The national cases went up around 24%. Fauci says that we're out of the pandemic phase whatever that means. I suspect we're just going to live with this thing as best we can.

My generator is finally done and paid for. It tests itself once a week. I need to go check that the light is green. Generac is sending me a wireless kit to install.

My sister-in-law has Covid. She's in Syracuse and the nurse that she spoke to at her doctor's office didn't even offer her a prescription. We told her to call back and now she has Paxlovid which Is the same thing that I took. But they didn't warn her about not taking statins. Again she called back and has suspended her statin medication. We need to appreciate the doctors here in Northern New Jersey more.

I got a cortisone shot in my knee yesterday which is a great improvement. The new bike arrived Monday and we put it together Tuesday. We go for our second boosters tomorrow.

The national numbers went up again but hospitalizations have reportedly stayed flat. People are beginning to say that cases is not the best way to tract things and we should be focusing on hospitalizations and death.

It looks like my generator installation is getting to the end of the road. As I was typing I got a call that the final electrical inspection will occur Thursday, then they'll activate the thing, we'll set up the service and I will pay them the balance. That works for me.

Bergen County had a big increase in the 50% range. Early numbers this week looks like they'll be up again.

My CAT scan was OK. The spot got smaller but didn't go away all together. Next check will be in October. 

The never ending generator installation sage continues. The plumber came back the following day to paint because he couldn't paint in the rain. On Monday we had the two electricians, three PSE&G trucks, the town electrical inspector and a partridge in a pear tree. They were here pretty much all day but now I've been told that was only a preliminary inspection.

The town plumbing inspector was here this morning because I found an e-mail saying that he was and the plumber is supposed to come back to do a final connection. The final electrical inspection has yet to be scheduled and the electricians say they will be here to activate the generator when the inspector comes. I also got a call that PSE&G is coming later this month to change the meter. Why, I don't know.

Bergen county went went back up as well and the earfly numbers from this week aren't good from either the state or the county.

My CAT scan was OK. The spot got smaller but didn't go away all together. Next check will be in October. 

The generator guys were here all day yesterday. The power was off while they were working. I find it slightly ironic that I lost power in order to get a generator to keep me from losing power. They're not done. They'll be back Monday. The plumber is here to do his part today and just left because he was missing a part. I'm beginning to regret doing this. I would just like to get it over with already.

Bergen county went down by about 13.8%. This is sort of interesting. I guess we'll have to see what happens next week.

I get to see the dentist today. The shower door is fixed. I get to see my surgeon next Tuesday to find out how my CAT scan looked. It would be nice if that spot was gone. The power generator folks say they're coming at 7:30 AM next Wednesday, That will be a little over five months since we ordered it.

The number of national cases went down another 12.6%. That's a ba.2 variant. Last week I said b2. It's here and is rapidly becoming widespread in New Jersey so it's only a matter of time before it spreads to the rest of the country.

Bergen county went up again. This time by a pretty big 23.4%. The first two days of this indicate this will probably continue. I suppose this is ba.2.

The hose on the kitchen sink broke and the towel rod on the outside of the shower door brook off. I had a plumber replace the hose and I ordered the wrong part (of course) for the shower door. I ordered the right part and have to get around to sending the wrong part back to Amazon.

Our taxes are done so I'm really broke now.

The Ukraine

Russia invaded the Ukraine a couple of weeks ago. I haven't said anything about it because I don't know what to say.

Apparently the Russians were expecting to be welcomed with open arms or have a easy time of it.

Neither turned out to be the case and things are pretty nasty. That's what war usually turns out to be.

Incredibly a number of right wing types here are supporting the invasion. Tucker Carlson and Michelle Bachmann and a few crazy pastors come to mind. Trump initially seemed to support Putin as well but apparently got a whiff of the wind and now sounds like he's changed his mind.

Just another mess the world will have to iron out.

The number of national cases went down another 22.9% nationwide. There are some rumors of an Omicron.b2 variant that is causing problems in China and the rest of Asia. It's only a matter of time before it gets here.

Bergen county actually went up by 7.5%. This is the first increase in nine weeks. The first two days of this week though look good for both the state and county.

Dentist found a cavity under a crown which he's going to work on today. The physical was pretty easy and it turns out I'm not due for a colonoscopy until next October. Hell, I could be dead by then.

I sold my Giants PSLs. So after 52 years I am no longer a Giants season ticket holder. 

Dentist is tomorrow, CAT scan is Saturday and physical is Monday, yuck.

Bergen county had a decent drop of 17.3% and is about where it was in July.

Still debating about my Giants tickets. So much for my car behaving. I went out Sunday and the battery was dead. I had it towed to Subaru who checked and the battery was bad. This is the second failed battery in this car. My terror month has begun. I have dentist, physical, CAT scan and then in early April back to the surgeon and probably a colonoscopy somewhere in the not too distant future.

Just to add to the chaos, yesterday the belt on my bike fell off. This is the third time but I managed to get it back on fairly easily this time.

New Jersey flattened out a bit and only dropped 6.1%. I'm not sure 10,000 a week is a good place to be. The Health Department site went screwy on me last week. I can still get the case numbers but the daily death numbers aren't available so I'm going to drop that. I'm not sure it provided any real information anyway.

Bergen county is doing better than the state as a whole with a 17.3% drop. At least we're under 1,000 cases now.

Still debating about my Giants tickets. My car seems to be behaving as long as I don't ignore it for long periods of time. March is going to suck for several reasons. I have to get finish my physical which means they'll want me to go for a colonoscopy; I have to see the dentist to get my denture and teeth cleaned and I'll be going for that CAT scan.

The number of national cases went down about 40.9% nationwide. There seems to be a move toward just living with this thing as an endemic disease like the flu. Mask mandates are being lifted all around the country. New Jersey lifts its mandate on March 7th. I suppose we'll see what happens.

Bergen county is back to where it was in early November before Omicron hit but, again, 1,000 cases is nothing to sneeze at.

Still debating about my Giants tickets. I went to clear the ice off my windshield and my car wouldn't start. I tried to jump it and no luck. Subaru sent a service truck and he jumped it OK. I hadn't started it in a couple of weeks. I need to remember to do that.

Another big drop in New Jersey at 52.4%. The number of deaths dropped slightly. The total number of deaths in this wave is pretty high. Over the pas six weeks there have been 3,096 deaths. But a total reported cases of 594,915 cases. That's a rate of about 0.52% which I'm going to say is less than half of previous variants. How much of that is due to a milder form of the virus and how much from vaccination I have no idea,

Debating about my Giants tickets. I think I'm going to try and sell my PSLs. If I can't then I'll just refuse the tickets.
