There’s a guy who’s been posting on various TripAdvisor forums for months about circumventing quarantine requirements in various places, including when returning to India, and then professes great astonishment when people call him out. Not surprising that a lot of people flying from India were testing positive in places like Australia and Canada, as many in all likelihood were using false tests.

Starting to get a really bad feeling about what might come from an actual independent investigation of all this.

I believe your bad feeling is unfounded. Even in the article Fauci says he still thinks it's an animal host:

Quote
“I always had an open mind,” he said, “even though I felt then, and still do, the most likely origin was in an animal host.”

And the Chinese didn't/aren't going to allow a proper investigation, so we'll probably never know if it was purely environmental, or just an escape from the lab.

What kind of fallout are you imagining?

If only you had gotten a really bad feeling when the previous occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue disabled America's pandemic response team and ignored the pandemic playbook.

The distracting kind, if he's honest with himself of course.

I know Connecticut is in a very good place.  Announced this morning we have the lowest statewide hospitalizations % since March 18, 2020.  About when the pandemic began.

It's actually been a state subject lately.  Nutmeggers is most common, but based on a swindling of Southerners from post-Civil war period.  There's also the English formal Connecticans and Connecticuters.

I assumed it was because they drank a lot of egg nog.

I always liked Connecticutians.

Care to guess what the sick and dead had in common?
A COVID-19 outbreak at a Florida county building killed 2 IT staffers and hospitalized 3 others

https://news.yahoo.com/covid-19-outbreak-florida-county-172917026.html

None of the employees who fell ill or died from COVID-19 were "elderly," he said. Hopes told the Herald he feared that the severe cases may be a result of one of the stronger variants of COVID-19.

The article says that when the building reopens, masks will be required. I thought DeSantis prohibited government offices requiring masks.

Saw a promising sign today.  I was at a major retailer today and they had a big display set up with no-touch body temp thermometers at 75% off, along with gallon jugs of disinfectant marked down to 28 cents each.

Office Depot/Office max had a pallet with hand sanitizer going for 10 cents per.  What a world.

Yeah, local distillery was offering up cases for free if you picked them up.  I'm waiting for the Bourbon to be discounted like that :)

A lot of over-production and price gouging was happening during the winter.  I saw a distillery (different distillery) selling them (trying to sell?) for $35 for a 750ml bottle.  Their booze was cheaper!

The India variant is in America.  This isn't over.

Now referred to as Delta.   If you aren't vaccinated, buckle up.
