'Batten Down The States' Here We Go Again!

Fauci says new Covid-19 cases are at a disturbing level as the US is primed for a surge

The number of new Covid-19 cases has plateaued at a "disturbingly high level," and the US is at risk from a new surge, Dr. Anthony Fauci war

BAFMnotes: Somehow our educational system has drastically failed us because we really have too many 'stupid' people who will not listen to the experts, but continue to put their lives and ours constantly in danger. You know who they are, they're friends, relatives, neighbors, and coworkers. Maskless, they see you wearing a mask and quickly dart away, or ridicule and make fun of those complying with CDC Protocols. And politicians who know better are gambling that their game playing won't kill us all off or that there will still be enough workers and consumers left to power the engines of commerce. The truth of the matter is that we are in a war against these fools and right now , despite our science and technology, we're losing and we are too impatient to realize it!

Osterholm compared vaccines to protective fireproof gear, but warned against testing its' effectiveness by walking into a fire, especially when you can avoid it...

Why Biden Is Ramping Up Vaccine Inoculation: People Don't Listen!

The Fourth Surge Is Upon Us. This Time, It’s Different.

A deadlier and more transmissible variant has taken root, but now we have the tools to stop it if we want.

"Across the United States, cases have started rising again. In a few cities, even hospitalizations are ticking up. The twists and turns of a pandemic can be hard to predict, but this most recent increase was almost inevitable: A more transmissible and more deadly variant called B.1.1.7 has established itself at the precise moment when many regions are opening up rapidly by lifting mask mandates, indoor-gathering restrictions, and occupancy limits on gyms and restaurants."

BAFMnotes: Tone deaf, weary, or just plain stupid, government is playing catch-up to inoculate as many people as possible as epidemiologists agree that it's hard to calculate the public response to a pandemic made worse by the Trump Administration lies and dismissive policies.
