in all seriousness, I didn't even mean it political or anything along those lines. I just meant it literally as when I hear LA, I now think fantasy island! BUT, I do fondly remember early trips to LA and Disneyland. And of course, I remember my favorite music genre flourishing on the Sunset Strip! Every band/singer from Elton John to Ozzy to GNR to Def Leppard owes that strip for a lot of their success.

That was perhaps my favorite part of the greater LA area....the thriving music scene. My life used to revolve around the vibrant artistry of it all, and Hollywood/LA was the playground. I feel very fortunate to have had so many amazing music life experiences. It was total freedom and an energy words cannot describe. Everyone from the strip or from out of town gave LA their best effort, and I can't believe how many times I found myself at the right place at that right time. Pure magic and wonderful memories.

If you are vaccinated, you shouldn't have much if anything to worry about. Even in the rare case you get it, the odds are in your favor you would not even know it. At this point, it is out of sight out of mind for me. I am vaccinated, life moves on and so it goes.

As for California putting a mask mandate back in place and no offense to California friends on here, but I certainly would not trust or take into consideration anything LA County does as normal. Isn't this the same place where the District Attorney ordered police and DA's not to show up parole hearings including the ones for the Manson Murderers? I would say any advice or narrative they put out should be regarded as hogwash at best. What a looney tunes County/Town for real, it really is make believe out there, truly the only location for an industry who makes their living on fictional narratives! :)

Lots of people getting it in the UK despite being double vaccinated . Our Health Minister just tested positive and now Boris and Chancellor have been forced into self isolating .

I read somewhere that the LA County Sherriff has indicated he won't take action in regard to mask mandate. Good on him. Must be tough being in law enforcement in LA / CA.

Of course want no one to get it, but are they actually sick? I have read where a lot of vaccinated people are and will test positive for variants, but being vaccinated protects against the illness affects as well as the spread. I am not a doctor and again, do not pretend to understand it, but that is what I read and my first cousin is a neuroradiologist MD, that was his comments to (I listen to him b/c he is smart!).

The issue is that the high number of unvaccinated people let the variants foster and that a new variant could learn to nullify the vaccines.

Hopefully we don't get to that point!! I am hopeful that more and more people continue to get vaccinated.

Exactly this, thank you!

It's like letting a team you are beating soundly and have on the ropes hang around late in the game when you really should have finished them off earlier in the match. It gives them potential to surge anew if a few things suddenly fall in their favor.
We should be stepping on the throat of the virus instead of letting it linger and continuing to mutate.

I was talking to my doctor today; he told me they are expecting a ramp up the rest of July and then a surge in August/September, number of positives should start to tail off in October and into November....................................the hope in the medical community is if the numbers start to climb in positives, hospitalizations and sadly, deaths, many who are on the fence about getting vaccinated will decide to do so.

This virus, like any virus, will burn out when it runs out of hosts/the number of hosts is limited via vaccines.

As he put it "It will never happen, but if say TODAY every unvaccinated person around the world got dose one, within 4 to 6 weeks, COVID would be gone."

Sadly yes; it will never happen.
 
It made me a bit sick but then so do many things. It wasn't worse than a nasty cold, and I had a rough reaction compared to most.
So, even if you are sick, I would suggest getting the vaccine. At least I know my earache is not Covid. And I can get my hair cut by someone other than the Drill Sgt. or my shave-job.
Just please get it. The pain & even sickness is nothing compared to what could happen. I know some people in bad shape because they caught it earlier.
Anyway, Best Wishes & Stay Safe!
P.S. Schaumburg should be good to go in late Sept., as good as anywhere, and as good as Schaumburg can ever be (I live near, JK){sm4}

I agree with you Paddy to a point.

IMO, All people with comorbidities (high blood pressure, diabetes/ pre diabetes, obesity or otherwise compromised immune symptoms) should take the vaccine; it's worth the risk most times. This is especially true if your older than 65. The rest of us, need to be careful around these people in this group. Aside from that, live life and stop watching and reading about so much media "Fear Porn".

The media is profiting under the guise of operating with the public good...Government policy has gone beyond what is necessary. We'll all have to live with the precedence of over-reach for the next crisis. Next casualty: "Free Speech"

Here's a suggestion based on my personal experience: Strengthen your immune system with a low carbohydrate diet. Yes, this means eliminating almost all sugars from your diet. Throw in "Intermittent Fasting" (e.g. east within 8 hour window) and in time your immunity will jump. It's not just about losing mass does of weight! This work far better than exercise! But it's too hard, when all you have to do is take a couple of vaccine shots and wham; your protected and can go back to living life as usual.

Here's a dirty word: "Ivermectin" its great as a prophylactic (prevention) and treatment in early stages of COVID. This topic is considered not "disinformation" but instead as "misinformation"...Make your own minds up why? Hint: Can you spell "corruption"? Wait: that sounds like a baseless "Conspiracy theory"...Maybe it is, but you'll never know unless you take on the burden of researching these things on your own.

Thank you for allowing me to rant,

Just a quick post to say thank you so much to all who have posted articles and photos here during the pandemic. It has been a source of real pleasure and no little inspiration. Thank you all for taking the time and trouble to illuminate a pretty bleak period for all of us.

I friend of mine sent me a long, lengthy email today; this part really jumped out at me as hospitals in certain lower vaccinated rate areas start to fill up..............as well as body bags;

"Instead of feeling smug with my vaccine and my surfeit of real, actual scientific knowledge, I just feel sad that we've gotten to this point at all. That something so fundamental as infectious disease gets so politicized, and that unscrupulous people spread misinformation deliberately, indicates another sort of disease to me, one that results in a dangerous, pestilential culture that itself perpetrates the virus we're all up against."
 
I received a regular Flu shot last year, received 2 doses of Moderna vaccine in the Spring...I've never had a sniffle or a cold in the last year...I'm done with Masks.... be it a new strand. Different name....I'll take my chances and live my life as normal as possible.
 
More bad virus news for American parents and grandparents. This one infects American children via TV's and computer screens{sm2}.

According to current Daily Mail article American kids are being infected with the "Bluey" strain of virus. Some may be unaware this has happened but Bluey (a blue heeler dog) is a very popular cartoon series that is infecting kids all around the world. American parents are noticing symptoms such as their kids speaking with Aussie accents and using words like brekky (breakfast) and dunny (toilet).

The World Health Organisation has already issued instructions that all American households should hand in their TV's, computers, mobile phones and IPads within the next 14 days otherwise the virus will be out of control. Once 80% of people have handed their devices in then herd immunity will have been reached and the children saved. The White House is denying reports that there is already a flood of people applying for exemptions. However it has been reported that the Assisant Assistant Secretary to the Senior Deputy Assisant Secretary of the Health Department is denying reports that they do accept cash when processing the applications.

The WHO is concerned that this could be a more serious variant of a previous strain known as the Dundee. In that pandemic over 20 years ago adults were buying large knives and using ancient words like "cobber" and picking fights with South American drug lords. Due to the current lockdown streaming services have been directed by Dr Fauci to not show re-runs of the movie Crocodile Dundee.

You have been warned.

PS There is actually a Daily Mail article about this cartoon. It may or may not contain all the above information{sm4}
 
I posted this a few weeks ago...
yes...some people that have been vaccinated are getting the virus...
but those unvaccinated are getting absolutely crushed...


• Almost everybody dying with COVID-19 infection is unvaccinated.
• Almost everybody forced into a hospital and to undergo treatment to avoid dying is unvaccinated.
And using the word “almost” is hedging the facts almost more than practically necessary.
Only about 150 of the more than 18,000 U.S. COVID-19-related deaths in May were among fully vaccinated people, according to an Associated Press analysis of available government data.
That means only about 0.8 percent of the deaths were among vaccinated people, which means more than 99 percent of the dead were unvaccinated.
That should be close enough to “all” to get the attention of anybody who hasn’t been vaccinated.

Larry Allen mentioned this new lambda variant of Covid in a group email today...
I heard it mentioned a month or so ago...
but didn't give it much attention...
til I read this article...
this is scary...
wearing a mask is no big deal to me...
easier than putting on my socks...
pretty simple...
and if provides any protection at all...that's better than nothing...

A variant that evades vaccines is/was probably inevitable.

Yeah that's great Carlos.

You can eat a sugar free diet, stay away from fried foods and junk food, work out, take your vitamins, etc, etc................the MNRA vaccine in layman's terms gives your body the ammunition it needs to attack this virus the second it enters your body.

Think of it as a defense mechanism your body is now armed with to combat this virus.

Anything else again is all well and good, but it does virtually nothing to arm your body with the ammunition it's going to need for this fight.
