TOKYO (AP) - Tick-Tock-Tick.

The countdown clock for the postponed Tokyo Olympics hit 200 days to go on Monday.

Tick-Tock-Tick.

Also on Monday, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said he would consider calling a state of emergency as new coronavirus cases surge to record numbers in Tokyo and neighboring prefectures. Japan has never had a lockdown for COVID-19, attempting to juggle the economy and health risks.

Tick-Tock-Tick.

It’s nearing deadline time for Tokyo Olympic organizers, the International Olympic Committee, and various Japanese government entities as they try to pull off the Games in the middle of a pandemic.

Officials have promised to announce concrete plans early in the new year about how to get 15,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes into Japan; about the safety of the Athletes Village, and hundreds of thousands of fans, media, judges, officials, broadcasters and VIPs.

The new year is here.

Well I’ll be damned. Those are actual “rikishi” (wrestlers). Usually they aren’t in such parodies.)

“Is the Olympics allowing fake women to compete against women?”

What does that even mean ? Are you referring to transgender women ?

Yes. I’ve read responses that said, “Write fake woman, so I don’t get confused.” To me, what I wrote is clear.

There’s still some travel to Mainland China.

Cases are surging there, but the death rate does not appear to be as high.

Note Japan does not do as much testing per capita as the US.

Ivermectin was invented in Japan.

And they are using it, very low death rate.

Hiking over broken terrain is just as good as jogging when you get older.Walking over farm fields and hedgerows, or through woods without a path.

I have to get new boots annually, wear the toes out .

I wonder if there is also some genetic resistance factoring in.

That is one theory that also applies to both Vietnam and Myanmar. But also there is the fact that Ivermectin and HCQ are given out in schools against malaria and parasites every day. They both are widely used.

But its politically incorrect to point this out.

If you check malaria infested areas out around the world where both HCQ and Ivermectin are used as a household medicine like
aspirin, you see a much lower death rate in those areas.

This is understandable, given the science:

Dr. Pierre Corey pleasds with National Istitution of Health at a Hiomeland Security congressional hearing to examine Ivernectine therapy data.

Good to see Ivermectin in use for something. Just about totally ineffective as an anthelmintic in small ruminants in North America.

That’s great. It’s also effective in foxes for mange.

I always got the liquid so we could use as a drench.

We have new pasture and a new barn, but I am sure we’ll have to drench eventually.

Yeah, pasture rotation worked for a while, but sheep would graze right to the nub, always had to treat suspect animals.
