A heat-related highly stressed human (or any animal) is more prone to heart attack, heat stroke, muscle cramps, and respiratory infections.
........Basically, the HEAT has driven people indoors and COVID hospitalizations are up approximately 20% in Florida.

By that reasoning the creation of the universe caused global warming (and cooling)

On the way there I got a call from villages healthcare that before i come into the building I had to tak a covid test . It was negative but they did say they had a spike of covid cases that resulted in lost of employees with covid.

It’s definitely making a resurgence, I know a couple people who recently got infected and just learned that the Red Sox had to put a player on the Covid list. We are keeping an eye out for when the new vaccine will be available that includes the newer omicron sub-variants.

We've had a few folks in a club I'm in here in the Villages who've been sick with COVID within the past month. One had to be hospitalized for a couple of days as a precaution but they're out now and slowly recovering. The others seem to have had some moderate symptoms and have already recovered.

I'll wear a mask if the CDC and my health insurance company and doctor recommends it, whether the state requires it or not. I don't give a flying fert what the state has to say about it. I care about MY health, and the health of my friends and family. The state can jump off a cliff for all I care. I have left over masks, and I'm happy to use them if it's recommended, or if any stores I shop at require them.

Unlike some people, I'm not afraid to wear a mask, I don't fear the loss of freedom and in fact I celebrate my freedom to do as I darned well please. Including - wearing a mask.

The newest version of Covid is less lethal than the common cold, so what does it matter?

Where did you get that information from? (I didn't realize the common cold was lethal at all)

For some it is less lethal than the common cold. Hospitals once again are seeing a surge in Covid patients. If someone needs to be hospitalized they are experiencing severe effects.

As opposed to just checking in for a little R&R.

No one is "afraid" to wear a mask...

Any upper respiratory infection can be lethal the the right (or wrong) person...

States Ranked by Age-Adjusted COVID Deaths

And you believe those numbers? If someone went in for a broken arm, they coded it Covid! All numbers were hyper inflated. Don’t believe a word…..sheeple.

My mother passed from Supranuclear palsy which is a rare degenerative neurological condition that caused issues with her balance, vision, speech and swallowing. Eventually leaving her bed ridden and her body shuting down. It was a matter of time but low and behold what was the cause when she passed in October 2020, surpise COVID.
