The most common type of testing for COVID-19 is the PCR test. That’s where they take a swab from way deep in your nose, multiply whatever they find by one TRILLION and then look to see if they can detect the virus. I’m not an immunologist but I am someone
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If someone copies or emulates you, then that person is paying you their highest compliment. America is often called a “melting pot” because we assimilate the cultures brought here by immigrants. Assimilating cultures is extremely American. It’s what we do.
A few weeks back an “anonymous source” supposedly told The Atlantic that President Trump called dead military personnel “suckers and losers” at a recent event. Shortly thereafter, people who had been with the President at the event said that they never heard him utter those words or show disrespect to

COVID testing is a huge business and people are making fortunes from performing the tests. But, any information that can be gleaned from testing is practically useless. Unfortunately, politicians use that faulty, and misleading data to make decisions that impact everyone. Politicians are using the number of positive tests to
The more I think about it, the more I have a problem with people thinking they’re better than someone else because they wear a mask whenever they go outside. Presumably to protect others. Trigger Warning: For those of you who are apparently upset by logic and reason, I’m going to
All life isn’t precious. Maybe a more accurate statement is that all lives aren’t equally precious. Don’t get mad at me. I came to that conclusion by watching you. I’ll explain. The argument is that we should all wear masks and social distance because we need to prevent the spread
