I was hoping you'd have more details about the single U.K. death, and I wasn't disappointed. The news stories I've heard have been reliable in a "my cousin's wife's best friend's neighbor's boss's shetland pony's breeder's co-parent died of omicron" sort of way. I'd say falling off a ladder with a fortuitous shout is equally credible, although how dare you so defy the ladder tumbler's right to medical privacy, a thing which we can all agree we support wholeheartedly?

I am grateful that it seems like most of the US is going to resist the vaccine passport thing, I hope. Philadelphia appears to now be succumbing to them, but then you have the Democratic governor of Colorado sounding "back to normal, public health would keep you restricted forever if they could" notes. So strange times I guess.

You could write a whole paper on how often governments attempts to "reach" people with "dialog" turn almost immediately into just another excuse to call all the dissidents one type of extremist or another.
