Exactly. Mostly. But you summed it up exactly-correctly. 🙂

Meanwhile, Trump is still misleading people (imo) about how we’ve been doing the best testing in the world, “even better than South Korea”, and then mentioning we have a low caseload per capita compared with other countries. What’s misleading…[Read more]

This is not rocket science. Either a month long real lockdown followed by extensive testing/contact tracing across the globe or an effective vaccine that almost everyone gets. Otherwise this is just gonna be rolling hotspots (possibly seasonal) and economic disaster indefinitely until multitudes of infections and deaths result in high population immunity.

COVID-19 (Viral Load) Testing

16 April, Trump claimed we’ve now performed more tests per capita than South Korea. Incredulous, I checked, and sure enough he’s not significantly incorrect.

It happened to me once so I now type anything longer than a few sentences in Word and then copy and paste it. The downside to this is that hyperlinks I embed in the word document (sometimes about 30 of them in Sunday School) are not transferred over and the same is true for any formatting such as italics or bold type.
