War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
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 of this afternoon, the US has 17,878,805 confirmed cases and 320,790 deaths — 17 million! Here in California…
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 COVID-19 surges across California, the technical aspects of a vaccine roll-out are being pondered not only in logistics, but who will be getting the first doses, and beyond health-care workers and the elderly, there’s seemingly an endless line of hopefuls. In order to make a choice starting today, a pair of advisory committees —…
Sunny and chilly this mid-day Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley, and once again some shitty virus numbers nationwide as of this morning — 17,278,276 COVID-19 cases, with now 313,467 deaths. And as Dr. Anthony Fauci warned last month, the holiday period coming up could bring on “a surge upon a surge” of COVID cases,…
Politics of health nowadays is deadly. Here on this Tuesday evening, the country is being ground into mush by a pandemic fueled in part by a huge faction of Americans sprouting bullshit from the Republican bullhorn, twisting facts into lies and killing 300,000-plus people. The huge problem with getting a handle on COVID-19 is politics…
Yesterday seemed special as politics and the coronavirus overlapped each other with Joe Biden finally nabbing the Electoral college president-elect title (and this morning both MoscowMitch and his benefactor, Vlad Putin, belateldy proclaimed as such), and America’s first COVID-19 vaccine rolled out — the Pfizer/BioNTech shot was first administered to New York health-care worker, Sandra…
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…
Despite the T-Rump’s cold-hearted lackeys attempt to fuck the country via SCOTUS, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to surge, and here in California it’s boiling — where I live in the Central Valley we’re running out of ICU beds, and even social-distancing space. Although the stay-at-home order continues due to the mass of new cases, restrictions…
If you’re a ‘celebrity’ even a deadly virus is nothing at all: Yesterday, the US set a record for single-day deaths from COVID-19 at 3,054, and then today broke it. And also today, CDC Director Robert Redfield said the dying will continue apparently unabated: ‘“We are in the timeframe now that probably for the next…
As a former resident of Florida — I spent the first big chunk of my life there, attended/graduated from the University of Florida — this news from the Sunshine State isn’t a surprise, considering the state of the state the last few years, but yet it’s still scary-shitty: Background/details via the Tallahassee Democrat this evening:…
