Deep-foggy here in California’s Central Valley, and feels like it’s foggy all over the world… Except it’s fog and not rain, and I’m in Californa, not Georgia, but due to the pandemic and all its terrible vistas, you get the point. And the mark is getting deeper and deeper — as of today the world…
Even as we hudde in isolation from the gravest emergency maybe in a long, long time — COVID-19 — the virus keeps exploding all across the planet and overwhelming the US without an end in sight.

As here on Thursday morning, the COVID-19 virus is still in the surge mode, with no end in sight even with the roll-out of a vaccine — yesterday, the US average number of daily cases across a week was 215,729 (more than three times what the daily case average was during a summer peak in…

As if there wasn’t enough shit on our plates, now the Russkies: And it was the Russians — via Reuters, updated this evening: Hackers believed to be working for Russia have been monitoring internal email traffic at the U.S. Treasury Department and an agency that decides internet and telecommunications policy, according to people familiar with…
California is soaring with COVID-19 cases and death, and now the state’s Central Valley (where I reside) is quickly going to shitsville with ICU-bed capacity dropping like a rock (h/t BJ): We’re in a world of hurt — from the LA Times this morning: The last time Dr. Eyad Almasri had a day off was…
