an idiot darkly

The Covid virus continues to support mathematical rules, which is bad news for a nation that denies objectivity and logic. As of this post, the death toll in the U.S. exceeds 122,00. A grim prediction that I made several months ago was that nursing home populations would be decimated. That prediction has been borne out---and may eventually turn out to be wrong by a factor of 2.

The way forward, in the context of current leadership, continues to be unpredictable. Florida is in trouble, along with a significant number of other Southern states. The Northeast continues the reopening experiment. It will be a long summer.
