Coronavirus Week 113: Odds and ends

Meet Dr. Leana Wen, COVID ConservaDem careerist. Is it too harsh to say that the Biden Administration has its own version of "let 'er rip"? I'm not sure. The argument against the "cases don't matter" stance says it maybe does have a "let 'er rip" lite. On the other hand, as I blogged a couple of weeks ago and as numbers continue to support, COVID is becoming less and less deadly. That's especially true if the "cases don't matter" have trickled down to local hospitals, as I also blogged a couple of weeks ago.

NIH is inexplicably slow in handing out grants to study issues related to Long COVID. Guess if you don't "find" it, it doesn't exist? See "Gulf War syndrome," "Agent Orange syndrome" and more.

Delayed positives, after early negatives, despite being apparently symptomatic, is the latest new thing with COVID and seems to be Omicron-specific. The Atlantic looks at what it means.

The World Health Organization still things the lab-leak hypothesis is realistic enough it wants it investigated further. China responded with a propaganda barrage, saying maybe it leaked from Fort Detrick.
