I gave up trying to convince anyone of anything regarding COVID-19. Maybe you'll have better luck, but the media is so starkly divided that there doesn't seem to be much hope.
I'm sorry to hear about your mother, I hope she can be made as comfortable as possible.

She has the best person she could ever have there with her. I'm probably driving back down there in a few weeks to help. Got a friend that I can stay with. My brother is a fucking trip. He pretty much told me he wants to go to alaska and die in his RV out in the wild. He's a selfish prick and gives no thought to what his family or friends might think or feel about his actions. I know I can't make him take the vax and it is a choice and should be, but what if he gives it to mom? He wants to visit his daughter and new baby too while there, he's being very unreasonable. I know he's read something and/or talked to someone he believes and decided not to get it it out of fear. I just need something solid to point hi to make him think about it more.

Sounds like you need to be thinking about ways to get your brother to consider getting some mental health care.

I know! He's been this way his whole life. He almost died a few years ago because he wouldn't go to a doctor to get just a check up. He'd say "I know my body and how I feel" and I'd offer to take his BP and he'd say shit like "I got my own internal BP monitor, don't need to". So 30 years of no doc and he all of a sudden he starts peeing a lot and nearly passing out. They carry him to the car to go to the ER and he was maybe days or hours from death due to type 2 diabetes complications unchecked and not taken care of (our dad died from diabetes long ago and he still refused to go to a doc). Now he flat out refuses "to be a sheep, and follow the herd" and says "I don't know what's in it" etc...I'm pretty sure his hard head dumbass will never get it but I need to show him something he might have an interest in at least.

Honestly? No, you don't. You're not under any obligation or have any responsibility to try to convince him. He sounds like he does not value logic or reason, and there is simply nothing you can do with people like that.

My parents both have vaccine dates in the next couple weeks, that’s definitely a huge relief. My mother was battling a host of other sudden health issues last year and was on chemo for 4 months so that was an unreal amount of stress for them avoiding any exposure, so glad we’ll be past that soon.
My cousin who’s a ‘covid long hauler” since her infection a year ago and went back to the hospital last week got admitted again today. They still can’t figure out what’s wrong, her lungs have been having issues ever since and she’s now been having all sorts of vertigo and nausea for weeks, she had to have someone help her the last couple days just to feed and take care of her dog. My guess is some autoimmune issue got triggered by her initial infection, the hospital she’s at now is one of the top covid hospitals in the country with research and treatment so hopefully they can figure things out.
I’m starting full time at the COVID rehab next week. The numbers are way down here but the people needing inpatient rehab really isn’t dropping off. It’s not just old people either at all. Idk how people are still struggling to understand how nasty the virus really is, IMO it’s been a huge failure by our government’s public health agencies in spreading information about all the consequences other than just the death toll number.
I see restaurants around here with 150+ people eating indoors and all I can think is someone there very well may die and others will eventually be staying at my hospital for a month... all so they can go have someone feed them chicken parm or whatever. Why not just wait another month or two until you’re vaccinated? I think restaurant staff are eligible now in my state though which is good to hear.

I decided to register for a vaccine using high blood pressure as a comorbidity despite never having an official diagnosis. Last time I went to the doctor it was 130/95. If I hadn’t been there to treat pink eye they probably would have said something about it.

Crowds were out in force today. Every restaurant has a line out the door. At least everyone is wearing masks. Windy day so outdoors stuff is practically risk free but the restaurant crowds were a little disconcerting.

Just read that cases in nursing homes are now down 98% from December. Deaths down 90%. This is going to be an interesting dynamic as a larger and larger proportion of those being hospitalized will be people under 50 and antivaxxers. Probably by the middle of the summer the only people who will be dying will be people who have refused to get vaccinated. Essentially one slow moving mass suicide event.

I’ve heard stories of people in the rehab hospital being taught how to feed themselves again and doing hours of therapy a day to gain enough strength to sit up on their own and pick up a plastic spoon after weeks of being on a ventilator, who are still denying that they had covid and blaming it on something else
So many people are just way too far gone mentally, they’re the reason this shit will stay around forever.

We can be moral all we want but its not moral to hunt them down in landrovers with vaccination guns like its jurassic park so, ultimately its their choice to get a needle up their shoulder or a tube up their windpipe, crudely put.
What I find alarming is that people in my environment have stopped listening to my advice regarding COVID and substitute it with some doodoocaca by paranoid bloggers, as if there is no difference between shit and shinola.
If friends stop listening to the scientific point of view of informed friends, in favor of some conspiracy doodoocaca, well fuck.
Just don't visit ME if you have any sort of symptoms.
Makes you want to beat the crap out of them with my covid-deceased aunt's breathing tube.
And now they come with Vit D.
I was all about Vit D a year ago goddammit when you insisted it was "just a flu" 
These are intelligent people gripped by the mass hypnosis of dumbfuckery.
Only yesterday, girl goes "well where's the flu?" Well fuck. There IS NO FLU because WE ARE IN A LOCKDOWN. That actually is an ACHIEVEMENT of the covid measures, not proof that people are having the flu.

Looks like we are on the verge of another wave driven by the unvaccinated 🤦♂️
https://wwmt.com/news/local/younger-unvaccinated-adults-drive-surge-of-covid-19-hospitalizations-in-michigan
Quote:
While hospitalizations increased 37% for people age 80 and older during that period, among people 30-39 hospitalizations increased 633% and among people 40-49 they jumped 800%.
State data shows 45.3% of people 75 and older in Michigan were fully vaccinated, as of March 25. Just 10.7% of people 30-39 are fully vaccinated while 12.3% of people 40-49 had completed their immunization.
"What we’ve seen so far in the Bronson system, no one that we think has been fully immunized has been admitted for COVID-pneumonia and no one has died,” Dr. Richard Van Enk, Bronson Healthcare Group director of infection prevention, said. “The real value of immunization is in reducing hospitalizations and deaths.”
The cost of vaccine hesitancy is too high. This country is going to have to get serious about getting vaccines into everyone. Your individual freedom to get covid stops at your front door.

My wife's family all live in Brazil and it sucks there. The government is giving out very little, if any, monetary help, and I read in an NPR comment section that everyone is bitching about how the "dumb Brazilians refuse to close businesses".
Y'all the dumb motherfuckers, they are literally just trying to eat. Inflation started fucking everyone there a few years ago, now they are totally fucked. The majority of Brazilians in my wife's town don't have heat or air conditioning, and everyone here is talking shit about them. Are there a bunch of dumb fucks there? Absolutely. But mostly they are bunch of desperate people who can't afford to close up shop, no matter what.

Now that I’m trying to get a vaccine, I’m realizing how fucking stupid this system is. You sign up with the state. You sign up with county. You sign up at walgreen. You sign up at cvs. You sign up at the grocery store.
Gotta love the efficiency of a for profit healthcare system
Ugh. Walgreens said they had appointments available so I created an account and signed up.

I had a really sore arm, low grade fever and chills for 3 days or so, but nothing else. Did you get the Moderna or the Pfizer?
