Current Situation: Bad & Getting Worse The charts below show a leveling off and in some cases a slight drop after Thanksgiving. This is most likely a mirage, caused by reporting delays normal for a weekend and compounded by the Thanksgiving holiday. I have not encountered a single serious epidemiologist who thinks were headed for
COVID Update – Nov. 27, 2020
First, I would like to thank everyone who read and commented on my last update. I have to say, I was totally bowled over by the response. At my age, I’m not a social media oriented guy. I deleted my FB account years ago. I have no Twitter account. I was kicked out of NextDoor

Ignorance Closes California
July 13, 2020 Well, most of it, anyway. Gov. Newsom announced today that all inside activities throughout California are being shut down. The data supports that decision. The pandemic is out of control in our state. The lowest Zorgi Score for any county in southern California is 8.2, but the average is around 13. Who
How bad is it, really? *
“Now we have tested over 40 million people. But by so doing, we show cases, 99% of which are totally harmless.” – DJ Trump, 7/4/20 “I think we are going to be very good with the coronavirus. I think that, at some point, that’s going to sort of just disappear, I hope.” – DJ Trump,
