At this point if you are expecting and you want your child and yourself to live, you're going to have to lock yourself up with all of the restrictions going away. People do not understand that by removing the restrictions that they are saying that it is ok if certain people die. The only shinning light in this is that at least a lot of the people now kicking the bucket are the anti maskers and anti-vaxxers. It's said that humans have come to a point where we would through our most vulnerable under the bus just so we can have perceived freedom while taking away the right to life for others. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/coronavirus/though-rare-covid-19-can-destroy-the-placenta-and-lead-to-stillbirths/2866557/?fbclid=IwAR0HHiHCeHrNiz_dvCbw-dbWhUOAwJmCdp82NuWVztc8I090u6GqFhuN1kM

2/17/22: "COVID Won't End Up Like the Flu. It Will Be Like Smoking"- This article says the same thing I have been trying to say. Using smoking is a great example. I don't know how many times I have walked by someone and started coughing because I was forced to inhale smoke that they had just polluted the air with. It's those same type of people that not only don't care about their own health, but they also do not care about the health of those around them. Smoke could cause someone to have an asthma attack and die. They don't care. Our society will always have people like this, and it will be society that must hold them accountable and push them off to the side. Companies should have the right not to hire you based on your vaccination status (or if you support masks), insurance companies should have the right not only to hike up your rates, but to deny you coverage. Once again I will say that this is for everyone that chooses not to be vaccinated and should not apply to those that really can't be vaccinated due to medical reasons. Those people do not have a choice and should not be punished. Everyone else is fair game to be punished in any way that society can. can. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2022/02/covid-anti-vaccine-smoking/622819/?fbclid=IwAR3Dx5GilD2KonZdIAk44Hv5dcIb6th4p0ul6dkB_JAabV0mgJXAdvW0cO4 "Runner, 29, with Long COVID Went from Half Marathons to Months in a Wheelchair: 'It Was So Scary'" - Stories like this continues to show that COVID will not just be a Flu.

Global Perspectives
Even though the US is seeing some reductions and removing restrictions the rest of the world is not experiencing the same and their are high chances of more variants popping up. Even if people don't want to acknowledge that we are a global population, we are. COVID has plenty of chances to loop around. So moving forward I will be making a special section to house COVID from other countries in my news posts.
2/9/22: "In South Korea and other Asian countries, a surge follows Lunar New Year"- This one shows that when we let our guard down it will hit us again because we really do not have it under control. America has several holidays and events coming up that could create a new surge if people to not continue to be careful. These include the Super Bowl (where huge parties are going to happen), Saint P. Day, and Easter. All three of these could lead to a spring surge of cases. https://kj97.iheart.com/content/2022-02-09-dolly-partons-dollywood-resort-to-pay-tuition-for-all-employees/?fbclid=IwAR3uk-49MkVluUY2TXm4UbOC6_kCnbpZXrqerZZg0RsKvjbTwMYcfEjwzzo
