COVID is clearly fading into the background in 2022. But how long will it remain there? Will the awful precedents our politicians tried to establish the last two years be revived in the near future? Have we ended these miscreants power grab? How do we protect ourselves from the return of such anti-democratic policies? TheContinue reading “COVID: Can Life Ever Return to Normal? Only if We Demand It.”

I received an email reminding me the U.S. had reached one million COVID deaths and informing me there are still too many COVID deaths In addition, I was told: The health care system still is overburdened because the unvaccinated and those who have given up any idea of protecting themselves and others continue to beContinue reading “Are We Surviving COVID Still?”

Everyone, well almost everyone, is excited the masks are no longer required for airline travel. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-court-overturns-cdc-travel-mask-mandate-unlawful-rcna24853. In my locale, probably 90% of folks have already ditched the masks, many during the last year as they’ve tired of restrictions. Please don’t misunderstand our excitement, however. People do want to contribute to the cause; they just don’tContinue reading “Masks Come Off, COVID Deaths Plummet, Denmark Stops Vaccinating”

No, COVID itself isn’t going away just yet, but for many people it is no longer a factor in their lives, and hasn’t been a factor for a year or more.

Here are a few quick hit to supplement my last post: OMG: COVID Crisis Just Ended. Most of the world has ended its COVID restrictions by now, but how much have our leaders really learned from this experience? Will those lessons further the public interest or will they be for our leaders own or their party’sContinue reading “Quick Hits: Vaccine Safety/Who Killed Ivermectin?”

COVID has been the third leading cause of the death in the U.S. for the last two years. That makes COVID certainly meaningful, but COVID itself has been manageable for a long time, and has been managed well in some locales. It was a threat for some folks but not all, yet our leaders andContinue reading “OMG: COVID Crisis Just Ended”

I start by posing a question in the tradition of the ancient great Socrates. Where do you think this picture is from? It looks like it could be in the Ukraine, but it is not. It is Canada instead. What could be the reason for the assault on this pickup truck? Is there a terroristContinue reading “Western COVID Tyranny (Go Canada Truckers!)”

This is a quick update on COVID. The United States, along with the rest of the world, is now seeing a significant decline in COVID numbers. The political situation also continues to change rapidly, so while this post is a bit shorter than normal, I want to share recent updates and leave time for aContinue reading “COVID is Still Trending Down”

A few interesting things occurred the past week in the COVID world. COVID continues as a soap opera as people pretend what many of us know to be true is not true.
