COVID-19 pandemic three years later: Has the coronavirus won? – Los Angeles Times

With the pandemic still killing 900 to 1,000 people a day worldwide, the stealthy coronavirus behind COVID-19 hasn’t lost its punch. It spreads easily from person to person, riding respiratory droplets in the air, killing some victims but leaving most to bounce back without much harm. “Whatever the virus is doing today, it’s still working on finding another winning path,” said Dr. Eric Topol, head of Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla. We’ve become numb to the daily death toll, Topol says, but we should view it as too high. Consider that in the United States, daily hospitalizations and deaths, while lower than at the worst peaks, have not yet dropped to the low levels reached during summer 2021 before the Delta variant arrived. At any moment, the virus could change to become more transmissible, more able to sidestep the immune system or more deadly. Topol said we’re not ready for that. Trust has eroded in public health agencies, furthering an exodus of public health workers. Resistance to stay-at-home orders and vaccination mandates may be the pandemic’s legacy.

Just a few mini snippets that have crossed my path and made me either grrrrrrowl or smack myself upside the head this week …


Ever notice that the word “Republican” contains the word ‘public’?  And yet … and yet, the Republican Party could care less about the public.  Funny that.


“Former Speaker Paul Ryan is on a quiet quest to reboot the GOP as one of policy and ideas—not of identity and celebrity.”  Yeah, right … believe it when you see it.


Nikki Haley says that “wokeness is more dangerous than any pandemic.”  How many people have been killed by ‘wokeness?’  6.8 million people globally have died from Covid …


“Former Trump National Security Advisor and retired US. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is suing the U.S. government for $50 million on grounds of wrongful prosecution.”  This would mean that every…
