Yes, thank you.? The news stories and broadcasts from journalists on the ground are absolutely devastating.? The HCQ disinformation campaign did India no favors.? Modi and Trump and Bolsonaro should be strung up by their toes.?? --

Then again why would you since as a conspiritualist you have access to some superior, secret, mystical knowledge that we lost souls don't? Your response is a just a confirmation that you are indeed a conspiritualist. I'm glad you are not QAnon, Alt-right or Nazi Hippie!!
I personally think the "Nazi Hippie" is a moment-of-genius descriptor.

Read the article, you might learn something. I can tell you didn't look at it. You simply whipped off your inane reply to Ravi's brilliant post without any self reflection or meaningful attempt at engaging on this, admittedly, fascinating topic.

Uncle Baron - I don't know why you are referring to the Atlantic article, the article discusses differences of opinions among liberals on?public restrictions such as??ocial distancing, outdoor/indoor masking, school re-openings, how best to re-open the economy in a safe manner etc - that's all healthy discussion
?
?
But the people mentioned in there aren't some gullible or delusional vaccine deniers, so not sure how they are anything like you or why you would use that article to compare yourself to them or promote yourself???

I started to watch it and knew it was going to be too much. I find it fascinating that you somehow know me so well! However, just because I am very sensitive to witnessing suffering I am not without awareness of it. Those who are attending to the desperate people who are ill and scared and unable to breath have my highest regard. How much terror there is right now.?

I am well aware of where Ravi lives. I am also well aware of where his family lives. You don't know "better" anything.

Thank you Ann, Emily & Sal!

My family in India - luckily - is doing fine. I'm most concerned about my mom who's 73 and she's been fully vaccinated a few weeks back. She only had a few mild symptoms after each of the doses and she's been mostly home since last year, other than family gatherings with masked and her siblings who are also vaccinated and staying safe.
?
I have just heard of my sister-in-law's (brother's wife) losing a family member who was 37. Apparently a result of a heart attack from a clot after being discharged, he should have been apparently prescribed blood thinners as one of the medicine used for recovery is known to cause clots (based on what my brother told me). Also heard that my cousin's husband is sick, but recovering at home
?
Talking to friends from my college days here in US and family members everyone at this point knows someone who's gotten really, in ICU and/or lost a family member. It's been horrible, whatever you are hearing on the news is painfully true. The most common stories I have heard is people panic-stricken trying to find ICU beds.
?
India with it's structural problems with healthcare cannot handle this. Most of the top hospitals are all for-profit entities, coupled with the absence of health insurance is only for the privileged. You would need at least thousands of dollars to get quality access to healthcare. The poor, lower middle class are dying in droves and not even being recorded as COVID related.
?
It is horrible how the government and Modi completely disregarded Science and declared premature victory over the virus for political purposes and to maintain his aura among the deluded masses.
?
Also concerned that the variants have already made it here - I'm hoping for the best. What I'm hearing is that we should be protected against the UK & Indian variants if we are fully vaccinated.
?

i am relieved your immediate family is doing well. What a catastrophe. Thank you for letting us know. I had been thinking of you and of them, knowing your loved ones were in the thick of it.?

Thank you Grandpa Xeno! Yes I keep checking with mom and emphasizing. It's hard but she's aware. There's so much activity and drama in India, she's dependent on others. She has a lady that lives with her, she has few other domestic help that are in and out and, she has a car but would need a driver. And then relatives who may not be as careful as her. So she has to be really careful unlike us.
The new strains are highly virulent and highly transmissible with shorter incubation and apparently rapid progression causing patient to need oxygen and ending up in ICU. This is what I'm hearing from folks that I know as well.?
"The Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) (in India) has discovered N440K variant supposedly ?15 times more virulent than the earlier ones, and may be even stronger than the Indian variants of B1.617 and B1.618"

I think they have him convinced he’s still playing “President” and that someone out there actually cares.

From the keyboard of Donald J. Trump:
The Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!
Heartwarming to read new polls on big-shot warmonger Liz Cheney of the great State of Wyoming. She is so low that her only chance would be if vast numbers of people run against her which, hopefully, won’t happen. They never liked her much, but I say she’ll never run in a Wyoming election again.
So nice to see RINO Mitt Romney booed off the stage at the Utah Republican State Convention. They are among the earliest to have figured this guy out, a stone cold loser!
