Forget It....

This morning President Biden came on TV to talk about the surging Omicron virus and the government's efforts to "stop" this. Military personnel are being sent to support hospitals in states where they are over-crowded and health care professionals are exhausted. Self tests and masks are being distributed all over the country in the next few weeks. Of course one "argument" is that this all should have been done sooner....and I don't disagree.

But the one fact that Biden kept stressing was that if people would get vaccinated and wear masks we could get our country over the hump sooner, and maybe back to normal. These steps would help stop the spread, keep people out of the hospitals and cut the death rate.

And as he spoke I thought to myself "Sadly this is a waste of time." The facts will convince no one who believes he is an illegitimate President or that vaccines are untested and unsafe and that the government is taking away their personal liberties.

Never mind that this is a public health crisis.....the refrain "you can't make me" will continue to ring across the United States.

Am I sick of wearing a mask? Yes. Do I wish things could be normal and I could easily be with friends and family to do the kinds of things we've always enjoyed? Yes. Do I see "normal" coming back anytime soon? No.

Convince the anti-vaxxers??? Forget about it. 

Sigh......
