News Of The Week Roundup: Week 31, 2021

I started PT for my shoulder this week and things are looking up! Just (at least) 8 more weeks to go!

There was a lot of news last week - it was kind of hard to keep up with it all. I'm in the middle of a big work project too, plus Big Brother is ongoing so I have to keep up with the game via the live feeds.

First off, this is a thing apparently. TikTok is just ridiculous, I swear.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is embroiled in a massive scandal involving allegations of sexual assault. Something like 11 women have accused him of inappropriate conduct at this point. He should resign but is refusing to do so. The Democratic state legislature is going to impeach him.

The Delta variant means COVID-19 is surging in America again. The good news is that more folks in the southern states are finally getting vaccinated. The bad news is that it will take weeks to get out of the Delta mess we're in. Also, masks are coming back in lots of places and stuff is getting canceled again. It didn't have to be this way.

For weeks, vaccinated Americans believed it was safe to forgo mask-wearing indoors. Now mask requirements are making a comeback. The guidance reflects the recent surge of coronavirus cases in many parts of the country, fueled by the Delta variant. https://t.co/yUoceARK8v
