COVID is over on Feb. 8 The end of social distancing, and the secondary knock-on effect of exposing masking as an unenforceable charade, is approximately 40 days away. How apropos that we must wander in the desert of dystopia 40 more days, but here it is. What is the most precise way of determining when social distancing will end? The return of full-sale concert arena events. Note that this also portends the end of masking, as there is zero chance concert security is going to bust a fully-sold arena for mask violations. And the first one is a shocker. Michael...

The social media sleuth behind Hilaria Baldwin’s stunning Spanish-accent scandal says she fears going public — because Alec Baldwin might beat her up. The woman spoke to the New York Times for its story on the saga involving the popular yoga guru — who was forced to admit this week that she’s just a “white girl” from Boston despite long claiming she was born in Mallorca, Spain and speaking with a questionable accent. But the Twitter denizen talked anonymously, telling the Times “she was scared that Mr. Baldwin … would punch her” if her identity was made public. The “30...

When she had the routine of home, Angie Sinopoli was the talkative matriarch of a large Italian family who heaped praise on her children and grandchildren, even as her memory faded.

Mrs. Sinopoli hasn’t seen family in more than nine months. Her vocabulary has dwindled to about 20 words. Early...

CONCORD — New Hampshire's Republican governor said Wednesday that he is canceling his outdoor inauguration ceremony next month because of public safety concerns — namely, armed protesters who have been gathering outside his home in the weeks since he issued a mask order. "My first responsibility is ensuring the safety of my family and our citizens" Gov. Chris Sununu said in a news release.

The year 2020 started great, with cruise lines predicting record bookings at the start of the year and passenger numbers projected to jump up by several million compared to 2019. How different things became in February and March.
