She’s dead.
Two weeks ago, she was a healthy 20-year-old daycare teacher.
Now, she’s another Covid-19 statistic in Idaho.
“Idaho continues to set record highs with 686 hospitalized COVID-19 patients as of September 18, 180 of them in intensive care unit beds and 112 on ventilators,” the Daily Mail said on Thursday, September 23, 2021, adding, “Idaho’s vaccination rates remain among the lowest in the nation, with about 51 per cent of all eligible residents fully vaccinated against coronavirus, according to numbers from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.”
The tabloid newspaper also said, “Her mother has declined to reveal her daughter’s vaccination status, saying she was not uncomfortable with discussing it.”

Why do media run stories like this? Why do I repost them here? Object examples. Don’t be like them.
The Covid-19 virus isn’t picky; it takes all kinds of people — the elderly, health care workers and first responders, athletes, young people, even kids. Who gets an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic case, and who becomes desperately ill and dies within days, is almost random. We have effective weapons against this deadly enemy: Vaccines, masks, and social distancing. Use them! Those who spurn our best defenses are rolling the dice, gambling with their lives.
A case in point: In California, “Kristen Lowery, who had declared herself ‘unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated, unafraid’ on Facebook and was an outspoken opponent of the coronavirus vaccine, died on Sept. 15 …. A GoFundMe page set up to cover Lowery’s funeral expenses makes no mention of the coronavirus but says she died ‘suddenly and unexpectedly.'” (See story here, and this blog’s previous post about this case here.) They wouldn’t even acknowledge what killed her.
This madness needs to end, but only the crazy-mad among us can end it.
Actually Covid is rather picky. While there are deaths in every age group 0-17 is only 439. Most probably with some type of underlying condition. The largest group of deaths is the oldest group of Americans. And it is only in the 50 and above that the chance of death increases and then increases substantially. This is not an equal odds disease at least not yet. Perhaps it has other surprises for us. It will morph into a form of Smallpox but remember it was not developed in a bio weapons lab.
Older people may be more vulnerable, but there are plenty of stories of healthy people, including young people, dying from it. The virus picked off this healthy 20-year-old. She was dead within 2 weeks. The point is, nobody should assume they’re safe if they’re unvaccinated and aren’t taking any precautions.
