3124 dead yesterday, in USA.
Protesting vs masks and vaccines there is approaching a fever pitch too. Florida megachurch politically connected preacher thinks vaccinating is the Mark of the Beast. How long till we read he's in ICU?
Expected toll should hit 300,000 dead before the end of the week. Then the Thanksgiving effect begins. The denialists will learn the same amount as they did at the beginning: exactly zero.
Reality slowly closes in on them. Rugged individualism, bootstraps, paranoid conspiratorial thinking and freedom to endanger the population have not worked out so well.
Our MMR shots are delivered yesterday. Picking them up in a cooler today from work. 8 cases reported yesterday, lowest in a while here. Once vaccinated with these, our personal risk should be relatively negligible. The contrast is black and white.
