Are we talking about COVID, or supply chains. Pick one topic and stick with it.

The party of “personal responsibility” strikes again.
I’d just as soon see the masks go and a vax card requirement come into play.

We're talking about the CONSEQUENCES of our actions trying to "fight" Covid and its variants. Focus. I couldn't give two sheikhs about Covid itself - I'm vaccinated.

Well, I'm glad that someone understood my words.
I get that people are angry. They feel hopeless and helpless, which breeds contempt. But he said that he trying to do something about it. It's not up to him, me or you to fix this thing. People are typically at their angriest when they trying to fix something out of the realm of their control.

No you shifted to consequences. We were originally talking about the president reassuring calm, while the media hypes it's newest entertainment, fear based surge of guaranteed ratings and outrage. Stick with one topic.

Huh? We were talking about Biden and his actions, NOT Covid itself. President urging calm, while literally handing down consequences we will face "because" of the new variant. Mask mandate extended through March, and something draconian coming for airline travelers.

im still waiting for the fear, maybe I don’t do the right media sources but I ain’t seein it. Maybe the real problem is the people on the right pumped full of fear propaganda that they can’t see a black and white facts article without getting themselves in a frenzy. Witness any local news social media page posting a covid update with nothing more than how many new cases and hospitalizations that day and numerous right wingers going bananas in the comment section

Fear? Dems and left wing media. The Repubs and right wing media don't give two craps about Covid or its variants.

They don't. At least they stand by it. Those who die, die. Oh well.
Covid deaths are hardly Repub voters only.

I don't see or hear or fear either. I'm too busy working 60-70 hrs. a week at work. Trying to not go crazy myself, lol. When I'm home and not sleeping, I'm definitely NOT watching 24 hr. cable news, let alone local news. I'm out living my life. But I hear that COVID fear porn is a thing, but honestly I've never worried about it. I only worry about things that I have control over. In the beginning I was told that cities would be shut down, that there would be police road blocks and you had to have papers to get to an fro. Never happened. Life went on. It always does.

Why? The vax card is just as ineffective at preventing the spread as a mask. See recent California omicron case.

Because peope are...well terrible, I know for a fact that there are many out there with fake vaccine cards. So I don't blame anyone for keeping mask requirements in place.

Two facts that you have to stop ignoring. Fact 1- You are less likely to contract and spread the virus if vaccinated. Fact 2- You are less likely to require hospitalization or die if vaccinated.
It's reallt not rocket science here. It's common sense. We are currently at 59.4% of Americans vaccinated. Our healthcare system has been burdened so much due to hospitalizations that it has affected other parts of our infrastructure systems. We have entire plants shut down due to COVID issues. And it has been a cascading effect. And it's all because such a large percentage of the population stubbornness against vaccinations.

Here are some facts.
India population: 1,380,000,000
US population: 392,000,000
India vaccination rate: 31% fully vax
US vaccination rate: 59% fully vax
India population per sq mile: 386
US population per sq mile: 92
India isnt wearing masks and have less people vaccinated. Despite having 4X the population and people practically living on top of each other are in better state of Covid than we are. But sure, by all means tell me why masks and vaccines are important.
As Covid-19 Recedes in India, Bars Are Full and Masks Are Optional
A little over two months after a devastating coronavirus wave swept through the country, many have returned to crowded public spaces and abandoned pandemic safety measures.

The flaw in your analysis is thinking that the India data is anywhere near accurate. There are places in that Country that don't even have running water and electricity. Who the heck knows how many COVID deaths have gone unaccounted for over there.
India's Pandemic Death Toll Estimated At About 4 Million: 10 Times The Official Count
That's the number of "excess deaths" from January 2020 to June 2021, reflecting the true toll of COVID-19, say researchers in a new study. Why the big disparity?

If you took yesterdays case count and times it by 10 you would still be under our reported case count yesterday. With 4X the people and less vaccinated.The flaw in your analysis is thinking that the India data is anywhere near accurate.

Wasn't India just cremating like hundreds, or thousands of bodies a day just months ago, due to COVID deaths. Due to running out of room to bury the dead?
