MIRACLE OF MIRACLES: Part 1

Before I get into miracles, something more on this pandemic: I regularly show two graphs produced by the World Bank about COVID-19.  Their number of cases look high because they somehow include asymptomatic cases, still a relative unknown about how many there are.  Turns out that whether it's the seasonal flu or venereal disease or this mutating coronavirus, seems like they all have around 50% asymptomatic cases. The number of world deaths from Worldometer is 1.85 million ( USA 0.36 million ).  From the World Bank ( WB ), 1.86 million ( USA 0.34 million ).  The WB shows deaths continuing to increase into April, no matter what happens: For both the World and U.S., universal ( 95% ) mask-wearing would make the most difference in reducing deaths.  This is not occurring.  The projected deaths are linked to rapid rollout of vaccination.  Easing of the economy significantly increases projected deaths ( in millions ):                                      USA          World Easing mandates

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME...I'M AT PEACE

I woke up this morning with an unusual sense of peace.  Not the ultimate one we all will someday face, a lot more comforting.  The events of the past few days combined to impart a feeling that all will be well and the best is yet to come. At the top of the list is health.  All is well with me and vaccines are coming to someday end this COVID-19 pandemic.  Deliveries of the Pfizer/BioNTech version began this morning in the USA, and inoculations are in full swing in other parts of the world. Mask-wearing will still be a must for much of this year and next, but someone asked me to order this plastic thing you place between face and mask, and I found out that I could strenuously exercise with this insert.  It's called a face bracket, and, depending on where you get it , it could cost less than a dollar each.  I also h
