Occasional musings from a former Georgia-based journalist now living in England. Happiness = outdoors, hiking, nature, travel, cooking, yoga, reading and dogs.

When are people going to learn. 😡 Stop assuming you have a cold or allergies if you don’t feel well. Take a freaking Covid test! I’m so tired of so many otherwise intelligent people being so blantantly irresponsible and disrespectful to their fellow humans. 🤬🤬🤬

So update: my husband is still testing positive for Covid after 11 days. He’s better, meaning he isn’t running a 102-degree fever with aches and chills. But he’s still coughing, congested and exhausted.

I didn’t luck out with Covid genetics, and I tested positive last week. But I was still lucky overall. My Covid case never felt worse than an average cold or allergies (thanks to all those who made the vaccines happen), and I tested negative after six days.

I know people talk about freedom, but with freedom comes responsibility. Your decision to be unvaccinated impacts someone else. Please get vaccinated. For yourself. For the people you love. And for your country.

VACCINATION MILESTONE: 100 million Americans have now had at least one dose of the vaccine. This is an amazing logistical feat and a credit to people in every part of the country.

I’m proud to announce that three weeks from today, 90% of adults will be eligible to get vaccinated — and 90% of Americans will live within 5 miles of a place to get a shot.

JUST IN: The author Beverly Cleary, who created some of the most beloved and authentic characters in children's literature, died Thursday at the age of 104. "I think children want to read about normal, everyday kids," she told NPR in 1999. trib.al/26JlGdh

The Georgia voting law — like so many others being pursued by Republicans in statehouses across the country — is a blatant attack on the right to vote, the Constitution, and good conscience. It’s Jim Crow in the 21st Century — and it must end.

Today, I’m setting a new goal: 200 million shots in arms by my 100th day in office.

I want every child to know that this is what vice presidents and generals in the United States Armed Forces look like.

Three weeks ago, I announced we would have enough vaccine supply for all Americans by the end of July. Now, with our efforts to ramp up production, we will have enough vaccines for every American by the end of May.

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us. They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.

This is what domestic terrorism looks like. This is Donald Trump’s America. Imagine the police response if these were Black people BREAKING INTO the Capitol. If you don’t see white supremacy and a total threat to democracy when you see this, it’s because you don’t want to.
Scores of Trump supporters breached the Capitol building and neared the Senate floor on Wednesday afternoon as thousands cheered and clashed with police in front of the building. nyti.ms/3rZGFkO

Our country is in the middle of a dramatic spike in COVID-19 cases. Please wear a mask, keep social distancing, and limit the size of any groups. It’s our patriotic duty as Americans.

We need to remember: We’re at war with a virus — not with each other.
