ROLL TIDE! Alabama Does It Again!
Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Monday, September 20, 2021
Only thing is, this “First Place award” is nothing to be proud of.
According to figures collected by the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), public health officials found that in 2020, for the FIRST TIME IN RECORDED HISTORY, more people DIED in Alabama of COVID-19, than were born in Alabama that same year.
Dr. Scott Harris, MD, State Health Officer made the announcement at a press conference September 17, 2021, and said in part, that “Our state literally shrunk.”
Dr. Harris pointed to preliminary statistics which show that 64,714 died last year in the Yellowhammer State, while only 57,641 were born there.
The practically exclusive culprit?
COVID-19.
The disease has ravaged the nation, particularly among politically conservative, and rural hold-outs, many who have steadfastly refused — for whatever false, or malign reason — to receive any of the the THREE FREE vaccines. Furthermore, those same individuals similarly steadfastly refuse to don nose/mouth coverings to protect themselves from others, or others from themselves, falsely claiming that their “freedoms” are at risk if they “take the jab,” or don the mask.
Nobody makes them wear condoms, either. Yet we know that condom use benefits public health by lowering rates of infection with sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, among those whom are sexually active without benefit of a mutually monogamous partner.
Parents have “raised cane,” and pitched “hissy fits” in public places, threatening public officials — school board officials, and others — at public meetings of the schools boards. Some officials have required police protection from the fearsome crowds, some of whom have brandished weapons, including firearms, in their threats. The events have been verging upon being riotous, and not in a good way, which in some cases have become more than mere “civil disturbances.”
The excuses people conjure up to not get a FREE LIFE-SAVING VACCINE are as varied as people themselves. And ALL of them — WITHOUT EXCEPTION — are lies. ALL. OF. THEM.
It’s purely nonsense, and one of the worst public displays of ignorance that one could possibly imagine. And yet, the more ignorant they are, the louder they holler. It certainly seems to be the “squeaky wheel” syndrome, in which the squeaky wheel gets the grease. It’s negative attention-getting at its worst. And the perversely bizarre crux of the matter is that… it works. Negative behavior is rewarded.
Imagine this scenario: You’re in the grocery store, as a parent, and your 4, or 5-year old child is accompanying you. The child suddenly throws a temper tantrum, screaming and crying while writhing in the floor — in other words, acting like a fool — because you won’t purchase some inane trinket, or junk food item they demand.
So, they become little terrorists.
There’s NO OTHER WORD for it.
And they attempt to intimidate, or threaten you, with something silly like claiming that they’ll “hold their breath” until they get their way, or that they won’t get up and accompany you as you’re leaving the store.
In each and every instance, the temper tantrum is a selfishly motivated action, perversely designed to pressure you, the adult, into “caving in” to their demands. And each and every time the proper response is to firmly state that behavior is intolerable, and issue an ultimatum to them, and then, enforce it.
Remember: It’s CHILDREN that you’re dealing with… NOT rational, reasonable adults.
And, sad to say, that’s how the adults in many, if not most, of those scenarios are acting… like children.
According to the COVID-19 Data and Surveillance dashboard by the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), to date, there have been a cumulative total of 13,210 deaths from SARS-CoV-2, aka “COVID-19” in 2020, qnd to date in 2021.
Deaths in 2020 = 7,182
Deaths to date in 2021 = 6,028
The number of cases:
Cumulative TOTAL (2020 + 2021 to date) = 772,311
2020 = 388,285
2021 = 384,026
Tennessee, Alabama’s northern next-door neighbor, isn’t faring much better.
Totals:
Cases = 1,190,689
Deaths = 14,441
“Thank god for” Mississippi similarly has poor figures.
Totals:
Infections = 476,100
Deaths = 9,270
However, Texas and Florida – both states with Banana Republican morons for governor – lead the pack, by far.
Texas
Totals:
Infections = 3,947,856
Deaths = 62,071
Florida
Totals:
Infections = 3,528,698
Deaths = 51,884
Let’s break it down further.
Texas 2020 population is: 29,145,505.
Florida 2020 population is: 21,538,187.
Alabama 2020 population is: 5,024,279.
Mississippi 2020 population is: 2,961,279.
• In Alabama, 15.37% of the population has been infected with COVID-19.
• In Texas, 13.54% of the population has been infected with COVID-19.
• In Florida, 16.38% of the population has been infected with COVID-19.
• In Mississippi, 16.07% of the population has been infected with COVID-19.
But! There’s GOOD NEWS!
The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Alabama’s hospitals has DECLINED!
The reason why that figure has declined, is because they’ve died.
So, there’s that to consider.
