September 8, 2023 F’Tang-F’Tang-Ole-Biscuit-Barrel
So if conspiracies and plagues go together like imaginary ham and real eggs, where are we now?
There are some of the classics, of course. The rise of pandemics is because God is angry at:
a) our sinful ways;
b) the persistence in the belief in evolution
and of course,
c) so many folk embracing miscegenation
Not much new about that.
Of course there’s always the return of that perennial…

Evolution of conspiracy theories: what’s science got to do with it.
There is the tradition of conspiracy theories during plague times going all the way back to the Bronze Age. The easiest explanation is it’s a desperate attempt to find an answer to why cousin Bucketta went to bed humming a happy tune and woke up dead the next day. Followed rapidly into the hereafter by the rest of Bucketta’s family including the dog.
The moon? A red sky at noon? An improperly…

May 1, 2023 Okay, it’s not for everybody…
Walking around these days everyone is pretty chill about the whole pandemic thing. In stores staff and customers wearing masks are definitely in the minority. More clerks stay masked because they are still in the respiratory droplet line of fire. Anyone who has worked with amounts of cash know money is literally filthy so it’s not a stretch to imagine the air around the people forking it over is…

April 20, 2023 What did I miss?
Sorry, got distracted by a great comet of life crashing into my world. Okay, maybe not a comet – more a matter of dealing with the pervasive fatigue attached to my ass like a helium filled boulder.
I managed stitching some paragraphs together but they lack continuity.
Sometimes within the paragraph.
Anyway, I’m sure I can winkle out some meaning from them and maybe even piece together a few…

March 18, 2023 On the Other Hand
So, the Wuhan lab theory is now being pushed aside by cute pictures of raccoon dogs. Yep, I’ve never heard of them either but as a poster animal they’ve got bats beat.
It is a critter that has been known in the past to play host to viruses capable of making the jump to people. Of course that doesn’t mean it happened in this case. Apparently some early samples of SARS-CoV-2 had trash panda puppy…

March 11, 2023 The Day The World Changed
3 years ago today, the W.H.O. officially declared the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak a pandemic.
Let the denials and body counts begin.
As previously noted, it seems like it was a lifetime ago and yesterday at the same time. It could be nicknamed COV-TARDIS SARS-2 because everyone has difficulty placing events that took place within 2 years of today’s anniversary.
I know 2023 has only clocked 3 months…

March 7, 2023 Updates, personal mostly and some extrapolating
Let’s start with the anecdotal update: I had COVID and am now declared free of the sodding little….virus. This is almost 4 weeks out from the first positive test and consistently testing negative for weeks now.
The interesting part is I felt well enough after 7 days to go out and about for a few hours at a time. The provincial guideline is it’s no longer necessary to isolate if symptoms are…

March 3, 2023 Haven’t We Moved Past This?
We now resume our regular plague journal because, contrary to popular opinion and behavior, the damn thing is thriving. Hospitalization numbers are up, fatalities still rolling along and, thanks to the new variants, vaccinations are more important than ever.
The scary thing is it is still being used as a political football instead of a public health threat.We have politicians repeating bad…

March 1, 2023 Wear a Leek, Make Some Soup, Repel a Saxon
Today is St. David’s Day. Traditionally Welsh people around the western world wear a leek—yes, the veggie that looks like a green onion with a pituitary tumour.
I’m not sure if it the tradition is still followed or if it’s become one of those commercial cultural appropriations like green everything on St. Patrick’s Day or hearts and expensive dinners on St. Valentine’s Day. On the other hand, if…

February 27, 2023 Now You’re Just Being a Pain in the Ass
Last week there was a protest in the emergency room at a local hospital. 5 people came in without masks and, even when offered one, refused. They weren’t there for any emergency assistance; just making a FB live vid cast to let the world know the good fight was still being fought in this corner of oppression that is the Canadian Medical system.
It’s my assumption there was no medical emergency…

February 22, 2023 The Long and Winding Road
So I had my first official negative test yesterday. We’ve become so casual about it now, however, I’d been working for almost a week. Each test was getting fainter and fainter but a year ago it would be enough to keep the yellow plague cross painted on the door and a box on the top step where family could leave bread, beer and toilet paper.
This is the beginning of the 3rd week since the virus…

February 20, 2023 Time
One of the common comments I’ve noticed from the people I talk to and people on various media is the difficulty in figuring out when something happened in the past 3 years.
Even saying “3 years” seems strange because, technically it was 4 years since the virus was first noted. 4 years, however is just too long ago but 3 years seems like much less.
As in
“Wasn’t that last week?”
“Nope. That…

February 17, 2023 How Did it Become a Choice?
It was inevitable. Members of the family have had COVID and a couple have had it two or three times. We seemed like the hold outs but it took a super spreader company dinner to finally break the record.
Not any of my co-workers or the pre-school Petri dishes I deal with on a regular basis. Nope. It was the folk who work with my husband. After 3 years since the last Christmas/Festivus gathering…

February 15, 2023 Picking up the Thread
COVID classic was brutal and some of the early methods of treatment were actually counter productive to the extent of increasing the damage. Despite the denials by the deliberately misinformed, the first waves of SARS-COV-2 filled up cemeteries around the world. Hospitals required refrigerated trailers to store the bodies of victims until they could be taken to mortuaries and buried or…

February 12, 2023 Cue the wavy focus transition
I’m playing catch up right now, so please be patient while I lay\some backstory and foreshadowing and other narrative conceits.
So, where was I…let see, supply chain problems, staffing shortages in every sector, health care system crumbling under the unrelenting pressures of illness and ignorance as well as the above mentioned staffing shortages (of course some might point out that was a…

October 24, 2022 Deja Vu Round 2
October 24, 2022
As winter creeps closer the advice is to keep a door or window open in classrooms, offices and any other place people hang out. Kinda hard to do in this country’s more northern climates and impossible in all those 1990’s designed buildings that are sealed like a duck top to toe.
I did hear one suggestion to keep a CO2 detector on hand. It won’t tell you if there’s any virus in the air but it…

October 10, 2022 Red Pill Or Blue?
October 10, 2022 Red Pill Or Blue?
It is news to nobody that we’re well along the road to a severely polarized society. The middle ground, the willingness to listen to the other guy and to actually discuss ideas has gone the way of the drive-in theatres and sock hops.
During the lock down, we spent a lot of time playing Alice running down rabbit holes and popping up in weird, wonderful places of imagination. It was a great…
