22. Losing a family member to a preventable disease is a wake-up call.

And these fuckers don’t give a damn about other people. They’re only pro-vax now so people don’t turn against the network.

It’s hell when people get hospitalized now — for anything. Visits are highly controlled, but visitors are probably still forbidden for Covid patients.

Covid is affecting everything. My grandmother had a perforated bowel emergency and she could have one visitor per 24 hour period, for a max of three hours. Anyone who has been hospitalized or knows someone who had surgery knows how critical it is to have someone there to help with small things, like moving a pillow or getting water. She was miserable because no one was there to help or advocate for her when the doctor stopped in on his morning rounds.

We could have beaten back Covid. We have enough vaccines for everyone. The right is a murderous, destructive force.
