How’ve you been? I @‘d you weeks ago when I noticed you hadn’t been around. Got me a little worried for you
happy to see your back.
fine, thanks for asking.
i hope all is well with you and your family. i couldnt get online at all since the internet cafes are/were closed, and i dont own a phone.
I believe the numbers are lower then they actually are. (Did I give you a heart attack yet?)
no, because although you usually side with the leftist mentality, you throw a lot of curve balls. i am never sure what your take on any given issue will be. that, of course, is a good thing.
I don’t even try to guess because I have no first hand information about what’s going on there.
i submit this for your consideration:
i came back from overseas. there was a big religious demonstration where a prophet walked through the country with a cross, promising to remove the curse of corona. hjs religious walk brought him ultimately to a major city.
although i do believe in the power of prayer and belief, i thought with this charlatan leading this demonstration, it was ridiculous. the street was densely packed with people, shoulder to shoulder-- at least 3000 people; could have been 6000 judging from the photos. many had no masks, never mind social distancing. police tried to break it up to no avail as the people pushed back against them and were forced to back down (i loved it).
after this demonstration, i monitored the daily public health bulletin, watching the number of cases. with thousands on the street, i think there was 31 total cases in the entire province after two weeks.
one could make the argument that those who could be sick wont go to be tested, but that number should be offset by the gross inaccuracy of the tests.
