War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
A horrible side effect of the COVID pandemic is a shift of resources from the Before Times normal health/medical operations, tests and other actions used to combat ‘regular’ issues like childhood immunizations and other disease treatments to a fulll-throttle push to gain a handle on the coronavirus. We could be in a world of hurt…
One of the scarier aspects of COVID-19 is its changing weirdness, not only in the quickly sprouting variants and mutations of the original coronavirus, but how science can do so much in the time we have — COVID is only about 18-19 months old, we here in the US have known about it now for…
Meanwhile, beyond the shooting of guns and the killing thereof, the immediate COVID threat continues to expand with the possibility that even vaccines available, there’s enough assholes who won’t take a shot to keep the US from beating the virus — Republican are so shitting on this country. We’re about to reach a weird-ass milestone…
One really-big major problem in securing a handle on the COVID pandemic is asshole Republicans, as way-witnessed this morning in a one-sided debate between slipknot, nit-twit Gym Jordan and Anthony Fauci during testimony at a House Oversight coronavirus subcommittee hearing, and the shit didn’t end well. Jordan is emblematic of the self-ignorant cruelty of Republicans,…
Finally off the shit list — today Merced County where I live skipped up a notch from the worse in California. From the Merced Sun-Star this morning: Merced County officials say they received good news from the state on Wednesday, as they were given permission to move into the red tier for reopening the economy.…
Although I received my second COVID-19 vaccine shot this morning, Merced County where I reside is still in California’s worse purple tier category as apparently the rest of the state seems to be finally getting out from under the coronavirus blanket — per the Merced Sun-Star last Tuesday: Merced County has lagged behind others in…
‘Anticlimatic‘ would be the word to describe my second COVID-19 vaccine shot this morning, an event most even and easy without the fanfare, mental music and hoopla that seemed to cling to my first dose last month. I was in-and-out of Walgreens here in Merced within just a few minutes, and despite the importance in…
If the wordage, ‘Before Times,’ has become a catch-pin for life prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, from all indications it could also come to include the period in the next generation or so. The twin beasts of the T-Rump and the coronavirus coming together have fostered a grim future, at least according…
As Joe Biden continues to be as popular as ever, and carries on with poise and determination, the wallowing-in-pity T-Rump maintains his lying status as a goof-ball dipshit, and after hyjacking a wedding repection over the weekend to rant bullshit, today he lashed-out at his own COVID historical reality. In a blathering statement released from…
(Illustration: ‘Why Nurses Do What They Do,’ by Emily Thomas, and found here). Just I figured a long, ugly while ago, we’re far from being out of any kind of woods in conjuction with overcoming the crazy-ass COVID-19 pandemic, as mini-surges seem to be developing across various part of the US — and this despite…
