NYC, like many cities, compiles flu data from all ERs to help track flu season. Below are patients presenting for Influenza Like Illness (ILI) over the past 6 months. Notice flu season peaks and then recedes.

Then right at March 1, it begins to shoot back up dramatically. Image
There’s very good reason to believe the overwhelming majority of those cases are Covid-19. And that terrifying spike is likely a more accurate track of the disease’s growth than the still-limited testing.
(Also this data is put in by healthcare professionals assessing patients so it’s almost certainly not a psychosomatic effect of Coronavirus fears.)

I've been thinking alot about what a left/liberal approach to the question of Pulic Order would look like, because I think it's a pretty missing part of the conversation.
I write a bit about this in A Colony in a Nation, but recently I've come to think of it as the Smoker on the Subway Platform problem. If you say to me, do you want the cops to confront and arrest someone who is smoking on the subway platform? I would say, Absolutely not!
And if you say: the two options are: a) the cops confront and arrest him or b) nothing, I'll opt for nothing. But also, it seems eminently reasonable to say "I don't really want people smoking on the subway platform."

The Covid discourse is weird and nasty because I think it just absolutely sucks to go through two years of a pandemic. But one thing that feels weird now is that the winning side in the "get back to normal" debate seems very angry about losing the debate even though they won?
I mean things are not back to normal because there's still a very active, highly transmissible, infectious disesase that's getting people sick and killing 2000 people a day. But from a policy perspective, the vast vast majority of stuff is open, including schools.
And I'll say I think that's roughly correct, policy-wise. Large scale NPI's - particularly closures - are not really on the table for good reason. Vaccinating and boosting 80+% of the population should be the priority along with...

Every time I watch a bit more of Get Back, all I want to do it is talk about it all day!
A few random thoughts: one is that the playfulness and wit of the band, was at the core of their appeal from the very beginning. Something Epstein himself said, but really comes through here.
Also, man could they sign a tight, effortless harmony.

This our level best attempt to lay out - action by corrupt action - the coup attempt *just as it relates to Georgia*. There is a lot. They tried and tried, and tried some more. They came at it in every way they could think.
I would say if you found this useful or clarifying, please share it!
They
- forced an audit

- tried to intimidate the governor into calling a special session

- tried to intimidate the SoS into “finding” the votes to win

- tried to get the US Attorney to announce voter fraud investigations…

I think the basics here are incredibly straightforward: the big thrust of the Biden campaign was "back to normal" and things...aren't back to normal!
I don't really think that's Biden's fault at all. And it's more than a little infuriating to watch Republicans hand off a once-in-a-lifetime crisis to the Democratic successor for the second time in the last 12 years, and then make political hay off the misery.
But the bottom line is this: if thins are...like this 11 months from now Democrats will get annihilated no matter what their legislative accomplishments or messaging are.

It's very obvious that the "sanctity of life" is the unifying ethos of modern conservatism no matter which particular area of policy you look. Just one big ol' seamless garment, really.
Good thing the Covid-super-spreader party for the Pro Life justice didn't kill anyone! (That we know of)
Also so grateful all the president's buddies got the (at that time hard to get) monoclonal antibody treatment while hundreds of thousands died lonely terrifying deaths gasping for air and saying good bye to their loved ones on iPads.
