisive debate.
Knox was ridiculed, even laughed at, Tuesday evening by some in the school board meeting audience when he said his grandmother died of COVID-19 after being exposed to a person without a mask.
Knox was among the seven students who asked the Rutherford County Board of Education to require masks. Six of the students represented Central Magnet School, which serves high achievers in downtown Murfreesboro.
Knox: "This is going to continue if we don’t have a mask mandate. Contact tracing has been a big issue for students this year because all of us know that if we get contact traced we’re going to miss at least a week of school. That’s a week of instruction, a week of teacher contact that we’re going to miss.
'Things moved downward rather quickly':Airlines say rise in COVID-19 cases is hurting ticket sales
The 'come on, man' speech:Why Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate was the fiery TV we needed
Knox remained calm while getting heckled. His composure impressed his father, Kerry Knox, a Murfreesboro attorney, who had a sense of disbelief that a crowd would act like that to a child.
"I wanted to defend him but he handled it so much better than I could have," said the father.
Knox's grandmother lived at Adams Place retirement community in Murfreesboro before she died of COVID-19.
Prior to that, she retired from a career as an English teacher at Oakland High, Kerry Knox said.
The board's indecision on changing the policy followed a three-hour debate that included hearing a few dozen speeches from people on both sides of the mask issue in a packed meeting room.
Knox: "I talked to one of my classmates today, and he said that he was worried about a test that he had to take because he had missed the entire last week of school and hadn’t seen his math teacher until that day. This is not something that we want to be going on in our schools."
Some of the people against masks heckled and laughed at Knox to interrupt his speech while others defended him. This video recorded moment went viral as national media outlets shared the story.
Knox initially talked about students missing out on instruction days because of the COVID-19 spread before he mentioned his concerns for his family's health.
Grady: 'We're killing people'
Knox stopped for a few seconds when the audience heckling occurred before board Chairman Coy Young spoke.
"Hey guys, we’re here to act professional," Young said before Knox continued.
"This is an avoidable issue, and by not wearing masks in schools, it’s irresponsible. We’re killing people. This is not something we should be doing for the education of our students. Thank you."
Knox was part of a group of six Central Magnet School students organized by classmate Will Severn to speak.
Grady and other speaking students impress board vice chairwoman
Knox also impressed board vice chairwoman Tiffany Johnson. She recalled hearing one man in the crowd speaking in the direction of Knox:
“Oh come on son. That’s not true.”
Johnson said Knox demonstrated maturity and professionalism, unlike some of the antimasking audience members interrupting him.
"At that moment," Johnson said, "those people should have have been removed from the meeting."
Johnson recalled looking at the Rutherford County Sheriff's deputies in hopes they'd remove the hecklers.
"It was deeply troubling," Johnson added.
