    Latest casualty: spectators at Tokyo Olympics.
    I have a hunch we are about 48 hours from the Tokyo games themselves being a casualty.

          Roll that in with a conspiracy about the 'real' reason why Sha'Carri Richardson was banned from the Olympics and I'm in!

            I really really hope not and if I’m betting man I’d say they will still be held mainly because the financial loss from not holding them is just too big. But then again, with Covid you never know how things will be handled. At this point, if they are not held, it’ll be at the fault of Japan. They’ve had a long time to figure out the logistics and get their population vaccinated and they haven’t done it.

              I love the Trumpworld logic of how he deserves the credit for getting out the vaccine and poor him that not enough are praising him for it, while at the same time it's probably a dangerous vaccine and how horrible that the dems are pressuring people to get it. That dissonance only makes sense in a Trump cultist brain.

                I've noticed that some of these Asian countries that did such a good job testing and staving off major outbreaks (Japan, Thailand) have done an absolute shit job vaccinating. I know Thailand is developing its own proprietary vaccine that won't be ready for primetime for the general population until December-- no idea why aren't acquiring vaccines from the U.S. or other places.

                I have a good friend that lives and works in Thailand and is absolutely desperate to get vaccinated. If he and his wife get covid in Thailand, his whole building would get shut down, they would be forced into quarantine, and his kids would be in the care of the beneficent Thai government. His employer forbids him from air travel right now or he'd go rogue and come get one stateside. It's honestly complete bullshit that the Department of State doesn't offer a vaccine for U.S. citizens at the consular office there in Bangkok. What the everloving f*k is he still paying U.S. taxes for every year? Keeping the snow plows gassed up in Idaho?

                  Trump deserves a kick in the ass for all the help he was-- dividing his cult against the rest of the critically thinking population, getting people gassed up about 'reopening' America by Easter 2020. What a joke. He's even doubling down on hydroxychloroquine. I'm fucking mad that I even know that word. Can that asshole die already? Hasn't he done enough damage?

                          So L. A. County is now requiring masks indoors for everyone even if you are vaccinated. Even though they admit that if vaccinated there is little to no danger to you or others. I seriously fucking hate these anti science fuck wads that refuse to get a free vaccine. I seriously want to get in a violent altercation with them. Its like hate I have never felt in my entire life.

                          I can't respect their decision and I can't be friendly, let alone be friends with them.

                                Saw an interview with utah gov spencer cox a week or two ago. Given the recent uptick he was asked in utah would consider reinstating restrictions like masks. He said some thing to the effect of: "No way. We have a very simple and effective solution. Go get vaccinated."
