“He’s going off about vaccines. He’s blaming them for the delta variant.”

Oh, that whole trip. Was he a signatory to the Great Barrington Declaration, or whatever the fuck it was called? Anyway dollars to donuts he’s vaccinated, and just doing his job, which is to shoot his mouth off.

I’m sorry you are stuck living out there. We have no mask mandate in Rhode Island, but you would never know it from all the masks.

I’m back to masking indoors plus (and this is new to me) testing 2x/week. Breakthrough infection (which is different from disease) there is at least a meaningful chance of, in fact this has always been so from the beginning, but I guess more so for delta. Anyway if I’m infected I want to know so I can notify people I’ve been around, and testing around here is free and convenient.

You are a worse doomscoller than I am even, and my daughter worries about me. The news media will make you crazy. If you want real information listen to TWIV. You seem like a geek so you might be up for it.
