Every time I write something in all caps and italics, I want you to read it as if I leaned way forward and stared at you with an are-you-getting-this expression. Not necessarily yelling, but maybe a little too enthuastically loud. If we had that conversation in a library, the strict librarian would shush me loudly, but the friendly librarian would roll her eyes.

“You don’t want burritos?” loud.

How exactly does 5G cause Covid?

I don’t quite get…any of it, really. I understand the flat Earth. If you go outside and look around, it looks pretty flat. But millimeter wave signals aren’t viruses.

Is the virus the hoax? It’s not a virus. It’s…low energy EMR, comparable to the background radiation and vastly less energetic than sunlight, right?

Since dead people don’t need cellphone service, what’s in it for the cellphone companies? Are they not in it for the money?

AT&T isn’t in it for the money? Comcast, Verizon, and COMCAST aren’t in it for the money?

Comcast.

Comcast isn’t in it for the money.

Comcast.

Just so I’m clear, COMCAST isn’t doing something for the money?

…

Comcast.

Anyway, I’m very confused, and after searching some conspiracy theory websites I still don’t get the crux of the theory. I’m also probably on a government watch list.

Oh, also, quick shout out to all the actors in Europe, Africa, South America, everywhere really, who were willing to take one for the team and fake Covid to take out some American politicians. You did yeoman’s work supporting an anti-government conspiracy against someone else’s government. Top notch dedication everyone. What exactly is in it for you, if you don’t mind me asking? Do y’all get free 5G cellphone service? Is that the connection? Free internet?

Is it Comcast?

I really liked Carlos from the 2006 Casino Royale. That guy was excellent.

North is up

Pool’s open. That’s nice.

Sometimes, when life gets me down and I need a little pick-me-up, I go stand outside in the rain to let a stranger stick a Q-tip up my nose. It’s just what I do. They swirl it around for a little while. Some are steady-handed, and some get a little squirrelly. Those swabbings wake me up like coffee never will.

I can’t take that away from the medical professionals. They look so happy to be in a little tent for eight hours a day, swaddled to the gills, and spending hours of their lives sticking Q-tips up noses. I feel like we have a bond, and that really keeps me going.

The ice cream place on Pearl St lists their hours as

Sun – Thu: 10am – 10pm

Fri – Sat: 10am – 10pm

Sorta weird.

As things stand right now, I’m scheduled to get the Covid vaccine sometime in the summer.

Let me begin with: okay. If that’s the way it is, getting a vaccine within a year and a half of vaccine research starting is amazing. No complaints.

There are some rumors floating around that vaccines may be opened to everyone sooner. The train of logic is that only vaccinating the most at risk adds a choke point, so in order to get the most doses into arms, vaccinating everyone who might want it may be faster. More vaccinations lead to fewer deaths, hospitalizations, and infections, in order of importance, so open vaccinations might be safer for those at the highest risk than giving it to the highest risk population exclusively. While 90% vaccination/infection rates may be required for herd immunity, how significant are the damping factors of 10% herd immunity? 20%? 30%?

This is all speculation though. We don’t know, and the information to make these estimates as more that WAGs doesn’t exist. We also don’t know how significant that choke point is. Can we vaccinate the most at risk and other people without slowing down vaccinations for the high risk populations? I read a lot of people arguing with each other over this and don’t really think anyone knows. I don’t. In the US, the vaccine has been available for about a month. That isn’t a whole lot of time to extrapolate best practices for 330 million-ish people.

On an unrelated note, don’t you think the Underarmor athletic mask looks like a jockstrap for your face?

I take all of this back.

Never speak of them. Never give them attention. They hear, and they will work destruction upon you.

Nalgene bottles don’t really wear out. One lasts until you leave it in someone’s car or drop it off a ski lift.

Sometimes you can ride the lift line and look for the bottle. I’ve never found one again.
