(10,089 posts)and travel, well be seeing numbers like the previous worst peak. That itll be hitting RWers will no doubt give me some satisfaction, but theyll be spreading it to others and moreover providing plentiful subjects for mutations. Just looking at the graphs its obvious that a new variation comes along at regular intervals. Id been hoping, like many others, that we were starting to get past the pandemic. But the way it looks this is the new reality going forward. Id thought that as people got sick and or died many people would see the light who had been resisting vaccines and other precautions. That hasnt really happened. Maybe enough of them will die off to reduce their political clout. Or maybe itll at least drive liberal voters to make sure they vote. I think Covid is the only reason we got rid of TFG. Maybe by mid terms the turnout will be good enough to solidify our position.
