    They are scrounging to get people to vaccinate around here. I read the other day on our local police page that they had 50,000 openings for appointments in the county over the next 2 weeks, thinking our county has a population of 400,000. Anyone can sign up. We have a pretty high refusal rate and if you're young, I really can't blame them. Now the news media is starting to wonder why areas with fewer restrictions are seeing fewer numbers. My personal theory, they are more independent, they don't get tested, they don't go to the doctor unless they really need to and they probably got it in higher numbers earlier and are now immune. My theory on the excess deaths is continuing to show promise. Deaths are now 14,000 per week lower than what would be expected and continue to plummet. Covid was listed at the third leading cause of death last year after cardiac issues and cancer. Average age of death remains 78. Life expectancy, 78. Yard sales today, almost no one was wearing a mask. But still see the occasional driver all alone in his or her car with a mask on.
