Fake News

 I was sitting and reading through NBC news this morning, and they hyped that German quickie-Covid tests were now under $1 in Germany.  

Well...NO, I can assure you they are NOT under $1.

I priced them at my local grocery just last week.....2.99 Euro....which is roughly $3.50.

Maybe if you went to the drug store and priced up a box of 50 of them.....you might get a deal of roughly 2.40 Euro (around $3) each.  But there's just no one around selling them for .80 Euro-cents (around $1).

Fake News again.

Plain Blunt Truth

 One can say over the past hundred days....Covid has ramped-up (beyond anything that existed in the same period of 2020), and it should not make sense unless the immunization business is just marginally changing the landscape.

But there is another blunt truth here....if you've lived a pretty marginal health situation (low Vitamin D levels, fatty food, done some drug activity, and a list of probably 25 additional things)....then your bout of Covid is probably going to be more severe than most regular people.  

I look at Bama news almost daily, and the tales of 'woe' flow like the Tennessee River.  There's probably half-a-million residents of the state praying for some neighbor, relative or associate every single night.  

Last week, we reached the point where a regular guy had a serious heart issue....begging for entry into forty-odd hospitals in the state, and not a single one had a ICU bed for the poor guy.  As they were transporting him 'out-of-state' (to Mississippi)....he passed on (not from Covid, mind you).

All of this prior to serious fall weather, when Covid will really pick up?  Yeah, that's the problem I see coming now.
