Vote on the pandemic article

[Shermann]

I'm referring to English grammar articles. They are a type of determiner and go before a noun (a/an/the). Words matter!

The MSM seems to be clustering around poll option 1. Is that really the best characterization of our shared reality?

Not only might there be another corner, there's no guarantee that this corner loops back 180 degrees towards a better place. The UK turned a/the corner three months ago. That seems to have been a 90 degree corner.

1. as an average slob who isn't a virologist nor an epidemiologist, I defer to the CDC.

my opinion means nothing.

3. Are they even making an attempt at forecasts?

There seemed to be a lot more work being done with pandemic models last year.

This year, it's cases are up...DAMN! Cases are down...WOOHOO!

None of the modeling that I've seen has ever predicted the massive large-scale oscillations that we've experienced.

So there isn't anything there to defer to.

2. Without a massive increase in vaccinations globally....

Echo variant is just around the corner.
