...Wear a mask. Keep your distance. Wash your hands. Avoid crowds. Outside is better than inside. Fauci delivers that mantra every time he gives an interview, which is many times a day. He repeatedly cites scientific evidence or the lack of it. He is not hesitant to say that there are things we still don’t understand about this virus. And he has issued warning after warning: Take this thing seriously. It’s dangerous. We have to stay vigilant. And he says it again and again.

Paradoxically, this grim talk can be soothing, in part because of the way he delivers it: He doesn’t emanate fear. Disinformation, bunk and ideologically driven magical thinking have so thoroughly contaminated our information streams that people are desperate to find a safe harbor where two plus two is still four. That makes Fauci a national resource: His currency is trustworthiness....

And here's a song that that refers to some more Bible verses

For rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
.....
"Fear not then," said the Angel,
"Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
....
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Johnson had dislodged his predecessor Theresa May, sledging her pact with Brussels as an "absolute stinker", but it turned out he'd traded away even more.

His deal was forecast to dent UK growth by 6.7 per cent (May's would cost only 2.1), and for all the pugnacious talk of defending the UK's sovereignty, it abandoned Northern Ireland to EU customs rules....

More than 1,600 days after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, a final trade deal has been agreed that will avoid border and economic chaos on New Year's Day.
Key points:

• Some 1,664 days since the 2016 Brexit referendum, a final trade deal has been agreed to by the UK an the European Union
• The deal will ensure tariff and quota free trade between the two that makes up half of nearly $1bn in yearly commerce
• The deal still needs approval from the UK parliament and the 27 EU member states....

Quite true, CV, but for the matters of health that is a government responsibility. as England is becoming aware of, and Australia already recognizes. I will give credit to a couple of conservative pastors in town here - - even if they didn't have people in their congregation get the virus from church attendance? - - they still knew people who have came down with the virus and may have been members of their churches. I can't help some of the greedy churches out in California who are paying more attention to paper money floating into their collection plates, rather than the health of the congregation; and just as importantly their congregations instead of going out and spreading the Word two people they are going out spreading viruses❗👎
