I think the vaccination rates will stay up only if the Covid-19 infections continue to stay high, which is a double edged word. Even now the GQP members are playing games with House rules and masks and they will continue I think. They are playing to their moronic audience, not for our health and safety. Will bet most of them are vaccinated but won't admit it. Are Congress members considered Federal employees?

Tens of thousands of French protest demonstrators march for "liberte" to die of a largely preventable transmissible disease.

Well fear was used to get these lunkheads to be anti mask/shutdown/vaccines so if we can make them more afraid of the virus and it's effects let's go with that.

'Rona Ron may reach his sought after "herd-immunity" yet. With the greater number of deaths due to Covid occurring among the unvaccinated the vaccinated survivors may well reach the herd immunity level. Of course severely depleting the GQP ranks could put 'Rona Ron's election hopes into question.

Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC ·
2h

I was just informed by the House physician I have tested positive for #COVID19 even after being vaccinated.

I started having flu-like symptoms Saturday night and went to the doctor this morning.

Replying to @LindseyGrahamSC

I feel like I have a sinus infection and at present time I have mild symptoms.

I will be quarantining for ten days.

I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now.

My symptoms would be far worse.

Well here we are folks, the one thing I dreaded. Masks mandatory in all Bary Area counties except Napa and Solano (wine and wine tours needs to keep flowing) effective midnight tonight. Not that I am opposed to wearing masks, in fact we continued to wear masks mostly to avoid getting sick from all the viruses.

The fear is that a lot of people are going to refuse to wear masks, perhaps people are tired of being told what to do and what not to do. Call it Covid fatigue, right or wrong its there. Unfortunately rates of infection in fully vaccinated is fairly high, they don't get real sick but they spread the virus. Ar rocky few months in our future not to mention another slow down in the economy. GQP wins and people will continue to die.

One would think that the republicans who are pushing for less restrictions regarding masks would realize that the people who listen to them are likely to get sick and possibly die and are the people who vote for them.

Also they will use the ongoing outbreaks as a tool to tarnish the Dems. For not stopping the virus by now. Or hoping that it will get worse and tough restrictions will have to be reinstated.

We know that the cult will never see or admit to any part in the ongoing infections.... make excuses and deflect on to others.

To the Repubs those that vote for them are disposable. Their attempts to rig the electoral system from the inside shines a light on how they plan to tip elections in their favor regardless of the actual vote.
