Russian propaganda is pushing the narrative that there are US-funded biohazard labs in Ukraine (that doesn't mean it's necessarily not true). Funny how Russia never complained that there were US-funded biohazard labs in China (that doesn't mean it's necessarily not true, either).

Let us get this straight. Mask mandates are being dropped everywhere. But you still have to wear a mask on an airplane to travel between places where you don't have to wear a mask. Right? Follow The Science!

You just can't make this stuff up. Yesterday Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland admitted under questions from Senator Marco Rubio that "Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces, should they approach." The Chinese, of course, have expressed grave concern (as well they might). That and more in Recommended Reading today.

There are still well more than 1,000 Covid deaths reported every day in the US. But the media has decided not to rub our nose in it, so it doesn't exist. We've moved on to even juicier stories with which to excite and entertain the masses.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis makes it official "Curtain Close on Covid Theater," an expert roundtable bringing together the truly science-guided policies that got his state through the crisis more elegantly than any other.

Starting today, we are excluding Hong Kong from our counts of new cases, fatalities and case-fatality rates in China. Seen that way, China is showing a rise in cases to levels not seen since early 2020, but still very low. And they still claim not a single death for 175 days.

For the first time, in our first chart on Page One, US/Mexico/Canada is at the very bottom among continents for new daily cases. Just 29,668. Yes, that's "the Sunday effect" with spotty reporting. But it's Sunday everywhere in the world as far as we know.

After months and months of China apparently being mostly unaffected by all but the initial wave of Covid, cases there are now surging with the highest velocity in the world -- but it's all Hong Kong. At least according to the official numbers! Meanwhile, US vaccinations have pretty much ground to a halt with 76% of the population "immunized."

In Recommended Reading, a link to video of Saturday Night Live's send-up of masking madness. We're old enough to remember when SNL was really daring and edgy. And what's sad about this, now, is that they probably still think still are, taking on something the New York and Hollywood elites still find controversial, even when the center of opinion on all this silliness has long ago moved on.
