But, the loop only lasted for a second. I regained my composure from a disbelieving angry reaction after thinking that I saw where you were coming from.
The way that I see it, you and I are viewing Covid-19 from different angles. I'm not saying that both angles aren't needed. Just that they are different.
Your perspective comes from sitting as you gather and disseminate information, ideas, and entertainment while at the same time attempting to keep this board on the straight and narrow. It's a demanding job and I think that you mostly do all of it quite well and that people are not complaining that Covid-19 has not been covered enough.
I'm coming from being out here trying to get people vaccinated. Before going north, I searched for and took LM people to get vaccinated and was successful with some. But there were eight residents that said they were not interested.
Even Don Everardo said no because he thought people were being killed instead of being helped. He implored me not to get vaccinated because I would be dead in six if not in two months. When I asked where he had gotten such an idea, Everardo said someone had visited him and told him so.
I was also told by others that the 'government' was trying to control us and about other conspiracies.
I respected everyone's position and didn't push. To each his own I thought and I went ahead and got vaxed.
That was then. Now with different information from the States about a mutated virus, Delta, that is infecting and needlessly killing countless people, including youngsters, because they don't get vaccinated, I am pushing. And I push because if enough people don't get vaccinated, I, personally, am going to be dealing with a virus that my present vaccination doesn't/can't control.
Yes, this gets personal. So when I see a younger, strong and vital person needlessly die, I am going to use that instance to convince residents and friends to vaccinate. I really don't need names, but in this case, it helps.
Yes, I got back and immediately took three gentlemen, including Don Everardo, to get vaccinated in La Huerta. This time it didn't take much persuasion to get them there. Neighbors and friends dying around them were convincing enough.
I focused on these three because of their vulnerabilities, age, and underlying conditions, knowing that the Sinovac vaccine doesn't cover the Delta variant. I was told that people should get the vaccine that is available and not procrastinate. So now we anxiously wait for more data and information. Then we will act accordingly.
So, mi amigo, morbid curiosity is not the catalyst, but interest in my and my neighbors' health is.
I know you invite and like dialogue and it's appreciated now that it is off my chest. Cruz
PS: Yes, this Board being bilingual would be exceptional but a can of work and worms. I wish I was younger and could tackle it with you.
