I wasn't around her this past 2 weeks, luckily. She is sick, lost taste and smell, but otherwise just fatigued.

Hope she / he recovers fast

Looking like this administration doing a complete 180 on covid origin investigation. They didn't want any investigation into China Wuhan lab, now they do. Don't think it'll do any good though doubt China will cooperate and doubt current pres will administer any consequences if they don't.

Even Dr Fauci 180, Yahoo News;
May 2020, Fauci told National Geographic: "What’s out there now is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated."
But this May, he flip-flopped.
When asked by a Politifact reporter if he was still confident that COVID-19 developed naturally, he said: "No, actually no, I’m not convinced about that."

Several months ago, a group of investigators from Europe went to Wuhan to find out more. They did not get permission to see everything they wanted to see and came back disillusioned and without answers.

They were only allowed to see what the Chinese government wanted them to see.

Massachusetts has dropped nearly all restrictions and mandates related to the coronavirus. Yesterday DD and I went shopping and kept our masks handy. Stores are requesting un vaccinated people to please wear a mask, otherwise wearing a mask is optional. I wore a mask in the first store we went to, the second I went maskless until the mass of unruly, unmasked children started pinging off the walls. We left that store quickly. Things are getting a bit closer to the old normal, but I'm still be cautious.

Apperently in France, someone is trying to pay influencers to be anti vaccine.

Do you really think this is only happening in France?

Nope. I see stuff all the time that I think is meant to divide and conquer.

It was so weird going into a store the other day and I forgot my mask in the car so rna back to get it only to discover no one else was wearing one not even the employees. There were a couple customers that were and I had mine on at first but then I felt awkward and took it off. I would’ve rather worn it or at least just am so used to wearing it but I felt dumb I know some stores though are still requiring people to wear them or requesting rather
