Few Americans have received the latest vaccines against the coronavirus: Just over 7 percent of adults and 2 percent of children had received the shot as of Oct. 14, according to a survey presented on Thursday to scientific advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The uptake is weak even among those most at risk of severe illness. Only one in five people age 75 or older has been vaccinated, along with about 15 percent of those ages 65 to 74, according to the survey of nearly 15,000 people.

    Hospitals and Nursing homes don't even bother with masks anymore. If they do, it's after an outbreak starts to stop too many staff from getting sick at once. They absolutely don't care about infecting vulnerable people.

      It's so fucked. I feel so bad for people who have no option but to live in congregate living. Like being old and knowing you and everyone is going to die unless the people in charge protect you and no one does it, even though it's simple and straightforward. People are being put in institutions to die. They are death farms. Prisons, nursing homes, long term care facilities for disabled people, hospitals. They're all just herding people over the edge of a cliff. They are death mills for the less fortunate. It's so fucked. The numbers are being hidden, they aren't testing people and they're putting down other things as the cause of death. I'm convinced it's basically a class-based genocide.
