It is playing "musical chairs" with 16 beds, instead of 10, and it is NOT a perfect solution, but at least they are frickin' THINKING and TRYING!
Meanwhile the party animals were at it again yesterday, no less than 25 idiots getting drunk, sharing food...if this virus is so contagious how is it possible after more than 18 months of this behavior only 2 have tested positive, with zero symptoms, and they all laughed about it, even posting comments on Facebook. There is a core of these morons who almost always are there and another 25-30 others who show up now and then. A handful of them have admitted to being vaxxed, recently, only because their jobs depended on it. But for months prior they too, unvaxxed, were part of the partiers.
I honestly don't get it. Yes, this is a group of about 50 but their behavior has not only been "less than desirable" it has been wreckless! About 17% of Louisianians have tested positive, and that is just those who got tested. I am sure many, many more are/have been positive but never got tested. I have seen these folks out in public, interacting with others, hugs & kisses, no masks, no precautions at all. No social distancing for sure!
As a student of REAL science, I know observation is a legit method to gather data/information. I hear the militant "wear your mask, murderers!" types who are afraid of their own shadow...unless it is masked too. I read articles about vax vs. unvaxxed, the effectiveness of masks (or not), and then I observe this bunch. Hmmm, statistically, several of this "group of 50+" should have died from the China Virus and many more been hospitalized. Yet...nothing.
