Sad outcome due to hospitals overcrowded with COVID patients
The doctor I went to recently told me of a patient she had come in that seemed very sad. She asked her if anything was wrong, and she told the doctor that her husband and just died. He felt bad one day and worse the next, so she called 911 to have him taken to the hospital. The ambulance took him to several hospitals in the Atlanta area -- I think it was 9 -- but was turned away because the beds were all taken, mostly by COVID-19 patients. Her husband died of a heart attack in the ambulance before finding a hospital that could take him.
That death was directly the result of COVID-19. Should it be counted as a COVID-19 death?
Don’t be stupid! Don’t be selfish! Get vaccinated!

Fossil fuels still best solution for energy needs
What a joke Al Gore is. In 2006, he said we had 10 years to save the planet. Funny, we’re still here.
Here’s the same subject but a different point. Electric cars sound great to reduce dependence on fossil fuels until one realizes that the electricity to drive the car is derived from what? From power plants using fossil fuel. Electric vehicles do reduce emissions in congested cities. They move the source to the power plants. Regarding solar-derived energy: I believe it is great, and all homes should have panels on their roofs. However, there are simply not enough other areas available for total dependence. Wind power is good if the huge structures are located at AOC’s and other climate extremists’ homes. Of course, they won’t be. LOL. But until the cost (and reliability on cloudy days) is fully addressed, fossil fuels are the only near-term solution. Nuclear is the only long-term solution currently available for our energy needs, but is ignored.
