Because they were making a figure of speech for the visual effect it creates.
Oh, OK.

80 percent or so more cases but 70 percent less deaths.

77 days until the U.S. GP at COTA. My son, a buddy, and I have tickets. Going to an F1 race is a bucket list item for all of us. So, come on America, even it you don't care about your own long term survival - don't fuck this up for me.

A super spreader event for sure but if you and a few hundred others feel like burning stores down in your neighborhood it's just fine.

Had a girl tell me all the COVID patients she's been seeing in the ICU have been those who did get the vaccine.

Seems to contradict the majority of data and providers saying the vast majority of those hospitalized/icu are unvaccinated.

Leading Israeli Health Official: Vaccinated Account For 95% of Severe and 85-90% of New Covid Hospitalizations; Vaccine Effectiveness is “Really Fading”

Even though 85% of those eligible are fully vaccinated. Time to take another look at hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.

IMO, this is pre-season training for the next lockdown to justify online voting like California just announced but will leave the politics aside.
