The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Sunday, August 22, 2021

Today at the Editor’s glance: Hurricane Henri is gunning for Long Island, N.Y., while we are left with another scorcher with highs in the lower 90s and heat index readings 102 to 106.Paul Krugman on masking: “To say what should be obvious,” Paul Krugman writes getting vaccinated and wearing a mask in public spaces aren’t “personal choices.” When you reject your shots or refuse to mask up, you’re increasing my risk of catching a potentially deadly or disabling disease, and also helping to perpetuate the social and economic costs of the pandemic. In a very real sense, the irresponsible minority is depriving the rest of us of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. […] ever since masks became a front in the culture war it has been clear that many opponents of mask mandates aren’t merely demanding the right to go unmasked themselves — they want to stop others from acting responsibly. Tucker Carlson has called on his viewers to confront people they encounter who are wearing masks, and there have been scattered reports of violent attacks on mask-wearers.”




Vaccination and testing schedule for Aug. 13-20: With the start of school and continued increases in the number of COVID cases reported each week, Flagler County Health Department (DOH-Flagler) continues to expand its testing and vaccination clinics.

“After Rugby School he never forgot the lesson he learned there: that there would always be people who just didn’t like you, to whom you seemed as alien as little green men or the Slime from Outer Space, and there was no point trying to change their minds.”

–Salman Rushdie, from “Joseph Anton” (2012).

    AMAZIN’ The trumpies won’t take legitimate, healthy vaccines but they’ll visit an animal
    feed store to buy a horse de-worming drug or use non-approved Hydroxychloroquine (trump’s favorite) .
    However, trump did manage to get the vaccinated twice while in office. Don’t do as I do . . . do as I say !

    Disingenuous to even compare the two, tasteless and tone-deaf. But hey anything at all to protect this President’s very public and embarrassing blunders, am I right Flagler Live? Let’s just keep referencing ANYTHING possible Trump related. Liberal hypocrisy and distraction at its best.

    You’re getting worse that CNN, ABC and CBS with your left wing, biased and sickening articles. Have you seen what “Bumbling Biden” is doing or (in his case) not doing? Thanks to his lack of leadership, America is in deep trouble.
