A couple of items from the local commie rag, The Stranger:

I don't watch the news but my mom says this latest "fourth wave" is being blamed on "underserved communities in the Central District" (black folks) whose vaccination rates are much lower than the general population. I am not so sure; the eastern half of the county is also unlikely to be vaxxed for political reasons -- that is Trump country. Mom wonders, with all the fresh virtue of the fully vaxxed, why any of this is her problem.
Meanwhile all the privileged urban commies, whose vaxx rates must be close to 90% in order to offset the rest of the county, are welcomed into the orgiastic bliss of the blessed.

In Right Wing Watch, my folks' Trumpy neighbor with the Don't-Tread-On-Me has taken in the American flag (last week it was upside-down) and now only flies the snake.
