That, in the header, is Jessica Wildfire's take. She notes that vaccine protection is continuing to wane, that more and more people have long COVID, that children appear more vulnerable that first thought, and more. The header for this week comes from that.
Also posted in the regular Texas Progressives Roundup for this week, I looked at political COVID hacks connected to Judge Mazelle's mask mandate ruling.
Your Local Epidemiologist talks ventilation and filtration on airplanes.
Speaking of six, Stat has a great piece with six questions and issues about what's next with COVID.
Xi Jinping Thought's zero-COVID lockdowns may have turned the tide in Shanghai, though more than 4 million there are still locked down, even as fears that Beijing will be next loom, and the lockdown has caused China's biggest productivity loss since the start of the pandemic. I'm not excusing Status Quo Joe Biden for the US economic contraction in the first quarter, but it clearly is at least in part not his fault. (Rising gas prices, in part over stepped-up poking of Russia with the NATO sharp stick, connected to Putin's invasion, ARE Biden's fault.) And, this is another callout to actual and alleged left-liberals and leftists, like Walker Bragman, Adam Tooze, Howie Hawkins and Margaret Flowers to stop being Xi Jinping Thought stanners. Neoliberals on the capitalist take like Max Blumenthal, and real tankies like Rainier Shea, are in another class altogether.
