This is a quick overview of where the race is now.

Discussion of the lab leak hypothesis on the origin of the pandemic is finally allowed. Is that because it adds fuel to fire a war with China (even though the US provided funding and support for gain of function research in Wuhan)? However, interestingly use of ivermectin as an effective treatment is still out of bounds and unacceptable. No, TPTB are suggesting an third dose of vaccine instead. Speaking of vaccines, I must admit it was nice to gather with old friends last week. We were camping outside, and I think everyone was vaccinated. About thirty folks gathered at the Florida Faux Festival, and our usual cadre of ten or so camped together. Made lots of music, and I feel like I'm getting my musical feet back. We also got in an eight mile canoe trip on the Suwannee, and went to four different and unique springs along the river. It was my first real dip back into normalcy since the pandemic began in earnest March of '20, and it was as refreshing as diving in the springs.

We've got a housing crisis because environmentalists and the government are standing in the way of capitalist developers building enough homes. At least that is what many in the news media tells us.

Been a fan of masks since discovered as a small child I would not loose my place by the campfire if the t-shirt collar was pulled up to cover the nose when the smoke drifted in my direction. In severe smoke related events covered the eyes. NOTE - SHOULD NOT WALK OR RUN WHEN EYES COVERED BY SHIRT.
I have been advocating the use of a mask for several months and will continue to use one when it fits my criteria.
