If Granddad lived to see this :merchant:

The 3,625-square-mile reservation, which avoided the worst of the pandemic during the spring and summer, has rapidly devolved into one of the most alarming hot zones in the Midwest. Coronavirus infections at Standing Rock have surged more than 400% since the summer, from 106 cases in early August to 550 cases in late November, according to data from the tribe.

Burial ceremonies have become an almost daily ritual at the hilltop cemeteries on the reservation. Many families have had two, three or more relatives die from the virus. COVID-related deaths are now so frequent that the Teton Times, a local newspaper, is running five pages of obituaries a week.

Crowded housing conditions and poor access to health care have left many families feeling viscerally unsafe as the virus has tightened its clench on the small towns that lie low in the reservation's deep river valleys.

Yes, it will get a lot worse before it gets better. All those Christmas get toegethers and New Years...not to mention Thanksgiving...man it's going to be a fireball of cases and death. People just couldn't stay home because their lives were so much more important than everyone else.

Wife’s best friend's grandmother died.

She had no covid symptoms but had hip pain.

Doctors said she was asymptomatic....put her in the covid ward.

They got a message 5 days later to say she passed away. Didnt even get to day goodbye.

This shyt isn't a joke folks. Between covid itself and the lack of care because frontline workers are exhausted, people are slipping between the cracks and dying. If you are old and black it doesn't help either.

:mjcry:

Stay safe out there.
