A quotation from Wilder, Laura Ingalls:

«««««
Tact does for life just what lubricating oil does for machinery. It makes the wheels run smoothly, and without it there is a great deal of friction and the possibility of a breakdown.

A quotation from Randall, J. G.:

«««««
Tact is not one thing only. It is a number of qualities working together: insight into the nature of men, sympathy, self control, a knack of inducing self control in others, avoidance of human blundering, readiness to give the immediate situation an understanding mind and a second thought.

T.A.C.T. - Why did Exponential Growth Stop in India? We examine the evidence. The answer to this question has broader implications as Arcturus spreads, leading to hospitalizations, deaths and more Long COVID.

**And you reply:**
"Yes, as long as the kids stay on holiday. Then it will come back..."

aka XBB.1.16 and its progeny XBB.1.31
After reading the newsletter on , my attention was drawn to one of the mutations of -CoV-2, in . Both variants share it.

Indeed, SARS-CoV-2 not only suppresses the immune system but in the most severe cases it over-activates it with the famous "cytokine storm". And the new mutation that shares these two variants is potentially on the "elastic" mechanism that triggers the cytokine storm.

is sending the right message:
"We don’t know the extent to which this new variant [Acturus] will impact the health of the healthiest people during the acute phase of infection but we can be fairly certain that it will not be good for long term health. It is likely to have a greater impact on the oldest, youngest and immune compromised people. -

@MartinDeLaToot @CoffeeFingers You are a liar! I am always baffled by blowhards like you on the internet.
