Covid-2019 - 2021-09-09

Now it's official: the Delta case-wave is cresting. The proof: politicized over-reaction (it always comes right at the top). Today 80% of US adults are either vaccinated or recovered from previous infections. Yet yesterday our president joined the ignoble roster of over-reactors with divisive mandates and angry rhetoric aimed at the remaining vaccine-hesitant minority, a group defined in reality along racial lines as much as any other. He says the scientists approve of boosters, but at the same time he says they haven't approved them. The word "I" is used 33 times, "me" 7 times and "my" 15 times. The government's failed response to Covid is now a multi-administration bipartisan affair. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
