What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 263 & BENKYO RADIO 263.

I really want to thank the makers of South Park for their vaccination special because quite frankly, we could all use a little humor. In all seriousness, it is super exciting to hear that President Joe Biden announced that starting May 1st 2021, every American will be allowed to get the vaccine. This is excellent news! Some bands are considering concerts for Fall 2021. Will it happen? It might be a little bit soon, but you never know. The sooner we all get vaccinated, the sooner things can return to normal. As you know, COVID-19 was extremely deadly, it is imperative to continue to wear a mask, practice social-distancing, and wash your hands. People can get upset at Governor Gavin Newsom all they want, but it’s because he did the lockdown and closed many locations, that stopped the pandemic from being worst. And if you don’t believe that, the next time you get some coffee, why don’t you ask the local doctor, nurse, firefighter, policeman, military, etc. They will tell you how packed the hospitals are. They will tell you about the people who are on respirators. You think you’ve experienced fear? I will tell you what fear is. Imagine being in a hospital in a full hasmat suit, and someone tells you that they are out of ICU beds. Now THAT’s fucking scary. So pretty please, stop bitching about wearing a mask. We were far behind because of Trump. We worked hard and got Biden elected. As soon as he started work, he said he’d get something like 100 million Americans vaccinated asap, and he’s doing that. Learn about patience. If we start vaccinating everybody by Summer, that means a return to normal for Fall! Let’s get it done!

Until next time!
