This week we will be discussing  Choice, Consequences and the Greater Good regarding how the current covid surge is locking up ICU beds all over the country and preventing patients with other illnesses from accessing life saving treatments. We will get into how the choices made by the anti-vax and anti-mask population is we believe selfish and some potential options to address it.

We will be following up on the Sturgis Bike Rally and the 600% increase in Covid cases resulting in South Dakota alone.

We will look at the latest reports coming from the 2020 Census and some impact changes to redistricting that may be coming.

And we will re-visit the 3rd Political Party option and outlook based on voter turnout numbers from the 2020 election.

This week, we will be discussing the latest Covid news asa always, but we will also be placing our progress through the pandemic against other pandemics over the past 100 years (Smallpox, Polio, Measles, etc) looking at how vaccines and medical treatment eliminated these.

This week on FiredUp, Steve will be updating the latest Covid information including stats as well as news on the latest variant - called the Lambda Variant - which has been identified in 41 countries around the world as well as being identified in 44 US states with 1300 cases already documented.
- In other Covid related stories, news about the increasing numbers of former anti-vaxxer/anti-mask advocates that continue to "get religion" about getting the vaccine once they have been infected and hospitalized with the Delta variant.
- Also, critics falsely attribute statements that the Biden Administration wants to require all US citizens to get vaccinated, a false claim as no such statement has ever been issued.
- There was a story that a conservative spokesperson called the requirement for Covid vaccination before students can attend school this fall a civil rights violation, ignoring the fact that pre start-of-school vaccinations have been a requirement for more that 50 years and are perfectly legal under local and state laws.
- In political news, the Biden administration is drawing heat from their dropping the ball and letting the CDC Eviction Moratorium end. Now they are scrambling to get it reinstated.
- And if the events of January 6th weren't enough, a Right Wing group has announced another protest at the Capitol for Sept 18th.
