In America now, we are very lucky indeed. We've had three different vaccinations (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson) available to all people 12 and over for enough time for everyone to be fully vaccinated and yet we're still hovering around 50% for our vaccination rate and now the Delta variant is really causing some breakthrough infections of those already vaccinated and, of course, killing many people who are not vaccinated. In the midst of this, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) decided to apply some sort of bizarre honor system where only people who were unvaccinated would have to be masked indoors, which absolutely doesn't work because the same people who are anti-mask are the same people who are anti-vax. And, for the spaces and places that would enforce the vaccination, there's a whole industry now of fake vaccination cards people can show so they can continue to risk their lives and others.
At the end of the day, the people in my country just don't realize how good they have it and fall prey to spoiled entitlement and/or conspiracy theories. The cognitive dissonance required to still believe Coronavirus is a hoax even after our previous president, (demon Trump) actually contracted it is baffling and completely illogical.
Meanwhile, our leaders continue to fail us, ignoring the new Delta strain's capabilities to be spread easier outdoors easier, to be spread even within a vaccinated population because of a viral load 1000x that of the original strain, and because it only takes a couple of minutes or less vs. 15 minutes of exposure. So while our hospitals are getting filled up here in this country yet again, we're still having stadiums filled to capacity and large music festivals.

So much potential and talent but squandered and wasted due to greed, hatred, selfishness, ignorance, and arrogance.

Benved växer ofta som en buske, men kan bli några meter hög och blir då närmast ett litet träd. Den växer i den smalstammiga undervegetationen i lövskogar och skogsbryn tillsammans med andra buskar.
Blommorna och bladen är oansenliga, men de rosenröda frukterna, som sitter kvar långt in på vintern, har gjort denna benved ganska vanlig som prydnadsväxt i trädgårdar och parker. Namnet "benved", som används även om andra småträd, till exempel skogsolvon (Viburnum opulus), skogstry (Lonicera xylosteum) och skogskornell (Cornus sanguinea), syftar på den gulaktiga, hårda och fina veden.
Prunus spinosa, slån, växer vild mest längs kusterna från Bohuslän till Uppland och på Öland och Gotland.
Den är en lövfällande buske med svartbruna, törnklädda kvistar, blir ca. 2-3 meter hög och bildar nästan ogenomträngliga snår, där många småfåglar och andra små djur kan finna en skyddad boplats. Det hävdas att många av dessa snår är mycket gamla, då de vuxit på samma plats i "evigheter" om marken på åtminstone ena sidan hållits öppen.
Slån blommar på bar kvist i maj och efter blomningen kommer de 2-4 cm långa, äggformade bladen med naggade kanter. På senhösten mognar de blåsvarta, ätliga bären, som kan användas till att göra saft, sylt, gelé och slånbärslikör.
I had occasion to pop into Chichester the other day and chanced upon an anti-vax mandate demonstration taking place in the city centre.

This is perhaps that last that remains of a series of DIY signs made and posted by a kid in the neighborhood. I saw someone furiously removing another one a couple blocks down in a fit of extreme perturbation. It was actually kinda hilarious. He was cussing at the sign. Triggered by a teenager.
Un piccolo infante spinto nella sua carrozzina. Sul viso i segni del morbillo in quanto, essendo no vax, non si è fatto vaccinare.
LE SIRENE SI SONO DATE UNA CALMATA.
Per il tema Macro Mondays di oggi pensavo ad un soggetto futile e non impegnativo ma il risultato migliore l'ho ottenuto con questa autoambulanza in miniatura ed il pensiero è corso immediatamente al ruolo fondamentale che questi mezzi di soccorso hanno svolto in tempo di pandemia.
Chi si scorderà mai delle continue sirene che ad ogni ora del giorno e della notte ci creava angoscia ed un senso di paura che prima o poi potesse correre anche per noi....
Se finalmente si può dire che l'emergenza è alle spalle il merito va sopratutto alla vaccinazione di massa che ci sta riportando ad una vita pressochè normale.

THE SIRENS HAVE CALMED.
For today's Macro Mondays theme I was thinking of a futile and undemanding subject but I got the best result with this miniature ambulance and the thought immediately ran to the fundamental role that these rescue vehicles have played in times of pandemic.
Who will ever forget the constant sirens that at any hour of the day and night created anguish and a sense of fear that sooner or later could run for us too ....
If we can finally say that the emergency is behind us, the credit goes above all to the mass vaccinations that are bringing us back to an almost normal life.

Woohoo! Today I got my second Covid vaccination.

I have heard they have run out of these cards at some vax locations. You can download and print one just in case. Not that a random piece of paper couldn't suffice. YMMV
Think somebody hacked the dentist sign at the end of my road.
Wish I could say this was the weirdest part of my run today.
Six blocks later, a young guy jumped in front of me and demanded my headphones and running shoes.
Threatened me with what appeared to be a sandwich.
I said, No.
Sheesh...

Pax Vax Mask & Patiently Waiting Line To LGA Taxi Line - IMRAN™
Life Is 3D. It’s experienced even better in person in 3D. We would all be back to relatively more normal times if some of our undereducated, science-denying, conspiracy-embracing Tom, Dick, and Harry countrymen (and their equivalent Karens) hadn’t prolonged it by refusing simple things to defeat the COVID19 pandemic.
New Yorkers are famous for being impatient, aggressive, fast paced, rule-defiers, always trying to outpace others and doing their own thing. But it was so wonderful to see how stoic and practical vast majority of the sensible residents, and visitors, to my American forever hometown New York City are in dealing with pandemic restrictions.
This was the pre-line (inside the LaGuardia Airport terminal I landed at) to get to the actual taxi line outside the glass doors. No drama. No arguments. No unmasked people. No pushing or shoving.
It was the same experience when I reached Manhattan, and at every restaurant we went. Everyond cheerfully pulled out their photo ID and certificate of being fully vaccinated, often had a temperature check, got in, and had a great time. Like normal times. In 3D. Come on folks, let’s get back to Life IN 3D because Life Is 3D™!

“Give people license to mistreat people while under the guise of being virtuous. And you have the recipe for Nazism, Stalinism and now medical tyranny.” It was blatantly wrong, but hey, they felt virtuous! What about the holocaust of the unborn—the genocide of those in the womb? If they commit these atrocities against their own offspring, what’s next? They dehumanize the unborn, like they did the Jews, and then kill them without conscience. Planned Parenthood was even busted for selling baby body parts! Now they are segregating the unvaxxed more and more. What will the end result be for them? No vax no job? No money for food or mortgage or rent? Homelessness? Then round up the useless eaters? Then kill them too?
“Throughout the 1930s, many Germans assisted the Nazi regime’s efforts to remove Jews from Germany’s political, social, economic, and cultural life.” Did the Holocaust happen in a day? No it did not! Indeed, segregation is a slippery slope, just as history has proven. Where will all this end? Will the unvaxxed be labelled as domestic terrorists and eventfully rounded up? Washington State Governor Jay Inslee likened the unvaxxed to domestic terrorists. They are using fear, hysteria, and propaganda to stir up the masses against a certain group of people. Let’s also add ignorance to the mix. Fear and ignorance, which overtake logic and reason, will in the end equal blindness and destruction.
Tribalism, group mind, mob mentality, herd mentality, mass psychosis, mass hysteria. Don’t think; Conform; follow the majority; follow the herd; follow the popular group; enjoy the virtues of persecuting those outside the group. Don’t you dare have a different opinion than the official narrative. Don’t you even dare question the narrative. Follow the pseudoscience without debate. Censor the other side of the debate even though real science is about debate. But who cares about debate or free speech, right? Who cares about democracy, right? Who cares about freedom, right? It’s not about a virus or science but the Great Reset—global fascism (Does the Book of Revelation ring a bell?).
The Bible tells us that a vast number of Christians will be beheaded in the Tribulation period (the Antichrist will also turn against the God fearing Jews). This is the sad truth: good people can quickly turn bad and end up on the wrong side of history. They don’t even see the consequences to their thoughts and actions, and so they just keep justifying them all the way to the end. Willful ignorance is bliss!
Jeremiah 17:9-10 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, and reward each person according to their deeds, according to what their actions deserve.”
Now if you do not understand that Auschwitz did not begin with Auschwitz or that the Holocaust did not start with the Holocaust, then watch Holocaust survivor Vera Sherav (founder and president of the Alliance for Human Research Protection) compare covid-19 measures to 1930s Germany. If we don’t wake up, another holocaust may be coming down the pike!
Vera Sherav: And I, absolutely as a survivor, I am very troubled by those who are the self anointed, you know, gatekeepers of what you are allowed and not allowed to say about the Holocaust.
