Woman Dies on The Voyage Roller Coaster at Holiday World

Earlier this evening, a female Guest returned to the station of The Voyage roller coaster unresponsive. Holiday World EMTs arrived three minutes later and immediately began to render first aid.

The Guest was transported via ambulance to Memorial Hospital in Jasper, Indiana. At this point, the Guest’s name has not been released.

A full inspection of the roller coaster has been performed, and it was determined that the ride operated as it was intended to.

The ride remained closed for the evening out of respect for the family.

Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari officials ask for your thoughts and prayers for the Guest and her family, as well as for Team Members who were onsite.

According to The New York Post, Dawn Jankovic, 47, of Ohio, was taken to Memorial Hospital, where she died hours later.

CDC To Hide True “Breakthrough” COVID-19 Numbers

In an apparent effort to not alarm people, or maybe to just deceive them, the “CDC is transitioning to reporting only patients with COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infection that were hospitalized or died to help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance. That change in reporting will begin on May 14, 2021. In preparation for that transition, the number of reported breakthrough cases will not be updated on May 7, 2021.”

In other words, the number of people who are “fully vaccinated” and still get COVID-19, but are not hospitalized due to COVID-19, and/or do not die from COVID-19, WILL NOT BE COUNTED in their COVID-19 “breakthrough” numbers. Thus we’ll never really know just how effective the vaccines are against COVID-19.

Follow the science, kids. Throw out unwanted data. Let the numbers speak what you want them to speak.

EIGHT Fully Vaccinated Yankees Test Positive for COVID-19

“The Yankees can today confirm that INF Gleyber Torres has received a positive COVID-19 diagnosis. He was fully vaccinated and previously had COVID-19 during the most recent baseball off-season. Torres has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list, and the Yankees have recalled INF/OF Miguel Andújar (#41) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Torres is the eighth Yankees player, coach, or traveling staff member to test positive this week. All of the positives are breakthrough positives, occurring with individuals who were fully vaccinated.

The other recent Yankees COVID-19 positives are Pitching Coach Matt Blake, Third Base Coach Phil Nevin, First Base Coach Reggie Willits, and four members of the Yankees’ traveling staff. All are currently under quarantine protocol in Tampa.

Major League Baseball, its medical experts, and the New York State Department of Health are currently advising and assisting the Yankees, who continue to undergo additional testing and contact tracing.”

Joe: Let The Hugging Commence!

The Figurehead of the Free World has spoken. Give us a hug…if you’ve been vaccinated. (Wait, we weren’t supposed to hug before?! Ooops. We’re huggers. Sorry!!!)

If you’ve been vaccinated, you don’t have to wear your mask and you can shake hands. You can even give each other a hug. But if you’ve not been vaccinated, please wear a mask.

~ Joe Biden

CDC Cancels Masks

Joining in with those who have been doing things all along, maskless, the CDC awards people vaccinated against Covid-19 by removing their mask requirements, indoors and outdoors. Welcome back, friends! The air is refreshing!

“If you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing the things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky said during a White House Covid-19 briefing. “We have all longed for this moment when we can get back to some sense of normalcy.”
