    Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

    Jackson, Mississippi has a water crisis because our state legislature has a race problem
    The state's condescension to and contempt for the city's Black leaders isn't new and wasn't earned. But it is the root cause of this current disaster.

      Considering you have the money to invest in cryptocurrency, you probably make too much before taxes to qualify.

          It has been a few weeks now since the Super Bowl with people crowding any place they could with a large screen TV or 2 or 3 to watch. No masks, no distancing, no surge in infections so far and in is now well past the incubation period.

                            I haven't checked on Canada in a few days. Let's see how they're doing.






                            Growing number of Canadians say Trudeau doing 'bad job' on vaccine rollout even as pace quickens

                            Respondents living in Alberta were most critical, with 71 per cent saying Trudeau did a bad job.





                            The survey by Maru Public Opinion, commissioned by the National Post,

                            However, public opinion could always shift back should the Liberals meet or exceed their current targets, he said.

                                Almost a third of people with 'mild' Covid-19 still battle symptoms months later, study finds


                                It's been almost a year since Michael Reagan, 50, came down with Covid-19.

                                "I woke up first thing in the morning and I felt really hot and out of breath," he said, recalling the morning of March 22, 2020. "I went into the bathroom trying to catch my breath, and I immediately coughed up blood into the sink. ... I ended up in the hospital that day and tested positive for Covid."
                                Reagan said he spent two months in and out of the hospital last spring, with acute Covid-19.

                                But for as hard as that was, what he's been through since could be considered just as bad, if not worse: His current symptoms include constant pain in his chest, painful nerve pain in his hands and legs, seizures, tremors, and the loss of vision in one eye.

                                "Since then it has been a roller coaster," he said, with ups and downs, new symptoms, a whole series of doctors, medications and tests.

                                "I realized that I have a lot of damage from Covid and it's changed my life completely," he said. He has not been able to return to anything near the active life he enjoyed before.

                                Unlike Reagan, when 34-year-old Stephanie Condra got sick with Covid-19 last summer, she didn't have to be hospitalized. Her symptoms were comparatively mild: fatigue, shortness of breath, stomach pain and cramping, and a low-grade fever.

                                But, after it appeared she had recovered from her acute illness, Condra says she began developing a wide array of health problems that that waxed and waned but did not clear up: terrible sinus pain, nausea and loss of appetite, bone-crushing fatigue, dizziness, a burning sensation in her chest, a dry cough, brain fog, confusion, concentration issues and problems with word retrieval.

                                "My symptoms are constantly evolving. I get the same symptoms again and again, and it's like one will kind of disappear and then others will come up," she explained.

                                While Condra said she started getting better at the beginning of 2021, she describes her progress as slow and halting. "I'm really only able to function for maybe, tops, like four hours during a day," she said.

                                More than a year into the pandemic, what has become abundantly clear is that SARS-CoV-2 -- the virus that causes Covid-19 -- is a tricky virus: Some people aren't aware they're infected at all, while others are hospitalized and some die. And a growing group of people get sick and then never fully recover. In support groups, they sometimes refer to themselves as long-haulers; their condition is alternately called long Covid, continued Covid, post-Covid syndrome or post-acute Covid syndrome.
