Couple of headlines from today. I don’t know about the rest of you, but after I get my second shot Friday I’m sticking with the mask — if only to remind people there’s a fucking deadly virus in the air. And something like 84% of Americans are not yet fully vaccinated.

granted i have an advanced degree in worrying, but, it’s weird, i think it was after the bird flu or something around 2010 or so, and it sure seemed like the folks in Asia that that (Saars or maars, birdflu or something) virus hit hard learned their lesson and reacted much better this go around…same for Africa after that ebola stuff (now that is one illness that should scare the hell out of you), they reacted much better to Covid-19 than here in the states…

i don’t know, at times it seems like our country is filled with 300 million teens telling everyone that no one can tell them what to do: i’m pursuing my happiness, leave me the fuck alone…

Mike Schmitz:
New on YouTube: ESPN Film Session with UConn star guard James Bouknight, arguably the most effortless scorer in the draft. https://youtu.be/RuIs6dl19Hw

Would be very happy if we get this guy in the draft. And “arguably the most effortless scorer” sounds like something we could use. 🙂

Huh. Just discovered that the Wolves have four guys averaging 17.2, 19.3, 20.0, and 24.1 points per game.

That’s decent firepower. Thank god they suck otherwise.

Z-man: DAL-BOS…damn, who do I root for in that game?

Stare at the marshmallow a little more. Every DAL loss needs to be cherished.

Very happy to know you guys in america are getting vaccinated. But how about the rest of the world? Any KBer from europe vaccinated? Here at least my parents (79 and 80) already got their first dose, not all is bad. And in China, KFniNJ? Australia (dtrickey and other i don’t remember the handle)? And you, Bruno, how are you? Brazil is the center of the pandemic right now, i think. Hope all is well with you.

I’m vaccinated, and I just took a flight out of Newark on Tuesday. Airport and security lines were packed with long waits and families had kids running all over. (It’s Spring Recess for NYC public schools among others.) Everyone was good about wearing masks, but there was not six inches of social distancing let alone six feet. Flight was packed also.

Please do, as here in Portugal a vaccinated man abandoned the covid-protocols and later became a super-spreader.

In fact, most vaccines don’t fully protect against infection, even if they can block symptoms from appearing. As a result, vaccinated people can unknowingly carry and spread pathogens. Occasionally, they can even start epidemics.

I got my first shot sunday. We drove to a small town 2 hours outside of Omaha bc a pharmacy there has extra ones and is letting anyone get them no matter their age.

When we got there, it was no surprise. This is small town Nebraska at a Hy-Vee (midwest grocery store). No one was wearing masks except the employees and most of them weren’t wearing them correctly. At one point we saw an employee take off his mask so he could sneeze. Oh boy.

It was crazy bc the all of the workers at the pharmacy were wearing masks perfectly and so were everyone waiting to get their shots but you could tell all the people getting their shots were from Omaha or Lincoln, which are both very “liberal” compared to the rest of the state. Seriously, I don’t mind it here at all. Omaha is actually a very chill city. But holy hell is the rest of Nebraska a hellscape of red state conservatism. No wonder this place has so many extras.

We got the Pfizer shot. No reaction to it at all. Go back in 2 weeks to get the second dose.

But I just don’t get everyone acting like this is over. Its so frustrating. After all this loss, people can’t just wear masks for like 3 or 4 months longer while we all get vaccinated?
