    That's scary. My brother's father-in-law is a good guy whom I have good conversations with every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    My sister-in-law's grandmother died last February. Nobody said why but I suspect it was from Captain Trumps.

    Thanks for the kind words y'all. My brother is pretty angry and sad about the whole deal because ...

    His in-laws decided to take a road trip to Mount Rushmore two weeks ago. Hey, they're fully vaxxed ... it'll be fine.
    But once they got to their hotel up there, they stuck around even after they overheard the manager telling the front desk folks to start canceling reservations because so many hotel employees were out sick they couldn't keep it running.
    They started feeling sick and cut the trip short. They got tested and were positive. My brother told them to go to their primary care physicians and get the monoclonal antibodies. They both refused.
    Then his mother-in-law spiked a 103 fever on Saturday night, went to the ER, got the monoclonal antibodies and was home by Sunday afternoon. My brother again told his FIL to get them, he called his doctor - an old timer in his late 60s or so - who said those were only for people who haven't been vaccinated that they he'd be fine. That was Tuesday.
    Wednesday night, he started developing a cough. Thursday, he collapsed. They revived him with CPR twice, got him to ICU and on a vent. He coded a few more times. The doctors called my sister-in-law every 30 minutes with updates. She and her mom finally decided to take him off life support around 2 am.
    A nurse held a phone up to his ear so they could say goodbye. This stranger held his hand until his heart stopped beating and then quietly told them he was gone.
    So now my nieces and nephew have lost one of the grandpas. A wife has lost her husband of ... I think nearly 40 years. My sister-in-law has lost her daddy. My brother has lost a fishing buddy.

    So, anyway, tell your people you love them.

    It really is scary how these breakthrough viruses keep happening, after people have been vaccinated, and once they feel like they've done the right things, and done what they can do, unlike those who haven't done so, and continue to go on making problems and causing trouble.

    Unfortunately, it gives those who haven't gotten their shots more ammunition. Like, see, it doesn't work anyway.
