Excellent video on COVID
I found this last night, and it’s one of the best things I’ve seen so far on COVID and public policy. These guys are smart and they’re reasonable, IMHO:

We could use some encouraging news, and I think this qualifies: The researchers are calling their experimental vaccine ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222). It combines genetic material from the coronavirus with a modified adenovirus that is known to cause infections in chimpanzees. … Continue reading →
The Floyd/Chauvin transcript and what it reveals

I keep reading that the above states are in big trouble, but I don’t see it the way a lot of people seem to see it. I suppose it depends on what you mean when you say “in trouble.” Obviously, … Continue reading →
And we should listen to Fauci’s prognostications why?
I think at this point, his guess is as good as ours. But I also think these recent remarks Fauci made yesterday are interesting (his remarks in italics, and then my responses): —Clearly we are not in total control right … Continue reading →
