24 hours later. Mrs mermania is feeling sore but basically fine.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Liberty??

That’s not liberty that’s stupid. Is it really so fucking hard to just wear your mask and socially distance and follow the provided instructions?

Indeed. Wearing a mask is not a political issue and yet in the US...it is.

Your sadly so right. I went home to visit my family for Christmas and Rutland is a hardcore conservative area. My dad said people were legitimately being harassed and publicly bullied simply for wearing masks and gloves or asking for hand sanitizer. Like... seriously... antivirus measures amid a pandemic shouldn’t even be an element of politics.

But... I’m crying in the wind...

That's not surprising,AstraZeneca has released a series of questionable data since last year....Some of the data even make people feel like a prank.South Africa has vetoed it, and France has banned its use by health care workers.

My dad gets his second dose of the Moderna vaccine next week. Hopefully the side effects will be minimal. I've heard from other people I know that have gotten the vaccine that the second dose is pretty rough (though it still beats catching covid).

It'll definitely make me feel better once he gets fully vaccinated. I've been more worried about him getting covid than I have myself.

You know when you've been exposed to someone with covid and gotta isolate and you're just so shaky and shuddery wondering if you have it? And your hypochondria kicks in and you mistake everything for covid symptoms?

Yeah. I had a cough while I was quarantined and it was the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. I'll pray that you stay healthy. :hug:
