With so many experiencing new lockdowns in Australia, Los Angeles, and many other places, because of the new Delta variant, which is also in the United States, COVID is making a comeback, again! To shine some light on what benefits are gained from a new virus and this global pandemic, watch this video. In it, Daniel Kraft, explores the many ways COVID has helped transform medicine and global relations for the better.

I am grateful for TED talks. They are entertaining, and most importantly very up-to-date. Most documentaries are behind the times, when it comes to current issues. TED brings in speakers that are on the cutting edge of innovation and change, and do a great job introducing many important topics for us to consider. Topics like climate change, human trafficking, migrant rights, and so many others. It is a joy to watch them and learn something new each day.

I hope you enjoy this one. I learned a lot, and what Daniel alludes to is nothing short of extraordinary as the globe comes together to fight this nasty little bug.

Have a great Thursday! Oh, I have some nieces visiting on the 5th of July through the 15th. Daily Ramblings will not be publishing its normal schedule during this time.

Until next time…

If you’ve ever experienced one of these, it is bad. It’s like you’re awake, yet not. It’s hard to explain. That’s why I thought Ami could explain it better. Watch this short video about a topic that may plague you. I have always found that the best way to face a fear is to understand it. Enjoy!

Until next time…

With all the hoopla surrounding the presidential election of 2020, I thought this would be a good video for my reading audience. I enjoyed this talk and hope you do too. Watch Amber McReynolds discuss voting/election systems and how they should benefit the voter, not the politicians.

One more announcement. I got the second shot for the COVID vaccine today. I may be out of it tomorrow and the next day, if my reaction is the same as my wife’s and niece’s. Just a head’s up in case I do not post tomorrow or the next day. I don’t feel bad at all right now, but we just got the shot a few hours ago. I’m playing it by ear.

Until next time…
