Where it is real F ing COLD
Two friends of mine died from Covid one 37 and one 63, those on my FB can scroll down to the go fund me for my friend who was in Mexico trying to get him back to the US.

I blame their political affiliation and their devout loyalism to Trump, well partially at some point you got to have your own common sense but both absolutely refused to wear mask and social distance, calling it a hoax, ?it will go
Away after the election? blah blah blah but what killed them was their absolute stubbornness.

Henry 37 had covid like symptoms, would not get checked as 99% survive, many told him to go get checked, he refused and even went to Mexico, (dumb) said he will feel better once he gets in the sun. ( gee who said that? ) he got very drunk the first night and I?m sure it masked a lot of his symptoms and by the next morning he was very sick and rushed to a Mexico hospital where he was vented and who knows what all happened? His family had to pay 50 grand cash to get him moved to a hospital in Minneapolis where he died on full vent support about a week later. Henry was a great guy, would help anybody and we spent plenty of evenings having beers around a campfire. Why did he not get checked? Why did he have this lax approach to covid? You tell me

Going to just copy a few texts from recently. These are all things I texted, so I?m copying myself.

...I think covid has taught us how to protect our seniors and vulnerable population. Whether we learned from that or not is another question...

... Hell, we know now how to practically eradicate the flu! That?s earth shattering information...

... I haven?t had a flu patient all year...

... Every patient tested for covid is tested for the flu...I have seen thousands of covid + tests and not one single positive flu test.

... The covid deaths are sort of insidious. We are seeing people months out who are still sick and becoming ill with other things that will kill them. Had an old lady last night who had afib and chf. She now has a weak heart, and having all sorts of problems. Perfectly healthy before covid...

***other covid ?long haul? things I have seen recently. Confusion to the point of psychosis sometimes which is being referred to as ?covid brain?. Toes that are literally turning red/black and rotting off and not related to to a premorbid condition. It?s referred to informally now as ?covid toes?. We have a guy now who is most likely going to lose both feet. Loss of smell and taste for months! Inability to be without Oxygen/home Oxygen is required. Many people who are now on dialysis for the rest of their lives.***

***I?ll preface this next one with this. I feel I am a conservative both fiscally AND in regards to social issues. However, I am in strong disagreement with many vocal people in regards to wearing masks. I think this started with President Trump never really encouraging mask wearing and even brazenly going for a well publicized ride in the car when he and many in the White House had it around his hospitalization. A friend who I would have formerly called a liberal pointed out to me that actual liberalism is all about the self, it?s the opposite of socialism, and how do you justify mask attitude vs law and order. Common anti mask statements. ?I have claustrophobia. The mask makes that unbearable?. ?Where are my rights?? ?I can?t breathe!? Seriously, suck it up. If a covid patient on 15 L of hi flow Oxygen can wear a mask when going out of their room for a test, so can you. ***

...The conservatives as a whole have lost their way. The mask think is all about rights to them. How about making it about being selfless and protecting our fellow man? It makes no sense and defies logic. They will blast all the gender neutral bathrooms or sex changes or gay rights/trans rights, but heaven forbid you take their ?rights? away and make them wear a mask. It?s all me me me. Not only the mask either. Most of these assholes probably don?t even wash their hands after they take a shit. They haven?t seen what I have, and I didn?t even work half the year last year!...

I've been wearing a mask for almost a year, where has it gotten me? I could care less about the stupid fucking mask...can we please just open the country back up though? I'll continue to wear it for as long as they ask me too if Vegas will drop the Covid restrictions on everything....masks....smfh, just don't ask me to wear 2
