Reflections on coronavirus death counting and a new appellation for the Dictator.

Yeah, the lockdowns really helped people feel confident about the economy and go out and spend and create jobs.

I get upset about absurd lockdown proposals for a reason.

An unimaginable suggestion that we lockdown even harder, for no good reason, and with a completely blase attitude toward the harms that would result.

Hmmm, not all is well in mask land, and a few other research items.

Nothing is apparently too clueless for a politician to say.

Some graphs that depict trends in cases, hospitalizations and deaths with a different scale for deaths to display relative change better, thanks to some readers.

Some random items, with the school and child debate in particular rolling on.

How dumb does the state think we are? Apparently pretty dumb.

A few research pieces, covering topics of current interest.

Still a number of unanswered questions around our new BFF, which isn't going away, ever.

Absolutely nothing to be concerned about in Minnesota's non-epidemic.

A potpourri for your afternoon perusal.

There is a curious surge in published research attempting to suggest that children are a major problem in the epidemic. Wonder what or who could be behind that?

Despite my anger at the mis-information spread by politicians, and others, I will try to be balanced about the mask issue.
