Check Out My site: Reflections at 85. I just today posted the intro of my book,
Legacy in the Time of Covid
Covid Blessings, Covid Responsibilities.
It is a book for lay people to not forget, (and to talk about it, write about it, for the sake not only of ourselves, but the future.) Though it's easy to, but as your title says, "It Ain't Over Yet".
I would like permission to use some of your sentences as quotations in my book; can you let me know if that's possible? Thank you for seeing so clearly. Sometimes it gets lonely and to find a kindred spirit is a relief. Thank you for your post.
Thank you, and truly, thank you. I read every one of your pieces, and share quite a few of them with friends and family. A steady mind with a kind heart, well-chosen words, and a breath of fresh air continues to fill my body with hope. With blessings and gratitude from Albuquerque, NM
I believe it's also allied with climate change. And I don't want to sound like a nut, but I believe the end of the world is coming. This is just how nature progresses over the long term.
I’m glad you addressed this. I don’t believe 90% of your followers are virus or vaccine deniers. I go out to doctors’ offices and see 3 of us (including myself) wearing masks in a room full of people. I walk into a retail store and see one other person wearing a mask aside from cashiers in one grocery store wearing masks! A Republican state with governors who made state law not to mandate masks because of his personal views. An Authoritarian!. Don’t move to FL
Yes but the thing is even counties were no longer keeping up with cases being reported. That’s why the Weather channel stopped posting local case numbers. Places stopped reporting and they weren’t getting info.
The "vaccines" DON'T work, they may, in fact, make people MORE susceptible to Covid, it was DEMOCRATS who politicized the virus, and Dan Rather is a lying disgrace.
But "priming" the immune system is the whole idea. That's how vaccines work: by allowing the immune system to develop a defense against a pathogen without having go experience a full-blown infection.
And no, it doesn't guarantee immunity. Neither does going through a bout of Covid, it seems; reinfection cases among Covid patients aren't uncommon, partly due to the proliferation of variants but also due in some cases to the immune system's failure to build fully effective antibodies. That's probably at least partly genetic. The idea, though, is to encourage at least resistance against life-threatening cases.
It probably won't yet there will be those who are vulnerable to it like the seasonal flu. And those who are immune compromised for whatever reason. Masks protect all of them. I know more people who got Covid after vaccines because they stopped wearing masks indoors. We do NOT have to get COVID.
Excellent! Excellent article that should be read and shared broadly and be required reading for those in the media who do reporting. Unfortunately , too many of our people seem to court stupid conspiracy theories than behaving responsibily in helping to stop the spread.
Thanks Dan. Berwick, PA has Covid very badly. It has never gone away. My tired Nurses ( friends) are extremely exhausted. Yes, Covid is back in the Hospitals and Nursing Homes in PA.

Yes . That is Hollywood today. Don’t kill the audience. Unbelievable . Just let the virus do it. There must be some alternative to Hollywood.
Sadly, we are killing ourselves.

I can only take care of myself. I have been vaccinated, received a booster. I have not yet contracted Covid. I mask when appropriate.
100yo aunt has been in rehab 2 weeks in FL. They're now dealing with a COVID outbreak. She's not vaxxed due to a bad reaction to the first dose.
Excellent article!!! Thank you.
