The headlines about how many people are getting COVID have been disconcerting as we read about setting daily records of the number of positive cases.  One Wall Street Journal headline today reads, “Unable to Get Covid-19 Tests, Americans Carry On, Go to Work, Get on Flights.”  That headline suggests to me that the number of daily cases will

Thursday, 11 November 2021 by Indiana Ministries
doug-1
