Children who catch Covid-19, even without symptoms, have a significant chance of ending up with lasting pain and disability.

Putting aside the gratuitous disrespect reported for some doctors, there is, in fact, nothing that medicine can do for those people now. No one has any idea what might help. Maybe research will discover treatments in the future, but there is no guarantee.

This is a fate worse than death. I suppose some of those children wish for death. If they don't now, they may start in a year or several years. But it may take them years to attain that wish.

To prevent this horrible fate, we need to eradicate Covid-19, from our countries and from the whole world. That means a large fraction of the population must be vaccinated.

We cannot allow perverse cults to stand in the way.

The Tory government has stated the intention to privatize all public schools in the UK.

Privatization would result in paying teachers less, spending less on education, and providing profit to the operators. In addition, the privatized schools could get away with disregarding educational needs, even kicking out students because they cost more money, perhaps leaving them with no school that will admit them.

Cars record everything that happens in them, even opening doors and windows. If you connect a phone to one, it gets lots of data from the phone, and stores them permanently too.

In the US, various government agencies can get this data out of the car. However, it's not just the government. Surely the car manufacturer gets it too, and can sell it.

I wonder whether all this data enables the government, and the car manufacturer, to track the car's movements by dead reckoning if the GPS antenna is covered.

We need laws to tightly restrict what data a car can record.

Republican election sabotage bills go beyond making it inconvenient to vote (especially for Democrats). They propose to allow poll watchers to look at people's ballots (and see how they are voting), harass voters, even try to disqualify voters.

Republican officials would judge the challenges and there is no reason to expect them to try to judge in a non-partisan or fair manner.
