Kids with Covid going into hospitals: midtern polls looking bad for Democrats. None of this had to happen. All they had to do was pay $2000 a month for everyone to stay home until this was over and we would be infinitely better off right now.

Shoulda coulda woulda it’s impossible to go back, so what can we do now? Nothing just let this ride out but hopefully the vaccine didn’t cause more mutations. The virus will always try to find a way. That’s why the flu vaccine isn’t the same formula every year.

To be fair, mutations also happen outside of this country. But yeah, things could be a lot better here if we achieved herd immunity instead of turning the country into a damned giant petri dish.

Another tragedy is the disappearance of small, already struggling businesses. Downtowns across the country are boarded up, instead of the government paying the businesses to maintain their payroll and rent. Unbelievable, this socially Darwinistic hellhole we live in.

Probably was a bad idea to rush everyone back to unsafe jobs and tell them they were at low risk, rush back to unsafe schools, downplay delta, manufacture the perceived “end of the pandemic.” Their perception is directly related to Biden administration’s priorities and choices.

#UBISavesLives #VirusKills Marianne speaks about the heart of the beast, the stuff that people aren't seeing clearly. If we had committed hard enough to take care of our people with a #UBI style stimulus, we could have avoided both the economic apocalypse and the spread.

But 40% of the "smartest voters in the world" wanted the fast food worker back in their "careers" so they could get their hit in airports for trips they should not have been taking. UBI is the real solution & exceptional USA won't do it. Billionaires could have saved us, but no.
You mean MAGA wouldn’t be throwing parties at home?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes, they could have. But what's happening now is kids are getting RSV *and* COVID. Neither is normally dangerous, but together they can be. This out of season RSV outbreak is brought to you by their immune systems being isolated for over a year.
