This makes me think you're somewhere near the lumber mill at Quincy.

 

Regarding the 'uprising' your son is expecting , it could be the mass protest Trump is supporting for January 6 in Washington D.C. That's the day Congress counts the electoral votes and declares the winner.

He is a tad bit closer to the Pacific Ocean. North. 
There is a term I can’t come up with, but those shadowy, dark ideas that some foster, he’s right there feeding them. He has a precious wife that told me she’s not supposed to use Siri, because that a part of a, “spy network”. And, there is no reasoning. So, I save my breathe. 

I want to age without sharp corners, and have an obedient heart!

Now you see why living in the hills, about 2 hours away from offspring, is a bit of a protection for me. 
It’s been hard. Of course I pray for them regularly, to get their spiritual wits together in time, but I also realize Jehovah’s standards for the new system are not ruled by my heart. They are old enough, and they are responsible for their choices. And, I know Jehovah will get me through it. Part of that may be mending my broken heart, but, if anyone can do that, Jehovah can. 
But, who knows? I’m certainly not giving up. 

Dear dear Sister Bea, I know how it is when children don’t accept Jehovah. It’s very heartbreaking, and most of us with children are in this position. It depresses me, but we leave it in Jehovah’s hands.  You are such a faithful sister and one I look up to as a positive example. ❤️❤️

Normality will only be achieved through a vaccination program that can achieve herd immunity, Prof MacIntyre says. 

"If we have a vaccine that has 90 per cent efficacy or greater we can achieve herd immunity - which means that we eliminate the infection in Australia - that's when we can return to normal and what we should be aiming for." 

Until then, Australians will remain at risk from infections carried in on international flight arrivals and breaches in policy that seed clusters.

The situation in Australia is different than in the US and UK and Europe, where the pandemic has not been controlled. As I’ve mentioned before, Australia (and New Zealand) have eliminated community transmission. New covid cases are only coming from returning nationals, and the quarantining system being breached. This is what happened in Victoria and is now happening in Sydney. At the moment the NSW government is urgently trying to contact trace and test over a quarter of a million people affected in the Northern beaches area of Sydney. If it spreads past the current 83 cases (up another 15 from yesterday), then it will grow exponentially and be beyond the grasp of contact tracers. So it’s a very anxious time right now in NSW.

 

"We know for a fact that there will be people who will get infected on Christmas Day who will be at their peak of infectiousness on New Year's Eve ... the mother of all super-spreading events," Prof MacIntyre told SBS News.

"Say we have 40 new cases tomorrow - unchecked, that will be 120 new cases on Christmas Day, 360 new cases on New Year's Eve and over 1,000 new cases by the first week of January."

The wording may sound off, but in all fairness,  it's well known that technology companies are being questioned about the ethics of what they are doing with all the information they are harvesting from us, free of charge, and profitting from.

Sadly I think this is true. I'm not a conspiracy theorist nor an anti-vaxxer. Just see the politicians as saying whatever is needed to give a false calm. Still waiting for that 'false' P&S claim though, bring that baby on!

This is very true. The authorities do not hesitate to lie in order to keep the population calm.

 

On the other hand, in this specific case I think there are good reasons to be optimistic. This vaccine attacks a specific protein in the virus. Even if it has mutated, as long as that protein is still there the vaccine should work. :)

When does one get out of the stock market? Financial analysts say one can't time the market. So stay in for the long term. However, they don't know what we know.emoji6.png

If you're asking this question in relation to the Great Tribulation and Armageddon, then I don't know if it really matters.

Could you explain what you meant by this?

Perhaps. I’m not going to try to qualify that. Too much craziness out there. 
The term I could not come up with is “conspiracy”. A hidden motive behind every tree. 
I’m so grateful Jehovah has pulled us out of this mire.

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- With 11 days left in December, Arizona has already surpassed November’s COVID-19 total.

According to public data from the Arizona Department of Health Services, December has already recorded 106,915 cases. In November, there were 102,837 cases, which was the previous record.

The new data comes as Phoenix Sky Harbor was packed with passengers over the weekend. An estimated two million people have boarded planes across the country.

Yeah i just read a report that the new rapidly spreading variant in the UK has a mutation in this particular spike protein.  And scientists are not sure the vaccine will work...

Interesting article about potential future deadly diseases resulting from animals, "wet markets" and deforestation.

Where did the variant originate and how has it taken hold?


The new variant of Covid-19 originated in southeast England, according to the World Health Organization.


PHE (Public Health England) have said that backwards tracing, using genetic evidence, suggests the variant first emerged in England in September. It then circulated in very low levels until mid-November.


"The increase in cases linked to the new variant first came to light in late November when PHE was investigating why infection rates in Kent [in southeast England] were not falling despite national restrictions. We then discovered a cluster linked to this variant spreading rapidly into London and Essex," PHE said.
Multiple experts have also suggested that this new variant could have been amplified because of a superspreader event, meaning the current spike in cases could also have been caused by human behavior.

Seems this variant/strain is relatively new. Probably different from what was studied in china Prior to April 2020.

If this system continues for much longer, I do expect more epidemics or pandemics.

It should be plain to see that humans can not rule themselves properly-- we are the problem.

Jehovah's Kingdom Government is the only real solution.

A study finds that pulse oximeters are less reliable when used on black patients

But in people with dark skin, the devices can provide misleading results in more than one in 10 people, according to a new study.

 

The findings, published last week as a letter to the editor of a top medical journal, sent ripples of dismay through the medical community, which relies heavily on the devices to decide whether to admit patients or send them home.

Daydream -

Scientists have discovered that daydreaming is an important tool for creativity. It causes a rush of activity in a circuit, which connects different parts of the brain and allows the mind to make new associations.
