oh please not orange
He ran away too fast for photo; I will now be on the hunt for the elusive Colorado Orange Tailed Squirrel...I know where he lives.

The Rockies squirrels have black ears but that's normal.

Where do all the old squirrels go from last year? These look like spring squirrels, skinny smaller not much fur on the tail; some with no fur on they're tail.

You Are Going to Get COVID Again … And Again … And Again
Will the danger mount each time, or will it fade away?

There are vaccines in development that target multiple paths that are more fundamental to the viruses functioning than the rapidly mutating spike proteins and make escape unlikely. We need better vaccines and antiviral drugs, looks like the "cure for the common cold" could become serious business and perhaps worth many billions globally?

It could become like the common cold, but I'd hedge my bets, compared to the cost of the war in Ukraine, we spend shit on this research. The cost of this pandemic was far more than most wars, in terms of both blood and treasure.

I've noticed the squirrels are losing the fur on their tails some have no fur at all; one I saw today had an orange tail. They seem very thin too.
Call the state wildlife department, they will probably give you an explanation or it is on their website, they monitor these things.

I think that the nasal mist vaccines currently being trialed are going to be the best hope of ending Covid, as there is hope that these vaccines will be effective in preventing infection which would be an improvement on the current vaccines which are now not preventing infection nor symptoms but stopping serious illness and death.

We won't end covid, but we might be able to live with it, the easy way with better vaccines, or the natural way, with it's toll of misery, suffering and death. Covid is here to stay, it's endemic now and will live on in animals, if wiped out in humans, which is unlikely. Somethings ya can't stuff back in Pandora's box, once the lid is lifted.

Your usually the voice of optimism,let's hope these nasal vaccines are on the money,they attack and defend where covid gets it's foothold in the nasal cavity,so if any hope exists that is where it is,I hope it works cause I just came from the market(I wore a doubled up surgical mask) and the number of people masking now is incredibly low in spite of the recent warning of high transmission now taking place,people don't seem to give a shit anymore.
