Not too much to report on the Covid front. The new variant of Coronavirus, B117, has shown up in 33 countries, including Israel, Singapore, Denmark, and in 8 North American States so far. At the very least, the strain is more contagious, but not necessarily more deadly to those infected.
Another variant arising in South Africa is called B.1.351 or 501.V2. The Nigerian variation already shows the 501 mutation.
It seems the danger is growing. Does this movie have a good ending? I tend to watch old movies so I don't have to think about it.
A woman, hysterical, calls Hartmann's show today. She's just lost her Aunt to Covid. She, like many of us, has no patience for the Republican Party's calls for Unity, to put behind us all the loss of lives and livelihoods. "Trump needs to go to jail and the GOP need to follow him." We need to force change in America, she says through tears.
The suffering is real, and too easily dampened by the language we use to discuss it. …Or even think about it.
