Endemic Failure: Rapid COVID Tests Don’t Work Very Well

arkady2022-02-18Politics

The cornerstone of any “endemic COVID” concept, including California’s newly-announced not-yet-a-plan, will have to be testing. Lots and lots of testing. And more effective testing than we’ve managed to do so far. For example, the local school district runs weekly…

Endemic: Just Another Word For “Giving Up”

arkady2022-02-17Culture

Newsom’s grabbing for the brass ring before the ride stops. Again. Today’s infuriating headline is “California to unveil shift to ‘endemic’ approach to coronavirus“. Endemic. So, for those of you who haven’t been paying attention, “endemic” means accepting the disease…

Don’t Stop Now: Riding the Pandemic Tiger

arkady2022-02-14Culture

It’s appropriate that we just entered The Year of The Tiger, since apparently a whole lot of folks need reminding about what “riding a tiger” means. ‘He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount’. And he damn well should be. One thing about…

Just Stop It: This “Pandemic Of The Unvaccinated” Stuff Is Nonsense

arkady2021-07-28Culture

Background: Privilege Discourse Is Incoherent

arkady2021-07-07Background

Background: You Are Responsible For Your Own Actions

arkady2021-06-17Background

I want to write about a few things like the slavery reparations movement, “critical race theory”, and USDA grants being prioritized for racial minority farmers all of which I think are wrong, but it can get complicated and there are…

Political Party Time: Ezra Klein Is Wrong About A Thing

arkady2020-11-12Politics
