Well, it has been almost 3 weeks since my last blog
update. Here is another update of this
blog.
This time it is 86 pages of links to the news covering
the last 3 weeks. They appear in the
categories listed below, including Veterans, Criminal Justice and Racism and
Ageism and other discrimination, Economics and Coronavirus, Economics and
Corruption and Healthcare and Education, Ecology and Pollution and Climate
Change, Politics and Coronavirus, Politics, Terrorism, Military, and General
and Miscellaneous. Don’t forget to
click on the items in the column on the right to open the pages for those categories.
Regarding the coronavirus pandemic, in the past four
weeks there have been 13 million new cases in the world, 26 thousand new deaths
in the world, 1.8 million new cases in the U.S.A., 6.2 thousand new deaths in
the U.S.A., 39.7 thousand new cases in Pennsylvania, 287 new deaths in
Pennsylvania, 5.1 thousand new cases in Philadelphia, and 20 new deaths in
Philadelphia. During this past three
weeks, almost all the deaths were among the unvaccinated; there were almost no
deaths among people who were vaccinated.
The cumulative totals for each of these categories since the beginning
of the pandemic are now as follows: 555,319,715; 6,362,611; 89,567,321; 1,043,372;
3,006,257; 45,766; 335,643; and 5,173.
During the next few months, we will continue to contend
with the variants and subvariants of the coronavirus. While the virus continues to mutate we must
remain vigilant. Until the deaths are
down to, and remain at, zero for several days, we should not become too relaxed
about wearing face masks and being fully vaccinated and boosted. Everyone all ages should be fully vaccinated
and boosted. For more info on Covid-19

The war of resistance by Ukraine against the Russian
invasion about 131 days ago continues on.
Ukraine, with financial and material assistance from various other
nations, including the U.S., has been able to repel many Russian
initiatives. However, Russia is
ruthlessly destroying much of the infrastructure in the Eastern part of Ukraine
and Ukraine is losing 100 to 200 soldiers per day. Three American foreign legionnaires have been
captured.
The world is in a great struggle to determine if the dominant
form of government will be authoritarianism or democracy. Even here in the United States, long known as
the world’s beacon of democracy, there is a question about whether democracy
can survive without another civil war.
We must continue to resist tyranny, fascism,
authoritarianism, racism, sexism, misogyny, xenophobia, etc. The three impurities of life are avarice,
anger, and ignorance. What others need
from us is respect, kindness, and love.
The more respect, kindness, and love that we give to others, the more
respect, kindness, and love we get in our lives and the better we feel about
ourselves. The 7.8 billion human beings
on planet earth need to cooperate more with each other and compete less with
each other. They need to learn how to
equitably and sustainably share the resources of the earth with each other and
with all other species on planet earth.
Peace and love to all.
