"Patients are dying in corridors and pregnant women are miscarrying in side rooms as overwhelmed hospitals struggle to cope, nurses say." Failure to prevent respiratory illnesses has consequences way beyond the illnesses themselves.

While we’re talking about Covid and school closures, perhaps we could talk about why so few attempts were made to mitigate against infection in crowded and poorly ventilated classrooms. Keeping kids at school is important, but we did so little to facilitate that.

Your regular reminder that the COVID pandemic is NOT over. Please use language accordingly. Don’t refer to ‘during the pandemic’ or ‘post-COVID’ or ‘since COVID’. We are still in the thick of it - wave after wave. People are still dying or becoming disabled from Long COVID

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

This is quite the clip of Reagan and Bush debating in the 1980 Republican primary about immigration. Reagan says “we need to open the [Mexican] border both ways” rather than “putting up a fence.” Bush makes similar comments. Both would be laughed out of the GOP today. youtu.be/YsmgPp_nlok?...
