Mojo is 15 years old today! A few weeks ago we didn’t think he’d make it but he’s just fine other than his back end being weak and skinny. Today is also the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Most kids probably don’t even know what that is. Sad.
Jag’s car needs to go to Glenwood for an estimate today. Lori and I both threw our backs out yesterday morning but I’ll probably need to take it as he needs to study for finals. A big part of his birthday and Christmas will be getting his car fixed.
The Bronco’s almost won. In the end, almost means nothing but they did play better against the Super Bowl Champs.
We should probably get tested for covid although they now say 90% of all tests are false positives. Turns out the cycle threshold skews the tests by amplifying the markers too much. In short this means anything you have in your body, if multiplied enough, will show a positive. Take a molecule of anything, any dormant gene we all have, and then multiply it by 50 an it’ll appear you have the virus. Problem is it’s not multiplied in your body to that extent and the virus is basically dead or dormant. As of yesterday all States but one use any cycle threshold they want which is creating all these false positives. Finally yesterday Florida became the first State to require that labs write down the CT they use on all tests. Now this doesn’t mean some people aren’t getting really sick but it does mean the millions of people the news say have it, don’t.
They say in the U.S. we have 15 million cases with 285,000 deaths which is a fatality rate of .019 percent. And this figure assumes every case they say is covid is covid which we know is not true. Right now almost anyone that dies from anything is blamed on covid so let’s say the number is only halfway wrong which I think is still too high. Then the death rate is .0009. Pretty low. Yet some States, all run by democrats, are locking down all businesses and activity based on these numbers. People are rebelling, even Sherriff’s in California are refusing to enforce lockdowns. You can’t have the cure be worse than the disease. What’s the point?
Now on to the vaccine. 55% of New York Fire Fighters say they won’t take it. What’s that tell you? The Pizer vaccine is making women sterile and has other serious side effects including death. Hmm. Think we’ll wait a while before getting it. More to come here but scientists around the World are raising alarms saying the vaccine is not ready. Surprise surprise.
So there you have it. The takeaway is you still want to be safe, wash your hands, get good sleep and eat right. Vitamins like C and D help too, especially in Winter. If you’re old or have a disease, just like in flu season, avoid crowds where germs spread more easily. That’s it, hang in there, God Bless.
