[Jersey Girl]

The state of Colorado has opened a lottery. Five people who are vaccinated will have a chance to win a million dollars each. I will report here when I win!

Wouldn't that be amazing? I mean amazing to win and amazing that you think I would share a penny with you. How about if I win, I get on a plane and bring you ME? I know exactly what hotel to stay in. I could hire a driver and we could go tooling all over the place...you and your fam could make me some fish food! We could make CC meet up with us. That's worth a million is it not?

(He better say "yes" or it's totally over.)

Intriguing suggestion, Jersey Girl!

Intriguing suggestion, Jersey Girl!

You will be happy to hear that I just checked the state data base to make sure my immunization records are on file prior to the drawings starting in June and...

Now you're getting nothing! You're history! Be gone with you! Get thee behind me, Gunner!

Now you're getting nothing! You're history! Be gone with you! Get thee behind me, Gunner!

That's alright. I could not in good conscience have really accepted your offer to share your winnings with me anyway Wouldn't you have felt the same if I offered to share my winnings with you?

Forget it! By deliberately and repeatedly getting my name wrong, you have ruined any chance of my even offering to share my winnings with you anyway.

Interesting thread.

I work in infection control. Specifically, airborne infection control. I have been in this business for a long time. I founded a new company just prior to the pandemic that has a solution to integrate infection control policies and practices. Ironically, I was also on a flight from Taipei - Seattle on Jan 13 2020. I have been in the rooms with a lot of covid patients. I have converted hundreds of rooms to negative pressure. I have monitored and repaired rooms for covid specific cases and have gowned up and worked in the rooms during emergencies. I have not met anyone that has been more involved in the mechanical processes associated with covid. I prepared and monitored the room for the first patient to enter a private hospital that had been on the Diamond Princess.

I have worked with a lot of nurses, administrators and engineers. I worked during the surge for uncountable consecutive days and hours.

From all that, this is what I can tell you.... don't believe a fraction of the crap you hear on the news or on Twitter or, most importantly, from a politician. most of what you hear is just plain ridiculous. Covid is DAMN REAL. I have seen the trauma and the drama. It is real. And a lot of this other stuff is just selling clicks and people doing misguided stupid stuff.

All y'all do what all y'all want to do and what you think is best for your family. Chances are, other families want to do what is best for them too. And chances are, if you think you know exactly what everyone else should be doing, you are likely a bit misguided. Best intentions maybe, but misguided nonetheless. We all get to do it our way in difficult circumstances. It is tough, given the complete lack of credibility of most or our leadership. All the best. This will get better. The political fault line stuff, that will get worse. But antibodies and viruses - gonna get better.
