Actually, I've been using precautions because I have big plans for next week and I don't want to get sick beforehand, but yes it's obvious I'm the only one wearing them in most stores I go into.

4. The first person in Austin to die of Covid...

was a member of my bridge club.

It was so sad. She was already health compromised,
and needed portable oxygen to breathe... and the
doctor warned her to keep away from public events.

Then she went to a concert... and the rest is history.

have died from covid early on in the pandemic and one coworker that died a cpl weeks ago, he went in the hospital for covid and never recovered.
They were all trump people that refused the vaccines and no mask.
Trump should be sued for the deaths of millions.
I still have family members that refuse to get vaccinated.

10. It is all a nightmare

Just three years ago and it seems like 10 from all that has happened. The world has changed forever. I will never forgive the murder of my father by covid and other negligences. My world has been destroyed. All ushered in with fascism in 2016. Ty non voters and everyone who wouldn't vote hrc.

The death toll is much higher. More like 2 mil I would guess. A lot of people were not tested early on, tests were bad, many aren't testing now. Many died after initially surviving and having severe damage like my father. Their deaths aren’t counted which is a crock. Many died at home with symptoms like cardio, stroke and blood clot events which covid causes and weren’t counted.

I remember all of the lies and negligence surrounding covid. I remember bodies piling up in freezers and mass burials. I remember the lies and crap about washing your hands and masks won’t protect you. I remember young healthy people being eligible for vax before my father. I remember 30% of hospital workers in our county refusing the vax and not being fired. I remember the criminal in office who is still walking free uncharged, lying, concealing, harming states who didn't support him, selling respirators to other countries for a profit. I remember how my father was tortured and how I was told don’t come back to the field hospital unless you’re almost dead. I remember being isolated in my room wondering if I would die or be one of the lucky ones. I remember feeling like I had a tight rubber band around my chest and I was in so much pain and having to beg for pk. I remember getting no treatment specifically for Covid except what I gave myself. I remember the same for my father in the hospital months later.

Where is the accountability?

F u to hell USA.
