Nothing has changed.
Russia is still advancing on Kyiv, so talking about it is not going to make it go away but, as I keep saying, Russia is just the market's excuse for a correction – not the reason for it. It kind of worries me that NOW the Government is distributing anti-viral Covid pills to pharmacies – with the plan being you get a pill if you test positive/. Is this too little, too late for our 952,509 dead or just too little for the next variant?
Worldwide, 438M people got Covid, about 5% of the population. In the US, 79M people got Covid 25% of our population – yet they will tell you how we didn't need to wear masks because they didn't work – except in the rest of the World,, of course. If we can't learn from our mistakes, how are we going to avoid making them again?
Of course, "Making the Same Mistakes Again" is the Republican Party's entire platform. Putin may be a madman but Russia only had 4.5M cases of Covid and 20M deaths because they do believe in science over there. Sure they only have half as many people as we do but still – WAY better results (1/10th as many cases) than we had in the US.
Still Biden and his maskless audience seemed pretty comfortable hanging out and shaking hands and breathing on each other yesterday. That must piss off Boris Johnson, who just got in huge trobule for having a maskless Christmas party just two months ago. Covid all gone, I guess – only 59,209 dead in February – but it was a short month. There were 3.7M new infections in February as well but everyone has decided to pretend it's over, so enjoy!
Anyway, we have bigger fish to fry now, so much so that Biden barely mentioned Global Warming, which I guess we'll put on the back burner.
IN PROGRESS
