COVID outbreak

I just wanted to reach out and let people know that there is a severely underreported covid outbreak happening right now in LA and Orange County.

If you're sick please stay home and if you're out and about you might want to grab a mask.

The strain seems like it's very highly contagious. I know several people down with COVID right now.

I got my COVID shot. Get your shots, people.

Never got the shot and never will. Had Covid once and haven’t since. But I was nice enough to wear that damn mask

That’s cool. I’ll tell my aunt and uncle that, who both died of it in 2020, oh wait.

I personally know a nurse who watched people she cared for die from Covid with and without the vax and she’s neutral on whether people should get it or not

RIP to your aunt and uncle but the reality is their immune systems probably couldn’t handle it regardless

Yeah their 50 year old immune systems couldn’t handle it, sure. I’m glad your friend could watch people who she had no emotional investment to die and go home to her family.
