For all of you anti-vaxers I want you to know a good friend and riding buddy is in the hospital with Covid. Jimmy Yow and I always share a room at the JBS spring and fall rides. He has been in the hospital for nine days and is getting worse. He shares the land with the Hardy's.

Hope Jimmy is ok. Haven’t seen him in years.
I’m still amazed by anti-Vaxxers. I had a neighbor tell me I should wear a mask spraying Roundup but yet he refuses a mask or Covid vaccine shot. Go figure….

And that’s when they will say he has other conditions. Whether he does or not. I’m sorry to hear about your friend.
It’s so frustrating that we are so divided as a nation on how to deal with a global pandemic. Especially with our children.

This is from this morning.
9:00am: Minor setback this morning, they had to up his oxygen to 13L and is breathing at 84%. They just did a chest X-ray and we are awaiting the results. Dad was very weak this morning and wasn’t able to talk very long without getting winded. Prayer warriors, please pray!
3:02pm: Dad has had a much better afternoon! Mom was able to talk to him on the phone for awhile and he just had physical therapy. He was able to walk a short distance two times to his chair and back! Slow and steady wins the race 🐢💚 Way to go dad!

I saw a interview with his sister on WXII today, prayers going up for him and his family.

Jimmy has made great improvement and is nearly off of oxygen, may go home at end of week, 3 weeks in ICU vs. a free shot. Also Chris Hodges (founder of Razor Nation) is in ICU with Covid and James Davis (JBS) has it also.

Wow lots of ICU use now.
I wish people would get the shot. Amazes me that the rest of the world wants the vaccine and can’t get it since poor but rich entitled USA gets it with no wait and 40% decide to pass. I’ve got Honduras staff that spent their full retirement savings to come to Miami to get the shots. They have seen the death and destruction of full hospitals and better understand vaccine benefits then many Americans.
China has predicted that over the next 100 to 200 or so years democracy in USA will weaken the country due to the masses making uneducated wrong decisions. I hope they are wrong.

Jimmy has been hame a couple od days. Here is what he posted. Get the damm shot.
At this time I'm still on oxygen and will be for at least another month. I still can't walk but I can finally stand for a few seconds and it's getting better each day. Homehealth nurse is coming 3 days a week and physical therapist 2 days a week . I'm still not able to talk on the phone , but I'm getting there as well .
