    It’s hard to not be biased. I got the first vaccines because at the time COVID seemed serious and uncertain. I got COVID once and it wasn’t much worse than the common cold, so now I discount it as not a big deal and I don’t need to get any more vaccines....

  • ↳onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation  and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement  in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope  my experiences can help others. 😀byMMinnie

    A frightening claim is spreading online that a “viral plague” has escaped from a Russian biological laboratory and caused widespread panic. The underlying incident is real, but the most alarming version of the story remains unproven....

    I am hopeful that it will. There’s a really strong inverse correlation with GDP- the more wealthy a country/region, the less malaria. So I think as the African continent (95% of cases I believe) gets more investing in the business and infrastructure, the less deaths we’ll see....
