    Can we send ammunition to Ukraine and to prove we are fair, send her to the Russian army?

    Went out after work to hang in Manhattan Beach...almost felt normal.

    Restaurants and bars full.
    Live music
    People socializing

    Still weird, LA hasn't been like this forever.

    If you include one by mouth, I've had at least three and maybe four doses of polio medicine.
    Did it have to be you?

    Lone cyclist deliberately holds up People's Convoy as it continues to make loops of DC Beltway demanding end to all COVID rules and removal of BLM mural on road leading to White House
    • The convoy now consists of about 100 trucks with some pickups and vans
    • The roving protest against COVID-19 restrictions is still affecting traffic in DC
    • On Friday, organizers called on the crowd to remove the large Black Lives Matter sign painted on a street near the White House
    • One said the protest wouldn't end until the Biden administration does, as organizers face accusations that their list of demands has become bloated
    • COVID rules continue to disappear, with LA lifting its mask mandate for students and Hawaii the only state with an indoor mask mandate

    "Dammit Bob, there are no more mask mandates to protest, what are we going to do?

    I've got it, we'll complain about black people!"

    Fauci says US unlikely to see surge from new COVID-19 variant

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cn...-covid-cases-due-to-new-bapoint2-variant.html

    Health experts predict uptick in U.S. Covid cases due to new BA.2 variant


    KEY POINTS
    • U.S. health experts are warning a highly contagious Covid omicron variant, called BA.2, could soon lead to another uptick in domestic coronavirus cases.
    • Officials such as White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci say BA.2 is about 50% to 60% more transmissible than omicron, but it does not appear to be more severe.
    • The variant is estimated to account for about 25% or 30% of new cases in the U.S

    As usual. If the experts’ predictions span the entire spectrum of possible outcomes then naturally one of them will be correct and we can all conclude “the experts were right”

    This is actually pretty clear. We will see an increase, though probably not a surge.

    If we get a surge then they will have been wrong. Note, they are not saying there will definitely not be a surge. It's just not likely.
