Experts warned that holiday travel and gatherings could help fuel another surge of COVID-19 infections. Yet millions of Americans traveled anyway -- with more than 1.3 million people, a pandemic record -- screened by the TSA on Sunday alone.(CNN)
"We are heading into what we anticipate as a surge on top of a surge," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a Monday news conference. "It's going to put a lot of pressure on hospitals, and I see it coming out of the holidays." (CNN)
"It is clear that the increase through the holidays, increased the infection rate and increased the number of people who are now walking into hospitals," Governor Cuomo said. (CNN)
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said the state had "more patients with Covid in ICU beds at the end of last week than we have had at any other period throughout this pandemic." And he expects "some very large numbers with the spread from the holiday gatherings combined with the backlog and testing and reporting that may have occurred during the last 10 days." (CNN)
HONESTLY, and it IS with no sense of shame, JUST disgust, that I write this: before anyone is admitted to the hospital for COVID related issues, the first question asked should be: were you a douchebag, a selfish, insipid, douchebag, a small-minded, ignoramus Trump-supporting MAGA moron douchebag, a fuck off everyone else, I AM MORE IMPORTANT than you or your life douchebag, the kind of douchebag who swore one or ALL kinds of freedom of yours were being taken away from you, JUST because all you are is a spoiled ugly American, privileged in your own realm of reality which is similar to the Twilight Zone environment in which Trump lives? If you fit into any of those categories, and most likely a multiple of hundred more anti-social cave-dwelling categories, JUST GO OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE AND SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES YOU CREATED. After all DOUCHEBAG, your entitlement to screw the rest of us, NOW should be rewarded with pain and suffering established by YOUR OWN self-inflicted cruelty, and the lesson that you are a fucking DOUCHEBAG! Oh yeah maybe ask Trump for some of that bleach and inject it!
