As opposed to people whose name is similar to a terrorist, or who are speaking in Arabic, or writing mathematical equations while brown, or any other well-known terroristic indicators. Fuck them.

Oh, me too. âWeeâ implying âsmall.â My interpretation of my grandmaâs phrase âwee tadâ was sort of âsmall, tiny bit,â but I was raised in the States and never heard proper Irish or Scots use the phrase, so

Yup. The impact on kids goes far beyond the medical. And the frank politicization of the pandemic has made it so much worse than it had to be. The consequences will reverberate for decades.

Along these same lines:
Peak hospitalization rates of children ages 0 to 4 years during the omicron wave were more than five times higher, with about 15.6 hospitalizations per 100,000 children, compared with deltaâs peak in that age group of 2.9 per 100,000. Additionally, omicron hospitalization rates among children ages 5 to 11 and adolescents 12 to 17 were both around double their peaks during delta.
No way to know how this will play out in long covid issues, but we will find out. Damn it, we will indeed.

â She only likes selling to regular customers. If you are new to her store, sheâll likely tell you to go away. One wonders how she acquired any regular customers, but she does have at least a few. You canât browse in her shop: she has a rope across the entryway and you have to tell her what you want. You can only ask for things she has, but you can never know what she has because youâre not allowed to see it. Itâs like some tortured logic puzzle. Iâve had many folks come into my shop down the block in tears because of the way sheâs treated them.
Her store continues to exist because her daughter owns the space. The building is a co-op, each storefront has a different landlord. My guess has always been that the daughter is a decent person and lets her mom have free rent just to keep her away, but releasing that toxic lady on the general public is a real disservice to Asheville (though, yes, the reviews are consistently hilarious).â

All true⌠although Iâm just assuming itâs true about the daughter owning the store⌠It is a popular part of town for tourists, so I canât imagine the location is cheap.

Really bad idea. And any increase you get in unvaccinated customers - youâll lose from vaxed customers who are less likely to venture out, staff that find work elsewhere etc.
Todayâs vax #âs:
âIn Philadelphia, 31% of residents 18 and over have gotten a booster shot, while 80% are fully vaccinated. Of residents 12 and over, 74% are fully vaccinated, while 90% have gotten at least one dose. Of Philly kids 5 to 11, at least 53% have one doseâ
Catering to the 20% that donât care about others safety just sucks generally. Letâs remove the requirement to have your car inspected because some people donât do it?
