Kudos to Medium

I have to give high praise to this “medium.” I hadn’t posted in awhile and could not find the right email address to get back to my site. I was surprised and delighted that when I emailed my problem to the help section, I was contacted within 24 hours by a real person. After several emails in which I was simply and courteously asked questions to verify my identity, I was assisted (again, by a REAL PERSON) in getting back access to my site.

Land of the Free, Home of the Self-Centered

from Sister Joan Chittister, a Benedictine sister of Erie, Pennsylvania (Dreamstime/Víctor Manuel Mulero Ramírez) (This is a very helpful exploration of the people crying for “freedom” to not wear masks during the pandemic and helpful to more deeply explore what exactly we mean by “our rights.” ~Alan Levin) They call it a “pandemic,” meaning occurring all over the world, all around the globe. Horrible. Overwhelming. Heart-stopping.

COVID-19 Cases Are Rising, So Why Are Deaths Flatlining?

The gap between soaring cases and falling deaths is being weaponized by the right to claim a hollow victory in the face of shameless failure. What’s really going on? (I’ve steered somewhat away from the political aspects of what’s going on with the pandemic. But with the intensity of polarization happening even about some of the basic facts, I thought I’d share this important analysis that was first published in the Atlantic. ~Alan Levin)
