People dying with their final thoughts being filled with anger and resentment instead of sharing time with family.

So sad - video interview: [twitter.com]

(I'll transcribe it for you...)
I have a night off from the hospital. As I’m on my couch with my dog I can’t help but think of the Covid patients the last few days. The ones that stick out are those who still don’t believe the virus is real. The ones who scream at you for a magic medicine and that Joe Biden is going to ruin the USA. All while gasping for breath on 100% Vapotherm (meaning that O2 assistance is at maximum and they still can't breathe - death is not far away).

They tell you there must be another reason they are sick. They call you names and ask why you have to wear all that “stuff” because they don’t have COViD because it’s not real. Yes. This really happens. And I can’t stop thinking about it. These people really think this isn’t going to happen to them. And then they stop yelling at you when they get intubated. It’s like a @#$%& horror movie that never ends. There’s no credits that roll. You just go back and do it all over again.

Which is what I will do for the next three nights. But tonight. It’s me and Cliff and Oreo ice cream. And how ironic I have on my “home” Hoodie. The South Dakota I love seems far away right now.

The final enlightenment of a South Dakota Republican.

Dang! I guess it wasn’t a hoax after all....

I thought this photo and headline were made for each other:

With pandemic raging, Republicans say election results validate their approach



Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds of Iowa called her party’s down-ballot victories “a validation of our balanced response
to covid-19, one that is mindful of both public health and economic health.”

Pandemic? What “pandemic”? And why are they chanting “We’re number 3! We’re number 3!”

There are liars, damned liars, and Republicans.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

It's so sad. My county had infections start to blow up after Labor Day. More have died in the last two week than the previous 8 months.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds issues mask mandate after disparaging it as 'feel good' measure

Quote

The three-week proclamation, which goes into effect on Tuesday, limited social gatherings to no more than 15 people indoors and 30 outdoors. The directive also restricted the operating hours of bars and restaurants between 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., while permitting takeout and drive-through services outside of that time window.

Just basic public health in the midst of the pandemic of the century. I guess the old “balanced response” wasn’t doing the trick, with cases and deaths soaring, and their hospitals filled to the brink.

Better late than never.

Ms Reynolds is exempt from any sort of cognitive ability exam?

This is just the worst president.
