Wow. Lots to unpack. I watched Bari last night on Bill Mahar. A very stimulating

Covid discussion. But one part seems left out and that is the stress on our health care system. Why are cancer and other treatments being delayed long past when they are needed. Because while this strain of a Covid is far less likely to result in a serious illness my understanding is if your vaccinated you are 90% less likely to be hospitalized. But what about the 10%. Seems to me if the vaccination rates were what they should be many of these issues would have resolved.

The point about restaurants and masks is right on point. It’s ridiculous that staff has to be masked . But I have no issue with being carded when going inside to a restaurant or venue. Is it perfect? No. But does it help? Hard to believe it doesn’t. People don’t really complain about being carded do order a drink. So what’s the issue . After the Tree Of Life massacre in Pittsburgh Bari wrote one of the most consequential and poignant columns I have ever read. I think this falls well short of that.
