QUICKHITTERS

·       When I say this is a fascinating article it may say more about me than the study.  In the linked article the author takes on bogus scientific studies and shows how his own purposefully crazy study results were accepted by some.  A good article to read as we follow the science.  The road to good science has some potholes.

·       Russia stopped gas shipments to Poland and Bulgaria because they refused to pay in rubles.  Their contracts called for dollars.

·       Germany will finally ship anti-aircraft tanks to Ukraine.

·       The Congo has an outbreak of Ebola.  Now that is a disease that scares the hell out of me.  A nasty infectious blood disease that seems to pop up from time to time.

I review an exchange between Senator Rand Paul and Secretary of State Blinken and anticipate that Senator Paul will be taken out of context.

I mention a MSNBC expressing concerns that liberals will be treated on Twitter the way they have applauded Twitter treating conservatives in the past.  OK, he did not say that nor did I but that is the essence and I’m sure I will have more on this in the future.

The CDC indicates that US blood tests showed in February almost 58% of Americans had been infected with Covid-19.  

And Dr. Fauci is quoted as saying that for the United States, the pandemic is over.  I share a few of my thoughts and suggest we party tonight.
