Always.OK. So you used a "pet name" for Dr. Fauci?
NKBJ often uses puzzling names for people and situations. I like the challenge of decoding them.OK. So you used a "pet name" for Dr. Fauci?
Great post, I love it when we have an existential discussion in your own head. But the best part of this is that in your last sentence you make ‘conscience’ sound plural, which fits perfectly.And yet a big wig at my company said in a meeting last week that cases and deaths are still rising.
That of course led me to have an existential discussion in my own head about whether I was going to be the agitator to post a link in the Zoom chat to the CDC site that shows both cases and deaths dropping over the last 30 days and prove this person incorrect in front of our entire department of close to 200 people.
Spoiler alert: I did not. And my conscience have been bugging me about it since.
I agree with you on the definition.Are you questioning the definition, or my use of the term? Or, perhaps, not understanding the verb "to feign"? I thought it fit under the circumstances.
Um....Fauci is the "power" a/k/a the "establishment". What an odd way to describe his statements.Good morning Hawkeye.

With cases and deaths trending towards what some might call a sharp decline, has Governor Holcomb laid out updated criteria for when he might drop the mask mandate and get things back rolling again? Or are we still using the criteria from back in the summer?
Admittedly, I stopped following the day to day news a long time ago.
I would like to know what caused the downturn in cases, and can we keep that measure in place while resorting other areas to normal operation.With cases and deaths trending towards what some might call a sharp decline, has Governor Holcomb laid out updated criteria for when he might drop the mask mandate and get things back rolling again?

No, but with widespread vaccination, this thing can actually be turned into "just another flu" meaning no restrictions. The vaccinations not only prevent the disease, but greatly reduce its effects where it does not stop the disease completely. At least one vaccine has trial results which show effectiveness against the South African variant and other variants. 60% prevention of infection and 100% prevention of hospitalization and death. There is even better results against the UK variant. Most other vaccines have not yet been in trials with the variants, but likely will have somewhat similar results. While annual "booster" shots will probably be an option (as with the flu), what we have now will decimate the death rate.With the new variations of covid popping up is possible to achieve 0 cases?
Just back from worldometers, and the quick and dirty CFRs based on their data show the US increasing a bit while Japan and Germany have increased A LOTUnder 800 new cases today. Haven't seen the 700s since early September.
If this trend holds, or even levels off, I think March 1st would be a good time to revisit the few restrictions Indiana still has in place.
But don't get too excited- the mask requirement, while annoying, will be the last to go because it does not harm business.

If cases are on the decline, there needs to be justification on why restrictive measures remain in place.
But Karen will take credit because she made 142 masks in her basement from old bed sheets and she yelled at people. The media will back her up.The downturn in cases doesn't reflect application or efficacy of "measures"; rather, it is reflective of the normal lifecycle of a virus of this nature. The downturn in cases is seen near-universally, on a similar linear progression, everywhere, independent of "measures" in place in each locale.
