"In Marin County now almost everybody is so nervous about the Omicron variant Covid. They’re almost isolation. It got almost better and then it got worse…… Omicron. We were almost no masks…. late year 2021. If you talk to somebody and you’re about six feet…… if you move your mask a little bit….. a person get nervous they’ll actually get three steps for ten feet….. This is why people get anxious death….. too much paranoid …….. I tell people 'six feet is fine'." by Tbob
******************************************************
This from the New York Times this morning about Omicron after an article comparing the infection and hospitalization curves of people with and without vaccines.
I've seen some of it. You can find it but I don't have the NYT account.

Tonight we had had Italian dry salami, pasta, squash, green salad and orange wedges. The orange was from our yard. Delicious. The squash was from our yard and is some heirloom variety from Sonora, Mexico. Delicious. Basil from the yard went into the sauce for the pasta, along with garlic, EVOO and parmesan cheese. The Italian dry salami was from Boar's Head. Not everything can be local. Flavor must be partly mental. Knowing that so much of the dinner was from our half-acre made it particularly tasty for me. Every time I check out the food..... I loved cooking prepare eating And I loved the veges/fruits in PV Mexico - heirloom tomatoes, oranges, avocados and the bacon as well

A crush of patients infected with the omicron variant is sending health systems in some parts of the country into crisis mode. Some states have started triaging medical care as the influx of sick people stretches staff to the limit. Others are halting elective surgeries, reducing the number of nurses caring for patients, or turning some people away.
As the omicron variant surges, parents are struggling once again with a wave of school and day-care shutdowns. Many have been through this before, navigating patchworks of testing protocols, quarantines and remote classes while juggling their own full-time jobs. But it's different this time, especially for single mothers and low-income parents, some of whom say they've been forced to choose between going to work and staying home to care for their kids.

'Comedian Bob Saget, the star of the popular television sitcom “Full House” and a popular act on the standup circuit, was found dead yesterday in an Orlando hotel room. He was 65. There appeared to be no obvious cause of death. Saget was in Florida on a tour of performances. The ABC sitcom that made Saget a star ran for eight years starting in 1987. It featured, among others, the child twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in one role. He later became familiar to a second generation of sitcom fans on CBS's "How I Met Your Mother" as narrator and the voice of Ted Mosby. He also hosted “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” The comedian was married only in 2018 to Kelly Rizzo, 42, who has a travel and food website called “Eat Travel Rock TV.” Saget was mostly known, at least on television, for being squeaky clean. He once said, "I am basically just a nine-year-old boy that evolved." But he could play “blue” as well. He was in the movie "The Aristocrats" about the competition among comics to tell the filthiest version of one of the dirtiest jokes known to the business.' by Rooney Report

Afternoon & morning brethren
“The Ravens of the Tower of London are a group of at least six captive ravens that live on the Tower of London. Their presence is traditionally believed to protect The Crown and the Tower; a superstition holds that "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it." There are currently seven ravens at the Tower today (the required six plus one spare!). To prevent the birds flying away, one of their wings is clipped by the Ravenmaster. By unbalancing their flight it ensures that they don’t stray too far from the Tower.”
I have a lot of things to do.
Enjoy your days

Life Doesn’t Wait
The breath waits for no one. It just keeps coming and going, coming and going. It will not stop for you. Just like the river will not stop—it flows and flows, it doesn’t wait—so it is with our lives. They just keep going.
Guo Jun, “Zen’s Seven Wonders”

January 6, 2022 Vol. 11, No. 4 _____________________________________________ The Quiet Coup: One year since the Capitol insurrection, law enforcement is on alert this morning for a repeat of the attempted coup against the government of the United States. It’s a year late. A coup, if there is to be one, will come with guns and legislation. The full depths of danger to democracy that day have yet to be plumbed. We still don’t know everything about who was behind it and how it happened, not just on the Capitol steps, but in the Oval Office of the White House. Now, the House January 6th investigating committee is asking to question former Vice President Mike Pence, who was called upon by Donald Trump to reject certification of the Electoral College vote, even though he didn’t have the power to do that. A NY Times editorial notes that, “The effort extended all the way into the Oval Office, where Mr. Trump and his allies plotted a constitutional self-coup.” In the past year, 700 people have been arrested, 325 of them for felony offenses. At least 165 have pleaded guilty to crimes committed during the insurrection. Seventy have been sentenced and 31 of those have been sent to prison. Investigators are still looking for a man who planted two pipe bombs that never went off. Authorities say 140 police officers were injured in the riot and one later died. Two committed suicide within days of the assault. Attorney General Merrick Garland noted in a speech yesterday that disappointment with the election and belief that it was fraudulent have resulted in violent threats to election workers, members of Congress, judges, airline crews, health care workers, and school administrators. The Survey Center on American Life has found that almost 100 million adults of all political persuasions agree that “the traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it.” Some Americans are openly asking, “When can we use the guns?” In the meantime, Republicans in state legislatures they control have been busy re-writing the rules of elections and voting, determined to make it harder to elect a Democrat to anything, let alone president, and attempting to give themselves power over certifying the results. It’s the quiet coup. The NY Times says, “Thus the Capitol riot continues in statehouses across the country, in a bloodless, legalized form that no police officer can arrest and that no prosecutor can try in court.” Barton Gellman writes in the current issue of The Atlantic that, “In at least 15 more states, Republicans have advanced new laws to shift authority over elections from governors and career officials in the executive branch to the legislature. Under the Orwellian banner of ‘election integrity,’ even more have rewritten laws to make it harder for Democrats to vote. Death threats and harassment from Trump supporters have meanwhile driven nonpartisan voting administrators to contemplate retirement.” Gellman concludes; “There is a clear and present danger that American democracy will not withstand the destructive forces that are now converging upon it. Our two-party system has only one party left that is willing to lose an election. The other is willing to win at the cost of breaking things that a democracy cannot live without.” Viral News: New cases of Covid-19 are up 247 percent over the past two weeks. The CDC expects 54,000 people a day to end up in the hospital by the end of the month. Three of the largest health systems in Michigan say a combined 2,000 health care workers have tested positive for COVID-19 in just the last week, worsening staff shortages and forcing them to leave beds empty while delaying hundreds of surgeries and medical procedures. In entertainment, The 64th annual Grammy Awards that were to be held January 31st are postponed and and the Sundance Film Festival normally held in Utah has been moved online. Foot Fault: Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic yesterday was denied entry to Australia, losing his chance to defend his singles title in the Australian Open. The 20-time grand slam champion was held in an airport room for 12 hours while officials questioned his Covid vaccination status and his reasons for wanting an exemption from a vaccine mandate. The tennis world and Australian government were in a snit because tournament officials gave Djokovic permission to play even though he steadfastly refused to say whether he’s vaccinated against Covid-19. The Victoria state government has required all players, staff, and fans to be fully vaccinated, but Open officials had granted Djokovic a medical exemption for reasons not revealed. The Spin Rack: Twelve people died, including eight children, in a fire early yesterday in a Philadelphia row house owned by the local housing authority. The cause is undetermined. --- Dozens of antigovernment demonstrators in have been killed and hundreds injured in Kazakhstan. After the city hall in Almaty, the country’s largest city, was set on fire, and the airport overrun by an angry mob, police and paratroopers opened fire. --- North Korea launched a ballistic missile yesterday, just days after outgoing South Korean President Moon Jae-in vowed to make a final push for peace with the Hermit Kingdom of Kim Jong Un. Looking Up: NASA's James Webb Space Telescope successfully deployed its secondary mirror yesterday, giving great cheer to mission operators one day after the telescope unfolded its enormous sunshield. The sun shield is the size of a tennis court and it’s the critical piece of gear that will make it possible for the floating observatory to look into the reaches of the universe. It’s a huge success so far in space exploration.

I love the Sneakers movie - Sidney, Robert R, River, David S, Dan A, Ben K, Mary D
Computer hacker Martin (Robert Redford) heads a group of specialists who test the security of various San Francisco companies. Martin is approached by two National Security Agency officers who ask him to steal a newly invented decoder. Martin and his team discover that the black box can crack any encryption code, posing a huge threat if it lands in the wrong hands. When Martin realizes the NSA men who approached him are rogue agents, they frame him for the murder of the device's inventor.

Good morning brethren
Any act of kindness - a smile for a neighbor, a kind word in a store, a stepping back so someone can enter - when done with an open hearted intention - is an act of service.
Enjoy your day

(CNN)Sidney Poitier, whose elegant bearing and principled onscreen characters made him Hollywood's first Black movie star and the first Black man to win the best actor Oscar, has died. He was 94.
Clint Watson, press secretary for the Prime Minister of the Bahamas, confirmed to CNN that Poitier died Thursday evening. Poitier overcame an impoverished background in the Bahamas and softened his thick island accent to rise to the top of his profession at a time when prominent roles for Black actors were rare. He won the Oscar for 1963's "Lilies of the Field," in which he played an itinerant laborer who helps a group of White nuns build a chapel. Many of his best-known films explored racial tensions as Americans were grappling with social changes wrought by the civil rights movement. In 1967 alone, he appeared as a Philadelphia detective fighting bigotry in small-town Mississippi in "In the Heat of the Night" and a doctor who wins over his White fiancée's skeptical parents in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." Poitier's movies struggled for distribution in the South, and his choice of roles was limited to what White-run studios would produce. Racial taboos, for example, precluded him from most romantic parts. But his dignified roles helped audiences of the 1950s and 1960s envision Black people not just as servants but as doctors, teachers and detectives. At the same time, as the lone Black leading man in 1960s Hollywood, he came under tremendous scrutiny. He was too often hailed as a noble symbol of his race and endured criticism from some Black people who said he had betrayed them by taking sanitized roles and pandering to Whites. "It's been an enormous responsibility," Poitier told Oprah Winfrey in 2000. "And I accepted it, and I lived in a way that showed how I respected that responsibility. I had to. In order for others to come behind me, there were certain things I had to do."

Well written by Radtke paramedic!
Unfortunately I've been in the hospital too many times in the pandemic. I have to say the healthcare have been really helpful - doctors nurses aides etc.
I know that everybody is exhausted patients doctors or people of the "healthworld". I actually had to talk to a administrator/manager and get a new nurse and a doctor as well. I figured out a few people are really high meth or something.
14. If you're a doctor/nurse "high", be careful .... you can hurt your patient
We have another year of this PandHealth......
