Me: I've gotten compliments about all three lately.. But the two that meant the most to me were both on the job..

One from a 16 year old girl that was leaving to go back to school and asked if I'd miss her and when I asked if she'd miss me, she said of course, to which I jokingly said "liar" . She said really, she told her mom all about me and how she couldn't be more in aww of me... I must say that really touched me. (I don't think my own kids would say that 🙄 LOL)
And the other was from a male Co worker that came up to me and said the speed and quality of my work was very impressive and I'm an awesome employee...

On Saturday night, Florida conservative talk radio show Marc Bernier, an outspoken opponent of masking and vaccines to combat Covid-19, died of Covid-19. Earlier in the day, Caleb Wallace, a prominent opponent of masks as a means to slow the spread of Covid-19, died of Covid-19.

Wallace was 30 years old. Bernier was 65.

The two deaths are simply the latest in a string of incidents in which crusaders against mask-wearing and vaccines have died -- or been hospitalized -- after being diagnosed with Covid-19.

Bernier, in fact, was the third conservative talk radio host who opined against masks and expressed skepticism about the vaccine to die from Covid-19 in recent weeks. Earlier this month Dick Farrel, a Florida-based talk radio host, passed away from the coronavirus. Just last week, Nashville-based host Phil Valentine, 65, died from the virus.

These deaths didn't have to happen. The three Covid-19 vaccines have each proven incredibly effective at lessening -- and almost eliminating -- hospitalizations and deaths of people who get the virus. The vaccines have been readily available for months, with many states and localities offering incentives -- financial and otherwise -- for those willing to get the shots.
