First of all, let me say I'm Fauci's biggest fan. I'm really old, and was 23 when the AIDS pandemic was discovered (in 1981) and followed the pandemic for 15 years, until finally we found drugs that could actually turn AIDS into a manageable disease rather than the killer it was. I lost my best friend to AIDS in 1992, as well two other work associates. Through it all, Fauci was a hero in the pandemic. He garnered the respect of the gay community, after initially being attacked as a government official. Sound familiar? (This is all profiled in "And The Band Played On" from Randy Shilts) I have pretty much agreed with Fauci on 95% of his proclamations during the Coronavirus pandemic. He fucked up once with whether one should wear masks when the pandemic first exploded in March 2020 (I know he did it because there was a shortage at the time for health workers, but it is still a fuck-up), and I do believe he has fucked up again with this pronouncement. Yeah he tried to mitigate it, but it's always the first line that makes the headline. We had 57,000 cases on Monday, and 57,000 cases on Tuesday, and these are most certainly undercounts, given how many people are testing at home and not reporting positive results. And hospitalizations are on the rise. I just don't understand this statement by Fauci, and Dr. Jonathan Reiner on CNN this morning expressed similar sentiments. We are most certainly still in the grips of this pandemic.

I don‘t have much experience with WIX. I tried using it once to build a website a few years ago and found it very limiting. I think the site could use some improvements, speed wise and aesthetics. The type is hard on the eyes. I propose a complete makeover. I used to be real good at building websites, but that was 20 years ago and there have been a ton of improvements since then. Since I just retired for good (I’m 64 now), I have all the time in the world to start developing websites again, as well as apps etc. But I’d like to check the temperature of what others feel about it. I would also like to query those of you who do build websites how much effort this would take. Obviously, a back-end database is necessary, given all the entries. Could be thousands of dead or otherwise incapacitated human beings when this is all said and done…plus a lot of the images must take a bunch of bandwidth with it. I know it costs money but then the site could offer “memberships” and charge say $1.99 a month. That amount would add up and pay for the site. I don’t expect anyone to pick up such costs themselves as it could be real expensive. I used to build sports forum web sites at the turn of the century and believe me, I know…I did not want advertising to ruin the experience, so I was paying a lot of money every month. Anyway, please give your input. If the owners want to stay with WIX, that’s fine, but something has to be done about the typeset and fonts used. My two cents.
