This is more problematic than it first appears. My mother cannot have the flu vaccine which comes out every year as she once had a very bad reaction to it and it could kill her. Whether this has any bearing on her having the anti-Covid vaccine remains to be seen. So we wait and see Cancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if this is common in other states, but it wouldn't surprise me. Then again, we have an especially law-averse landlord population here as a result of the illegal vacation rental problem.

It's sort of mind-boggling that we're on track for maybe passing WW2 in total US deaths by Inauguration Day(also the anniversary of the discovery of the first case here), and a significant chunk of the population still believes it's an overblown hoax.

Already passed the raw total per year. World War II 1941–1945 1,076,245 1m/4yrs = ~250k/yr. US deaths coronavirus: 286k+/yr* (and counting) *year... since Jan, or March? I'd do March, if we are doing a war comparison. Which is relevant for the next bit: The rate of population still has some time to get there. Which who knows what this next month will do. https://www.google.com/search?q=us+population+1941 133 million in 1941 328 million in 2019 ratio of 2.46616541353 250k/yr*2.46=615k/yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
