Thanks, Noozhawk, for the excellent webinar. The panel was impressive and I liked the fast pace of the conversation. Please do more of these.

The Noozhawk webinar was very interesting and it was very helpful to hear from the medical panel and not just government officials. I appreciated the fact that they all acknowledged the shortcomings of the vaccine rollout, but I feel much more confident about our situation after hearing their candid assessment of the positive trends. Thank you for putting it on.

Thank you to Noozhawk publisher Bill Macfadyen for leading the panel discussion on the coronavirus vaccines. The webinar was very informative and I’m glad to hear that so many people participated in it. Noozhawk rocks!

Somehow it escapes the attention of those people who have deprived us of our liberty and freedom that 99.98 percent of positive COVID cases recover. I’m checking now since this bloody panic (yes, I meant panic) began several months ago, 12,000 cases have been confirmed and 138 deaths reported in Santa Barbara County, which has half a million residents.
AARP reported in a recent article that of the 285,000 deaths in the United States, 40 percent have occurred in long-term care facilities (yes, that would include hospice where no lifesaving assistance is administered).
So instead of protecting the vulnerable in those facilities, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other governors on March 25 ordered COVID-19 positive patients back into nursing homes providing no equipment or other assistance to prevent the spread of the virus. Tens of thousands of elderly patients died at the hands of this Emmy Award winner for his stellar news conferences.
