  1. School Admins are First!

    Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's children withdrawn from school after administrators raised concerns about adherence to Covid precautions

    “In the wake of the complaints and requests to change their behavior -- to do things like wear face masks, social-distance and self-quarantine if exposed to someone with the virus -- Kushner and Trump withdrew their children”

    Hoping all good things are possible after the evaluation. Good for you being a non-anxious presence for your Mom, meanwhile.

  3. MOM UPDATE:

    So far today, little to report (which is a good thing, I suppose). Mom had a quiet night. This morning she is confused and agitated. Wasn't able to finish her oatmeal. Right now she's resting.

  6. Why COVID-19 is surging in California and the Bay Area [Click] “Private gatherings, especially when moved indoors and without masks, seem to be a primary cause.”

  7. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome [Click] One out of 5,000 people, almost all women? So one out of 2,500 women? That’s very common for a genetic disorder.

  8. White men swung to Biden. Trump made gains with black and Latino voters. Why? [Click] “Minorities and women – the very people who are supposed to be central to the Democratic coalition – seem to have shifted in Trump’s direction this year.” Continuing an existing pattern; the question of why is not addressed in the column.

    1. Because. . .Chad Wolf was not legally serving as acting Homeland Security secretary when he signed rules limiting DACA applications and renewals. Maybe there are some more examples of rules changes by illegal Trump administration appointees.

    1. If it were only themselves they were killing off, one might say 'good riddance'. Unfortunately, they take the rest of us down with them.

    2. Quite so. Some of them at least carry on about how being obliged to wear masks and maintain social separation violates their freedom; did blackouts during WWII violate people's freedom? (It took much longer than it should have for cities along the East Coast of the US to adopt blackouts; until they did, blacked out ships were outlined by city lights and very easy for German submarines to sink.)
