Good day on this nice sunny, dry March 19

I might get back into the patio gardens tomorrow--after things dry out a bit after a very rainy yesterday. I finished house cleaning for a while. I think the spirit has moved on--thank goodness.

I found this on Naked Capitalism a bit ago. I have been a skeptic when it comes to any expectations of either the pandemic (as in it will be over by what ever your favorite date) or the notion that the economy will go back to whatever anyone considers normal. First, we (in the U.S.) won't get all adults vaccinated, without the problem of the vaccine refuseniks, before fall. Yes, we might have the vaccine but distribution has been the bottleneck. Second, we won't have data on child vaccinations before the end of the year and the vaccinations won't be accomplished before sometime next year. Third, the economy has been pushed and pulled out of the pre-Covid grooves. Many of the jobs and businesses won't ever come back and many more will come back slowly. And that is without the possibility of another wave of Covid infections. We'll see what we see and somehow adapt.
