I don’t think other countries are going to suffer quite like Americans are for their stances and views on COVID. There’s a few reasons for that–one is every other country we consider a peer offers Health care for all so don’t have to worry about a society losing all its assets by the tens of…
Republicans Want you Dead: A simple deduction based on actions they’ve taken
It’s so interesting to me how little people want to talk about the laters with COVID–we’ve spent so much time nursing the hurt feelings of the people who can’t deal with having to change any of their behavior for more than maybe, a few weeks at a time that we are losing sight of how…
Logic can never overcome emotion: It was too early to pull off masks
Look, I know a lot of you guys think I am too paranoid or living in some kind of encapsulated bubble because I think we should pay attention to the science, but not the advice of most of our government officials. Again, I’ll point out it was Delta’s CEO (article here) who argued for shorter…
Better Safe than Sorry: An anthem for those who haven’t had COVID
I haven’t written in a while because I am utterly depressed with how weak the country has ended up being in its resolve. A few weeks back everyone decided it was cool to get infected with COVID, there was no need to wear masks anymore, public health officials admitting defeat against America’s rigid independence sacrificing…
Ah that rugged individualism ruining things. Our lack of cooperation will kill us.
I don’t know why this just occurred to me since the writing has been on the wall about this for some time, but I realized we are getting a real time lesson in what not governing will do to a population’s health and how underestimating that will be the end of America, our health maybe…
We didn’t see it coming, says the public later as the train barrels over us all: COVID-19 as a pre-existing condition
Lately I’ve been seeing posts about people wanting to have politicians consider policy about protecting people with pre-existing conditions like COVID and of course suddenly my paranoias, as people have claimed, have proven to not be paranoid but predictive. I think if you see the public and how it’s been acting, and also understand there…
Our Leadership Gave Up On Us: Did American immaturity push the government to abandon all prevention in favor of quicker infection to weed out the weak?
It sounds horrendous to contemplate, doesn’t it? But there is nothing that explains giving up on the last leg of the race. I predicted we wouldn’t all feel free and easy until next year, when I see our positives going down 90% at least in most places. Will it seem stupid in a few years…
Social contracts & the price we’ll pay: COVID-19 medical care & access
One thing that’s been tough for me to let go of that I continue to roll around in my head is this idea that we all know we live in a society, right? We are all expected to make our contribution to society in almost every legal manner we see fit through whatever work or…
Are taller people less at risk for COVID infection?
There is no formal study I have yet to look at, but as I used some common sense to avoid being infected in the last apartment building we got a place in mid-pandemic, I am starting to question if this might be another advantage of being taller in public spaces. I just bought some boots…
The Duality & Tribalism: L vs R & COVID
Ugh. I haven’t written in a few days but I have a slew of articles to give you here-I, too, am sick and tired of this virus and how people’s inability to evolve and adapt has affected the whole of society. I think for some people there is something in them that does prevent them…
