Ominous Omicron

Ominous Omicron

by MichelleMcHatton

We blinked and a new coronavirus variant is upon us. And we know it won’t be the last. But Omicron is the latest and will probably be the one with us through 2022. So buckle up, get vaccinated and keep your facemasks on. You thought 2020 was bad? I don’t think we’ve seen anything yet, folks.

The emergence of Omicron has given the medical world stronger standing on pushing for the booster vaccination shots. Which may be all fine and dandy for some but it’s really left me with a lot of questions at this point. Which really causes me to hesitate in getting a booster shot myself.

First they kept telling the 65+ population to get the booster shots. Then, in my state, at least, they said, nope, now anyone 18+ can get it. But I’m still wondering when you’re going to let my 16-year-old get it. Her last vaccination shot was in May, so it’s been six months and she’s clearly eligible. Oh, but she’s not 18. Yet I remember all the harking on getting the 12-17 year-olds vaccinated. But now they can’t get booster shots?

And what are you going to do about the 5-11 year-olds once they become eligible for booster shots? When are you going to allow children under five to get vaccinated? They will surely become the first victims of Omicron.

And the question still remains: what happens when the boosters wear off? Because you, I, the CDC, the FDA, Dr. Fauci and the lamppost all know it’s only going to be a matter of time before they will.

It’s no surprise to me that Omicron has come for a visit. It’s no surprise to me that it has become a “variant of concern”. We should all be concerned about Omicron and any other variant that emerges.

Your best bet? Don’t plan on going to many places, stay home as much as possible and when you do venture out, wear your damn facemask. At the rate the world is going, we’ll be wearing those for the next fifty years. The days of living your life without a facemask, especially in a medical setting, are over.

Define “Dramatically Different Place”

Define “Dramatically Different Place”

by MichelleMcHatton

Yesterday Governor Charlie Baker stated that he is not changing his stance on masks for the state of Massachusetts because our state is in a “dramatically different place” than many other states.

Define “dramatically different place”. Are we in a “dramatically different place” because we don’t have our hospitals filled to capacity and not an ICU bed in sight? Are we in a “dramatically different place” because three-quarters of our state have received at least one shot? Although there is a quarter of our state who haven’t received any shots.

Until Massachusetts reaches and remains at zero cases, hospitalizations and deaths, we are “in the same place” as any other state in the country that is fighting the coronavirus. Baker also has to remember that the majority of our students have not even gone back to school yet. That’s when the real fun will begin.

There’s nothing “dramatically different” about people experiencing and dealing with a pandemic day in and day out. Our state’s experience may not be as dramatic as another’s, but it certainly isn’t different. Because Delta is not any better here than it is in Texas or Florida. It is the same highly contagious variant no matter where you are.

Doubling Up

Doubling Up

by MichelleMcHatton

It occurred to me tonight what the coronavirus vaccine really is. It’s double protection.

See, for the majority of us (or at least the sensible ones) who wear facemasks, we are already protecting ourselves by doing that. Once we are vaccinated, then we will have double the protection. And the fools who don’t wear masks, or half-wear them, if they get vaccinated, will only be partially protected. And the fools who don’t wear masks at all and don’t get vaccinated, won’t be protected at all. But unfortunately, we will still have the need to wear facemasks. Because of the assholes. But we will also have our vaccinations. So we’re double protected.

As for any of the SHITHOLE cultists out there who make statements such as Biden turning from a puppet into a zombie now that he has received the vaccination, remember that SHITHOLE2, TURTLEFACE, GRAB YOUR PEARLS GRAHAM and LIDDLE ASSHOLE MARCO all ran to get their vaccination before Biden. So I guess they’ll be zombies too. In fact, it looks like most of Congress will be turning into zombies, since the majority of them are getting their vaccinations before a great bulk of our medical communities. And I wonder how the zombie doctors will be able to care for your sick asses when you’re dying in the ICU on a ventilator? So cut the zombie shit. Morons.

I find it interesting, yet not surprising, that SHITHOLE isn’t interested in getting vaccinated. Then again, he believes the virus is a hoax and he’s preoccupied with coming up with new ways to try to keep his ass from going to prison. Now there’s someone who is already a zombie!

So when it’s time for you to get vaccinated, I can’t tell you what to do. But for that double barrier of protection, it may be wisest to get your shot. Then we’ll all meet up at the zombie fest and laugh at the fools who are missing out.

People Are Tired

People Are Tired

by MichelleMcHatton

People are tired of hearing about SHITHOLE, who has killed more than 215,000 Americans because he did away with protections for the country, called the coronavirus a “hoax”, refused to issue a countrywide lockdown, did not promote the use of facemasks, denied scientists, bashed Fauci and other health officials (including ones in the Shit House) and doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.  That’s why we’re voting his ass out November 3.

SHITHOLE had the audacity to call Fauci and other scientists “idiots”. But SHITHOLE is the real idiot.  The country may be ready to move on from the coronavirus, but the coronavirus is not moving on from America. In fact, it is moving on America like a bitch in heat. However, Americans ARE ready to move on from SHITHOLE, who has been an even bigger health disaster for this country than the coronavirus.  That’s why we’re voting his ass out November 3.

Because SHITHOLE has been in charge, we are in danger of having a quarter of a million people die.  Because SHITHOLE has refused to acknowledge the coronavirus, even though he himself allegedly contracted it, because he has failed to acknowledge the use of facemasks and social distancing, that is the main reason why the country is in the state it is in today. That’s why we’re voting his ass out November 3.

People may be tired of Covid.  But Covid is not going away.  SHITHOLE, however, WILL be going away. In fact, SHITHOLE will be gone BEFORE Covid. Because Covid may never fully go away. Unlike SHITHOLE. Who will eventually die. Until he does, we’re voting his ass out November 3.

We know the real reason why SHITHOLE is bent out of shape over Fauci.  It’s not because of what Fauci has said about the coronavirus.  It’s because Fauci was awarded with the first ever National Academy of Medicine’s Presidential Citation for Exemplary Leadership.  Because SHITHOLE, who cannot even win an Emmy, will never win one of those awards.  Nor will he ever win a Nobel Peace Prize. SHITHOLE is just a jealous prick whose ass we are voting out November 3.

The only thing SHITHOLE will probably ever win is a prison sentence.

Going In the Wrong Direction

Going In the Wrong Direction

by MichelleMcHatton

Where once Massachusetts seemed to be doing so well in the coronavirus war, we have somehow gotten out of control. Considering recent incidents I have witnessed, I can see why.

There’s nothing like standing in line at a pharmacy waiting to get a flu shot and having the elderly man in front of you coughing his head off. Then you later see the same man wearing a facemask–down over his chin.

In the same pharmacy I witnessed a man approach the pharmacy desk–with no facemask on. As the 98-year-old woman going to get her flu shot passed by.

My sister, who works in a grocery store, tells me of this crazy guy who comes in several times a week wearing a winter hat, carrying a Macy’s bag and wearing no mask. When he is told he needs to wear a mask, he laughs and says “well, you’re wearing a mask so we’re all set”. My sister said if she could do it and not get fired, she’d rip off her mask, cough in his face and tell him now he’s all set too. He now has coronavirus. The only thing this nut job buys is six pounds of ripe bananas. Either he has a pet monkey or he really is a looney tune.

The problem with these scenarios, and part of the reason why Massachusetts is through the roof once again with cases, after doing so well, is that the management in these places isn’t doing anything about the problem people that are visiting. And once these problem people visit and get away with it, they think they can every time.

The other day one of them ranted and raved at the manager at Customer Service in the supermarket because he was spoken to about not having a mask on. He whipped out his alleged “I have a disability and don’t need a mask” card and the customer service rep let it go. What she really should have done was call security and have his mask less ass hauled out of the store and banned from the store for life.

My sister, who is a cashier at this store, told me this scenario:

Customer: (sigh) I’m so sick of having to wear a mask

Sis: Considering I have a friend who is in the hospital on a ventilator right now due to Covid, I think wearing a mask is a good idea.

Not sure, but I think that bitch will think twice in the future before complaining about wearing a mask.

With the rising cases, do I think it’s wise of Governor Baker to warrant an increase in restaurant seating, open venues and arcades, roller rinks, museums, etc.? Even if they’re just in the “good” communities? Do I think it’s wise of my school district to be planning on having athletics and working on a hybrid plan to get the high schoolers back in school before Thanksgiving? Not exactly. Not with between 500–700-plus cases popping up every day. What happens when we start seeing the numbers we saw back in March? One-thousand plus cases. Every day. Then what?

Considering most have the freedom to go just about anywhere they want if they wear a mask, they should keep in mind those who cannot go anywhere because they cannot wear a mask. Like my autistic sister Peggy and most of the people who attend her day program, which they haven’t been to in over six months. Most of these people, my sister included, haven’t stepped foot in a store, a salon, a bar, a museum, a zoo, amusement park, beach or restaurant since March. I’m lucky I can even visit my sister at all and the most we can do is go for a ride. I can’t take her anywhere except to my house for a visit and that’s not too fun for her. So it really angers me when people who have all the liberties in the world with the simple use of a goddamn facemask are bitching and complaining. And the ones who do have the ability to wear a fucking mask won’t because they’re too goddamn ignorant.

You know the old saying “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch”? Well, those few out there are the bad apples. And they’re the ones spoiling the whole bunch.
