Oh honestly I don't care about Meghan Markle and the Royal Family. I wish them all well. It must be a horrible life.
I enjoy watching "The Crown" because it offers an interesting cross-section of history. But I find the personal dimension just so banal and sad.
They are a family that is as mixed up as most families are, except they live in a fish bowl and we all get to watch - and judge.

The ISM Manufacturing Index rose +2.1 points in February to 60.8, a strong continued recovery reading and its highest level since February 2018.
New orders in manufacturing rose +3.7 points in February to 64.8, indicating continued momentum, and employment rose +1.8 points to an expansionary 54.4. Prices shot up +3.9 points to 86.0, which is why you may be hearing people express concern over inflationary pressure.
US manufacturers are reporting serious supply chain constraints and rising prices. "Supply chains are depleted ... overall capacities are full ... prices are going up, and lead times are growing longer by the day."

1. Someone today asserted to me, citing NIH, that during the 1918 flu pandemic, most people actually died of bacteria pneumonia - which, he said, they got from wearing masks. This is gravely misleading, and deserves an explanation.
2. It is true that most people who died during the 1918 epidemic died of bacterial pneumonia - as a secondary infection brought on by the influenza virus. At first, this confused researchers, who thought bacteria might be the root cause. But the root cause was the virus.
3. How do we know it wasn't masks? Because thousands of people were getting sick, turning blue, and dying of massive bacterial pneumonia within 48 hours, well before anyone even thought to put on masks.
