The GOP will not be able to re take the swing states they lost if most of their voters are dead. And it is looking that way at the moment. I read the other day that 99.9 % of deaths are un vaccinated people.

_______________________________

if we take Florida as an example (as the OP has done, as it is a "red state" ) then the vast majority of those unvaccinated are young people. also, as a percentage of their own ethnicity, white people are the most vaccinated, while hispanics are below them, with black people lagging far behind on the uptake.

I know this article was an attempt to blame old, white, fox watching trumpers, but the stats say otherwise

https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/state/florida
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Only 55% in Florida have received one dose. You can bet that the vast majority of those who have got the jab, one or two doses are the Florida Dems.

2. The white, fox watching trumpers and the rest of right wing media along with twatbook are to blame for the disinformation.

so if the vaccine is just taken up by dems, why is the uptake low in ethnic minorities? are they all republicans?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe just maybe because they have a lack of trust in the system because of how badly they’ve been let down in the past

There's been some very strange bedfellows emerging over this anti-vacc malarkey. Left wing nuts in the UK reposting right wing nuts in the US, allying over their shared paranoia.

In Florida, yes. The Hispanic Community mostly voted for Trump. Being mostly from Cuba they bought in to the far right fear mongering of the far left.

Moral of the story is don't trust anyone with wings.

Usually on a wall while you’re watching Tv and out of the corner of your eye a dinner plate sized spider appears. They’re completely harmless though so you just learn to live with them.

Never, under any circumstances, would I get used to living with a dinner-plate sized arachnid. This has genuinely been a deal-breaker for me when rejecting work opportunities down under.

I doubt it was a hard sell.

What I find strange is how often you see socialists on social media channels telling Cubans, Koreans etc. that they haven't experience true communism. Like a tory telling German-born Jews post-1945 that they haven't experience true national socialism...

I'll make sure they put that on my tombstone when I see one and almost immediately perish from a heart attack... "They're harmless though."

I'm utterly cringing imaging the face on this foot-wide spider...

It would definitely be able to smell my fear. I'd get Frodo'd the moment I fell asleep

Don’t think of it as a spider, think of it as a Yorkshire terrier with eight legs, cute

I’m with you there. Those things are horrific not to mention anything that bites, stings that can kill you lives in Oz. It genuinely puts me off going near the place which is a shame.snakes I don’t mind but not 14 inch big spiders. Fack that

They’re fast. I learnt the valuable lesson in trying not to kill one before bed. As I saw it on my wall before sleep time so tried to mash it but it ran under my bed and instead of just letting him do his thing and hunt insects I made a mortal spider enemy and never did see him again. He’s waiting and watching me.

😂 you barely see anything dangerous. The odd spider but some people go years without ever seeing a huntsman. And snakes are about as common in Sydney as badgers are in central London. You should go post COVID and join the ranks of English people who would trade their passports tomorrow if they could.

The thing is, you jest but I would genuinely convince myself that the spider was holding a grudge and just waiting to take revenge. It would cripple me with fear and I'd probably Caroline Flack.

Could a cat or dog not hunt them? Cats a hard as fack for their size and as fast as anything, so reckon I’d get a big cat to protect the house.

You don't know fear , until an Aussie rules footballer asks you where you come from !
