Earlier, I posted about maskless Santa visits to NICUs during this #COVID19 surge. Some rough estimates:

1,400 NICU units in the US
1 in 35 people are infectious today
Half are asymptomatic
1 in 70 Santas will be asymptomatic but infectious
20 NICU units will be visited by a maskless infectious Santa
Each NICU has an average of 17 beds with high-risk, unvaccinated infants
1-2 kids in each NICU with an infectious Santa will get seriously ill due to that visit
17 to 34 needless serious outcomes

Now, life is cheap. There is danger everywhere. What comes after a dystopia? These are babies. They're gonna cheerfully damage/kill infants. 😡 Ye gods. There aren't enough tears in the world.💔

@augieray Thanks to anti-vaxers and free riders, I just finished 6 months of cancer treatment while hiding out at home, because chemo compromises one's immune system. Even when I went to the Mayo Clinic for treatment, I masked up. In every waiting room there were a few selfish jerks hacking up a lung without even covering their mouths, which is extremely rude as well as dangerous. They could have killed me, & God knows how many others. The Mayo asks patients & guests not to do this.
