Corona-zona

  This blog has featured lots of coverage  of Florida and its reckless pandemic behaviors and policies. I never thought any state could challenge their position as the Top COVIDiot State. But Idaho is making a serious run at it.   According to data from the last seven days compiled by the NY Times, Idaho ranks 9th worst among states with 68 cases per 100K, a 19% increase over the previous week.  It ranks 12th worst with 37 hospitalizations per 100K, a 29% increase over the previous week.  And it ranks fourth worst with 1.22 deaths per 100K (no change info given).  Here is a comparison table: Florida is still beating Idaho on hospitalizations and deaths. But don't let that get you down, Idaho! Florida's case and hospitalization trends are downward whereas yours are upward. You can still take the lead! I am gratified to see that Arizona is doing so well in this comparison. Our governor is fighting like hell be as pro-disease as his counterparts in ...

Just when you think things can't get any crazier. The Daily Mail reports that a group of veterans formed a group and was mulling armed attacks on vaccine centers and employees. Because the vaccinations are causing...what harm? Veterans 4 Freedom (V4F) is made up of more than 200 douchebags who used to serve in the military.  They pretended to be a peaceful group while using the encrypted messaging app Telegram to discuss violent insurrection. They were infiltrated by a reporter. One member said they were "bringing the fight to the people sticking the needle in." The Daily Mail piece caused the leader of the group, someone named Bellzaac, to call off the group's operations.  Talking out of both sides of his mouth, he said in public on Twitter, "basically we were a peaceful group and have been labelled with being something we are not. We wanted to do this legally & lawfully."  On the other hand, in private on Telegram he was saying "we are fucking ...

  People are p acking Lake of the Ozarks recreation facilities, and nobody wears masks—after all, Ozark is krazo spelled backwards.  A bartender named Erin said she's been fine so far, so what is there to worry about?  She thinks people are dying from the vaccine (they're not) and says “personally, I feel like my immune system is doing a good job, so why pump it full of something that we don’t really know what it is?” Erin, we really do know what it is, and it has been proven safe now 348 million times (in the U.S.).  Missouri has the fifth worse infection rate in the country, 346 new cases per 100K on a seven-day average, according to the  CDC .  It also has the 12th lowest vaccination rate in the country according to Johns Hopkins .   Some Missourians have decided, wisely, that this is a good reason to go ahead and get vaccinated. The problem is they don't want their friends, neighbors, and family members to find out and harass them.  They...

Over the weekend anti-vax protestors showed up at Los Angeles's Dodger Stadium, the largest vaccination site in the country, and staged a protest . Police said the protest was peaceful.  But the fire department closed the entrance to prevent them from moving onto the grounds or getting killed by traffic. In the end they didn't prevent anyone from getting a vaccination who had an appointment, but they did hold up the line for about an hour. In my option, these protestors are very lucky the people waiting in line didn't jump out of their cars and beat them senseless.   You have to wonder what these crackpots thought they would accomplish with their protest. People who are there already accept the truth that vaccines are protective, and don't think COVID-19 is a hoax. Did they think they would win converts? It was a fool's errand, kind of like holding an atheism demonstration outside the entrance to St. Peter's. Now it seems that the anti-vaxxers are increasingly j...
