Let’s do a quick tour of the COVID numbers. We are in mid-October now and it is the time of the year that seasonal viruses kick in; however, since September 1, U.S. COVID cases are down from 166,000 per day to 85,000 per day, a drop of almost 50%. Last year around this time, weContinue reading “COVID: September Slide Continues into October (and more good news)”

Memo to Fauci, Biden, CDC: How Can You Live With Yourself?
For my last COVID post, I focused much on the good news, so let’s start there. After rising in July and August, COVID cases peaked in early September and have been falling since; we are down more than 42% in the last 5 weeks, the average having fallen down below 100,000 per day again. ItContinue reading “Memo to Fauci, Biden, CDC: How Can You Live With Yourself?”
Never Again
The term “never again” is used to remind us of the horrors of the Nazi holocaust. The Nazi regime revealed the worst of humanity and we should be ever vigilant against such people coming to power again. I remember my father telling me about my grandfather’s witness to this during the end of WWII. GeneralContinue reading “Never Again”
Discussion on Freedom (with regard to COVID policy, abortion, gay marriage, transgenderism, and more)
A couple months back I engaged in a discussion of system racism with a liberal friend. I gave him an opportunity to criticize my positions and included his comments verbatim. We didn’t snipe at each other in pithy 140-word tweets and then hide behind a curtain of anonymity. Instead, we laid out the arguments inContinue reading “Discussion on Freedom (with regard to COVID policy, abortion, gay marriage, transgenderism, and more)”
COVID’s September Slide (Some Good News)
Last September, the third wave of COVID was in full swing and COVID deaths reached their peak a few months later. On the other hand, this September brought the end of the COVID fourth wave which was not as deadly as the third wave. For the moment, COVID in the U.S. is in full retreat.Continue reading “COVID’s September Slide (Some Good News)”
Do You Really Mean It?
As a presidential candidate last year, Joe Biden told us he was “going to shut down COVID”. In a speech to the nation on September 9, he told us again that he has a new plan and that it promises certain things, such as: keeping kids safe in school, reducing the spread of COVID, savingContinue reading “Do You Really Mean It?”
Delta Declines; COVID Tyranny Rises
The biggest news of the last week is that the Delta variant is now in decline in the U.S. Even though we knew this was coming, it is still nice to see. The rising and falling of COVID cases is the one COVID related feature as certain as death and taxes. The 7-day moving averageContinue reading “Delta Declines; COVID Tyranny Rises”
COVID Retrospective (vaccines, masks, treatments, natural immunity, herd immunity, and more)
In my last post, I wrote of the ineffectiveness of mask mandates at stopping the spread of COVID. Dr. Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s state epidemiologist said, “face masks are an easy solution, and I’m deeply distrustful of easy solutions to complex problems” (To Mask or Not to Mask: That is the Question – Seek the TruthContinue reading “COVID Retrospective (vaccines, masks, treatments, natural immunity, herd immunity, and more)”
To Mask or Not to Mask: That is the Question
The more evidence that is brought to light that mask mandates, and masks in general, are ineffective at stopping the spread of COVID (or other communicable diseases), the harder the push is to enforce masking in schools, to bring back mandates for the general public, to openly criticize those who favor freedom of choice onContinue reading “To Mask or Not to Mask: That is the Question”
COVID: What’s Next?
COVID has clearly spread rapidly this summer. Cases are averaging almost 150,000 per day, a level that was first reached late last fall. We left those levels behind in early February, we thought for good, but the virus waxes and the virus wanes. The virus is gonna do what it is gonna do despite theContinue reading “COVID: What’s Next?”
