Nursing Home Residents Killed By Antivax Healthcare Workers

Lambert House Adult Day Center (not in article, in Oregon)

     I read this article about a nursing home in Montana, where nine residents vaccinated against Covid-19 died of the virus. Why did they die? They were vaccinated! They died, because even though they were vaccinated, there was a viral outbreak in their care center, with so many people passing it around that their new antibodies were not enough to fight against the ever increasing viral load of the virus in their systems. What would cause this kind of outbreak there, anyway? People are blaming the new law in Montana that makes it a crime to discriminate against anyone who is unvaccinated, and that includes nursing home employees, hospital workers, doctors and nurses. This new law unfairly discriminates against the elderly and the disabled and is a direct violation of the American Disabilies Act, which calls for inclusion of the disabled and makes punishable discrimatory practices that lower the quality of life of disabled people. The people that died were not treated as important as the workers who cared for them, ultimately causing them to lose their lives over the silly whims of the workers, who shouldn't be in the health care field if they don't want to prioritize other people's health as important enough to get a vaccine that can safeguard others!

9 Vaccinated Nursing Home Residents Die After Montana Lets Healthcare Workers Go Unvaccinated

Never Stop Learning! And Our Walk Out In The Woods

 

I am always learning. I read a lot, and I have begun taking online courses for free. But those online courses aren't all that good, at least so far that I have seen. I will alert you if I find any good ones, any really good ones! But mainly, they are sort of weird, I mean, really weird! They are so weird that I don't recommend the vast majority of them, at least on that one site I told you about, on Alison. Those courses lack any sort of uniformity. Usually, in a real course, online, probably, you can expect a mix of video presentations and written text-based lessons, bundled together with quizzes and final tests. But these, you don't know what to expect, because the creators were allowed to do whatever they wanted to do! They don't even tell you, in the description, if it will feature just videos, just text, or a mix of the two. You have no idea, before you click on the course. And what's the most weird, is that you are enrolled as soon as you click on it, the default is that you enroll. If you don't like it, you can disenroll. But anyway, I digress. Always be learning! I like to learn! Learning helps you in your life, in how good you are, at whatever you do!

Now, I went on a walk with Haven, a week ago, and I've been meaning to tell about it. When we went out, it was a very foggy morning. It looked sort of like how it looks in this picture:

 "The heart of another is a dark forest."

_Gloria Vanderbilt

As the day progressed, the fog made way for a sunny day, but it took its sweet time! In the meantime, it was slightly spooky! I like how its kind of hushed out in the forest, in the fog. In Portland, we get a lot of fog in fall and winter. It's very atmospheric! It helps me get into Halloween: the decorating and watching horror films with Haven. Anyway, the walk! It was so nice. We had been apart for a long time, and this was our first time hanging out since this whole Covid thing started up all around us. For one, she is a nurse, so she has to be super cautious because of that. For another, I do too, because I live with my parents now, and they are older, they had me older in their lives than most parents do starting out. They had wanted to wait, and didn't mean to wait as long as they did, but now they're elderly! Anyway, so I have to be cautious as well, for them, to protect their health. Like I wanted a job, and I couldn't work at a grocery store, because that would have put their lives in danger, since I live with them now. I had a good job, but I got layed off and had to move back home, because of Covid-19. Haven and I have been Zoom calling online, to stay in touch. It's better than the phone, because we can see each other, really big, on our computers, and you can see how the other person looks, which is so important right now, when you go out and everyone is wearing masks indoors. Well, so, I was worried, but it looks like we are going to stay a couple. Yeah! I didn't know... I mean, I don't work with her, and I didn't know if she'd found someone there, that, but no! No way! Oh, I am glad! This is just going to be fine. People have to live through things sometimes that they would rather not, but it can make them stronger in the end. Haven is really worried about the Delta variant. I am too! So we held hands, until it got warmer, and we had to take our gloves off. But it was fun! I'm going to marry Haven, if I can. I don't know now. I don't work. When we made our promises to one another, I worked and she worked. Now just Haven works, and I feel bad about that, because I want to be a provider for our household. As a man, I feel it's important, to be there, financially, for your wife. I need to work! It's just bad. Bad times!

We had on our stretchy gloves, but same difference--So nice!

A Good Day For A Walk!

 

It's a good day to have a good day!

Just a short and quick blog! I'm heading out today! I'm going to see Haven! She's my girlfriend and she's a nurse. We're allowed to do that now, and I am so glad! We've both been vaccinated. It's her day off and we are going on a hike in the forest today. We live near this place called Forest Park and it is B-I-G and goes through our town. Alright, gotta go! Bye!

Lynda (LeanJean6), is Fine--I Phoned!

 

Check out this classic styling!

 

Well, like many of you, I was worried about Lynda, because she hadn't written a blog in a while. So I called her and was very happy to hear that she's fine! Such good news! She is planning to write something tomorrow. Please don't worry, all is well! If you normally read her blog, though, and don't comment, please try and comment. She loves to chat with her readers!

Fair Warning

 

there is no safety when stalking the stalker

Be on the lookout for Michael Connelly's third Jack McEvoy mystery, Fair Warning, a thrilling crime story about what can go horribly wrong when people pursue their genetic backgrounds. Knowledge IS power, and a killer awaits!

humans share 99% DNA with everyone else on the planet!

Jack McEvoy, a reporter for the online consumer watchdog journal, Fair Warning, is having an ordinary drive home from work, until he pulls into his driveway, and discovers two police officers waiting for him. They grill him about a romantic encounter he had one lovely evening. 

when these two become one

 

He doesn't know why they want to know, since that was over a year ago, and ended as soon as it began. His curiousity piqued, he begins pursuing all the angles of this himself, putting himself and those around him in extreme danger!

 

the fear is real

I love this book. Now, I have to go find the other two books that feature this character. Jack McIvoy is driven, brave, and extremely intellegent. He's also an all-around nice guy, maybe too nice! I couldn't decide if he was or not, in his dealings with women. It's central to the story, so you'll be thinking of it too, if you read the book yourself. The author did a very good job, making this story interesting and informative.

 

this is a PROBLEM for a guy!

FYI There was a Fair Warning on the web, that you could read, just like in this book. I guess it was something he used to read regularly, before it shut down. You can read past articles here:

Lifelong Learner

 

I like to learn. September is all about learning, with kids going to school or homeschooling. We all want to learn, even when we are older. I love to learn! I just finished a course, a free course, with Alison Courses. 

 

All their classes seem to be free, but it costs money to get an actual, physical certificate for completing a course. But you can download a free PDF, every time you get done with one! These are neat, you can include them with resumes, if you want to show your learning. I'll admit this course I just did was pretty easy. I enjoy more of a challenge, usually, but I needed something to do, and it was timely--about current events, so it really fit the bill! This one was about the novel coronavirus. Not a lot of fun! And I wish I had finished earlier, because they ADDED to this course! Alright, but there was at least one mistake in the course, like they would vacillate between, "there is no vaccine" to "there is one vaccine." But I did it! I finished it already. Here is what I got for doing it:

Whoo! Whoo! I did it ALL! What did I learn? What new thing? Not anything! I'll be honest, I've been studying this thing voraciously since it came out. But not everyone has, I'll give them that. That's true. They give out awards, for studying:

You can't beat that! Well, you can and I'm going for the Silver Medal now. ha ha!

The other course that I'm doing now is 'Declutter Your Life', which is really useful to learn how to do. I'll let you know how it goes. This one is a little different than the other one, this has a lot of videos to watch, and the one about the virus just had stuff to read and a quiz at the end. If anyone wants to check them out, here's the link for them:

blood upon the snow

 

Blood Upon the Snow is a classic work of literature in the mystery-horror genre. Written by Hilda Lawrence, it has the detective Mark East in it. It was first printed in 1944, but it's pretty timeless. These are mountain people, so it's like they don't have internet up there. But other than that, it's like everywhere now. They have to use their phones. And it's hard for them to research there! Because, up in the mountains... They really are. Some places at high elevations, or where it's more remote, are like that.

"Evil finds a rich ground here. There's so few folks about it gets a chance to grow." _Mrs. Lacey

I like this detective, he's funny! He yells at his employer when he gets there, because he was hired as a secretary, and he thinks that something is up. And something is! And we have to read on to find out what this is all about. The book plays on the themes of Good Versus Evil, as well as Appearances Can Be Deceiving. I was surprised when I found out what was really happening, because it was so original! Really groundbreaking! I would never have thought in a million years, if I was separated from the last of the novel and didn't get to read it, I would never guess!

The author did a lot to make a creepy setting. We're in a remote area, up on a mountain, and we have one window in the library, where you could fall to your death in the valley below. It's been bolted shut, from the outside, so people can't fall out there, accidentally. Where the servants live, the owner has refused to give them modern amenities, except for indoor plumbing. There is no electricity, and they have to use candles in their rooms or kerosene lamps, and they have little fireplaces. The stairs down to their stone cellar area are very old and decrepit as well, being quite dangerous! So the servants aren't treated well enough at all, in that respect, and that adds to the overall mystery. And it's winter and snow is on the ground and there is a lot of snowfall, throughout the book. Mother Nature does her best to add to the creepy effect of everything else.

Our guy, Mark East, who is normally a detective back in New York, took the case, because I guess he had nothing better to do. He was curious. He thought that the guy DID know he was a detective and was pretending to not know that, when he wrote the letter asking for him to come be employed by him to help him write a book. See, the employer is an archeologist, and he wants to get all of his notes down into book form. He's old, and says this must happen soon, while he can still read his own writing. I had to laugh at that! He might not be able to read it in a while, ha ha! Oh, wow!

I thought it was sad about the kids. They aren't allowed to eat with the grown-ups, unless it is a special occasion or something. They eat with a servant, who is their governess. She also does other odd jobs about the house, especially after the head cook left, she has to pitch in more. The kids are treated strangely by everyone, but I like how Mark East talks with them, like they are old friends. He acts like he is their uncle and it is really nice! I like that about him.

I would read this again. And I want to read the rest in the series. I was surprised to learn today that you can get this for free on this one website. I don't know if it's a good website or not, though. I bought it new, over on the Dover website! ha ha! Okay, I'm going now. Take care! Over and out!

In Georgia, A School District Superintendent Chooses Vanity Over Health!

“I talked with principals today and we all agreed that, though it is a small gesture, you would enjoy the liberty of wearing jeans for the next month,” wrote Bulloch County School District superintendent Charles Wilson in an email to educators denied issuing a mask mandate.

Apparently Georgia is against people living long enough to have any semblance of liberty. True liberty is living, people! I am outraged about this happening here in our modern world! A teacher dies, just after her school opens, all because there is no interest in keeping educators and students safe from Covid-19. I know we are all tired of hearing about it, but this shouldn't be happening! We now have an FDA approved vaccine, which adults and children 12 years and up can have. It should be required of returning students and teachers! As well as other employees and anyone hanging around the building, like volunteers or visitors. We live in the modern world! That's all I have to say. I'm fed up. It's a disgrace in that it was completely preventable. High schools shouldn't have teachers dying for no reason like this. But hey! Enjoy the jeans for a month deal you got! Wow. Just wow.
