Though my spot on the introversion spectrum lies somewhere between Kleenex box-wearing Howard Hughes and urine-collecting Howard Hughes (and as I continue to age, I’m on a bullet train to raw-fish-eating Gollum), I still usually get sick in the winter, at least once. In the past, while grocery shopping or taking...
Despite the sad benchmark of half a million Americans dead from Covid-19, many developments in the war against Covid-19 are happening daily with most being positive. The CDC is reporting that more than 16 million doses of the two approved vaccines have been delivered since Sunday, probably clearing that backlog...
The song written by Sonny Bono and was a hit for Sonny Cher had a song called The Beat Goes on. The song was released in 1967 but applies to every year it seems. I sat on my porch today thinking, “ This is one crazy year”. I never say...
Candida Auris is an emerging fungal disease that COVID 19 is threatening to force with additional infections because it is common in hospital settings. It is difficult to control the fungus as it primarily infects anything in hospitals, bedding, rails, and including patients' ears and open wounds. Patients that are on...
In a few months, winter will arrive, and we are woefully unprepared for the sicknesses of the flu and cold season. It may be impossible to tell who is sick with a respiratory condition and someone who has COVID, a scenario that could cripple our health care system across the...

Trump tweeted before he went to bed, with more nonsense and no plan. How damn ignorant can you be? If we open up schools that will be the trigger for a second wave. Just one case spreads it to hundreds in each school. Who bring it home to their parents...
His continuing inability to correctly reference the 1918 flu pandemic only tells us a few things best diagnosed by professionals because he “aced” the mistake yet again. x Someone in the White House press corps needs to directly ask Trump why he keeps saying the US mortality rate for Covid-19, which...
“My worry is that we have millions of people with COVID-19 now. And if in a year's time we have 10 million recovered people, and those people have cognitive deficits … then that's going to affect their ability to work and their ability to go about activities of daily living.” Dr....
Still in a first wave doesn’t mean that like ramps, they can be both “long and steep”. And the lies keep coming. x I stopped counting a month ago, when Trump said for the 40th time that the 1918 flu pandemic, which killed his own grandfather, happened in 1917. Now...

Risky weeks ahead and until vaccines arrive. Meanwhile “Texas Attorney General tells county officials they can’t require face masks or issue stay-at-home orders”. Social distancing didn’t meaningfully reduce the number of deaths from the Spanish flu a century ago because it didn’t last long enough, says a new research paper...
Trump claimed cases would go from fifteen to zero on 28 February. Cases are over a million and he keeps raising his prideful death total now to 60-70,000, Today’s US death total is 63,000. I’m not sure what a “very, very strong” death total means, But over 60,000 lives lost is...
Trump still refers to the 1918 pandemic as happening in 1917 because he saw the recent war movie, which was not about the flu. Remember how he got the US to build a southern border fence by using “wall” as a mnemonic device for “immigrants”. Trump’s grandfather died in the...

More GOP stunts rather than action. Trump continues to emit a cloud of disinformation about the lag in testing which because of a lag in data is causing public anxiety. Example: CDC says there are 80 cases (there are 158). (CNN) President Donald Trump sought to lay blame on the Obama administration for slowing down...

For the past four days, I have heard Trump loyalists like Wilbur Ross and Larry Kudlow, disaffected Republicans like Megan McCain and Ana Navarro-Cárdenas, ‘woke’ or former Republicans like Nicolle Wallace and David Jolly use the phrase, “ this is not political.” What they all have been talking about is...
