If that's the way the R's want to change their voting numbers, I suppose it's the way we go.

Not in close swing states. Nationwide, sure. But states like Florida where the margin of victory is pretty tight on a state wide vote- 10k losses there do make a big difference.

FL is a bad example, because the GOP will simply continue to cheat more outrageously to hold it (cf. OH, WI). But I can see PA, NC, NV, AZ being affected by DerpDeaths.
Darwin rocks.

This brings in another layer.
Many of us that vote D that are currently 28-40 have actively made the choice to NOT have kids. This is while many families in the same age range with 2+ kids are strong R voters.

Sigh....
So a cruise channel I watch posted a video about an outbreak on a ship. And the excuses are out- this is now normal, we need to live with this, it's government control- resist, etc.
Since the testing is only finding it in crew, thankfully, they are all vaccinated. But ships are now allowing unvaccinated on board, and there is no testing. So there's a 100% chance that a passenger brought it on board and then spread it around the crew.
It's interesting that people continue to deny how bad COVID still is, being the 5th (currently) leading cause of death in the US. And the total lack of compassion for those who have gotten sick and die, to the point that people are STILL actively fighting properly dealing with this.... The real irony of the government control conspiracy is that it's the r's that desire to have more control over people- killing people they think are bad (either by cops or penalties), and controlling women pretending that life is the most important thing. I really don't get people.
At some point, someone who is unvaccinated will go on a ship get sick and die. It's going to happen- just the odds of who is going on and the lack of protections.
But we've gotten through it, and it's highly unlikely that we will get sick on our next cruise given the timing. If someone wants to risk their lives, I can't stop them. Sure sucks for the people who have to take care of them.

If I'm not mistaken, Covid remains the leading cause of death among the unvaccinated.
There's some truth to the "we need to learn to live with this". It's a ridiculous pill to have to swallow, but it is. Omicron Covid is as infectious as any disease we've ever discovered and, as with most other coronaviruses, it seems that the circulating neutralizing antibodies simply don't last long enough to be prophylactic for more than a handful of months. So yeah, we're all going to catch it at some point. Hopefully our acquired immunity fully renders it just another cold at some point, but until that time happens (if it happens), we're just going to have to deal with this.
This isn't a uniquely American problem, even if our "leader" at the start was aggressively stupid about it and absolutely encouraged other world leaders to do the same.

Other than those who have pre-existing conditions, or other health issues that would increase their risk of having a not-good outcome should they get Covid, I'm one of those who have no sympathy for those who get sick and die from it.
They know how to lessen their risk, increase their chance of it being nothing more than a bad cold. They choose not to. Oh well, tough shit. Sucks to be you. Hope those you left behind are happy.

I just got off a Disney Cruise to Bermuda. Bermuda was still making everyone get a test within 2 days of boarding, I believe they gave that up as of Monday. We got boosted a month before getting on board. What cruise line?

Royal Caribbean- explorer of the seas out of Florida. The crew gets tested pretty often, but passengers will not divulge if they get sick, as they get to stay in their cabin.
This will happen again, and it will certainly will result in someone so sick, the ship can’t deal with it.
Oh, well, we will have fun and not care about others, since that is what they want.
Canada also removed restrictions, so it’s all up to the passengers.

Disney requires vaccine or testing before you can cruise at this point. Not sure what other cruise lines are doing.

Pretty much all cruises have opened up to all, and the unvaccinated just need to do a self test- which means it's not really a test.
