    1. @Calvin Abbott but who will hold their hand on the way back. Obviously got lost coming, probably get lost going too…

  2. This is what happens when you slow down the natural process of infection with lockdowns. When you open back up. Eveyone gets all the variants in a short period of time instead of about one or two illnesses per year. Thats why we have respiritory illness in the summer this year. Just mother nature catching up.

    1. @Paul I’m sure there is plenty of things we haven’t heard about the parents should be held accountable fully for endangering their children’s well being

  3. Population growth who would have thought… Population gets bigger no new hospitals and current ones fill up faster.. Who knew ?

  4. My kids have been almost constantly sick since goimg back to school…brcause theyve kept them out and lockdown for 2 years… Let them all get sick get stronger and move on
