Covid-19 Series, Lost track of the number

Posted on January 2, 2022 by Dr. Bartlett

Hi. I was going to start off with the traditional "Happy New Year" but that conveys the sort of optimism that I am lacking right now. Instead of feeling optimistic, I am actively trying to reign in the petrification that I am sensing about the coming months. The post-Thanksgiving Covid surge is kicking our collective … Continue reading Covid-19 Series, Lost track of the number →

Covid 19 Series, Entry #20

Are we there yet? The CDC, in a bungled attempt at being...like...super chill, came out a few days ago and made the announcement that fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks in public. For about 0.00000015ths of a second I was excited. But then the realistic part of my brain started throbbing and … Continue reading Covid-19 Series, Entry #16 →

Covid-19 Series, Entry #15

Good news and bad news. We've started watching The Crown, so please read this in a British accent, a la Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth. Now. Let's start with some good news, shall we? My lovely family indulged my desire to have a rather spoofy holiday card this year and... I present to you... "Best … Continue reading Covid-19 Series, Entry #15 →
