To be honest?

I have no intention of watching a super spreader event. We have a twofer tonight. CNN's and TFG's.

We all know that TFG's crowd will not be vaccinated/masked/ social distance and CNN, welp, they require a vaccine card or a negative test. Rapid tests are not reliable and vaccine cards can be purchased. We also know that a vaccinated person can catch it and spread it, CNN has aired that point. Took a brief moment to see the NYC crowd, not a mask in sight and no social distancing. Shame on you CNN for promoting this as you spend hour after hour reporting on the escalation of the virus.

TFG does it for money and a pathetic attempt to prove his relevance. CNN does it for money and ratings.

Ain't life grand.

My daughter was invited to a indoor wedding with hundreds of people. A huge concert in NYC when case rates are increasing. People attending the funeral of someone who died of Covid and not wearing masks or social distancing. I can't wrap my head around this.

came back with such a vengeance. I'm sure this has been planned for months but they could have cancelled.

I'm watching because I'm sick of news.

The Boston marathon is planned in advance. Thousands in lost revenue and cancelled twice.

I am sick of the news as well, bsis. However I refuse to watch.
