    with covid.  It seems to be making a resurgence in places around the country.  Remember to get your booster shots and take common sense health precautions.

    about 10,000,000 times since they said don't touch your face. It's one of those things like when they tell you not look fierce animals in eye.

    two weeks ago. The new strain that is very contagious. He tested early enough to take that drug they recommend to prevent really serious illness. He was pretty sick anyway. Really bad headaches and joint pain and respiratory issues. He is over it but still has really bad fatigue. Age is a problem so people over 70 really need to be careful.

    is finally getting the attention it deserves. It seems to have conservatives shook but honestly this is what conservatives have wanted for decades. Maybe they are finally realizing that most Americans don't want a unitary executive.
