I wonder if this a “leak” to drive up vax numbers.
It’ll be interesting to see if it gets approval.

I lost hope that folks could work together at the beginning of this.

Now it sucks to realize that most folks probably can’t survive a grind backwards.....

COVID: New restrictions set in - will Israel go into lockdown?

Earlier Tuesday, the Israeli Health Ministry announced that both vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers coming to Israel from the US and 17 other countries will need to quarantine for 2 weeks starting Aug. 10.

The JPost also reported that the Health Ministry has opened the door to a possible lockdown this fall if hospitalizations and deaths increase.


Also on Tuesday, Gantz announced that an additional 1K reservists will be called back to support the ministry’s activities related to the pandemic. Soldiers are employed for several logistical activities. And an additional 500 medics are going to be recruited to assist the Health Ministry’s vaccination efforts.

Tokyo reports 4,166 new coronavirus cases, the biggest one-day increase on record

Yeah. I don’t believe the zero death bs.

They have a 3.something positivity rate. They just had two crests that barely just came down.

And their population is 10 million.

Maybe the deaths are among "Swedes" who don't do official

It’s kind of creepy.... their excess deaths are actually below normal.

Yeah. That would be awesome.... but given what we know about this virus.... that makes this puzzle officially smelly. Like fish paste in a tube.

Tedros....

"Accordingly, WHO is calling for a moratorium on boosters until at least the end of September, to enable at least 10% of the population of every country to be vaccinated"

Medical resources grinding.

For some strange reason, the theme song to Titanic just started playing in my head...

Give it another 4 weeks. Iowa is aiming to out do Florida.

They see what’s happening. And yet.... The show must go on!

Ready for a little uncovid, unprepper news?

I bought a totally unplanned item the other day for mental health. Mine!

We had to replace a microphone for the post and the only place that had them was one of the music stores in town. While Mr. TB was getting that, I was looking at the keyboards. I'm SO out of practice, since I had to leave my upright grand and gramma's big church organ in Texas. I haven't even touched a keyboard in several years.

Most of what they had were either beginner levels or performance keyboards. Neither of which would I use much. They had a Yamaha P-125 for a very decent price, so it followed me home. It's sitting on my kitchen table right now because I have to move some furniture around to put it in the corner I want it in. That's my project for the next couple of days.

I asked the store owner if I didn't buy it now, how long would it take to get another in. He said that it would be at least 6 months. After going through that with other things I ordered last year, I bought it off the floor. The very best part is I also got a good set of headphones so I can play to my heart's content and not bother anyone!

I know it's not the latest and greatest, but I love the touch and sound. I'm not professional anymore and won't be. This is enough and as long as there is electricity, I'm good.
