With COVID-19 persisting through the winter, health officials have told us to prepare for a dark cold season. This means many families are going to experience a very different Christmas compared to what they have done in past years.
Christmas music is a topic that’s so divisive and anger inducing that I risk being mobbed at The Hub by muttering a few simple words—when can we listen to Christmas music? There are many schools of thought on this, and I’m going to walk you through all of them and reveal my own definitive holiday music schedule.
Last week President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden participated in competing town halls. In one corner you have Biden, a 77-year-old man who is the physical embodiment of the phrase “that reminds me of a story…” In the other, Trump, a man who talks about policy like a husband caught in bed with someone named “Stormy.”
Recently Christ Church has been making local and national headlines for their protests against the mask mandate wisely implemented by Moscow Mayor Bill Lambert in July. Despite the mask mandate being 100% constitutional (shoutout to Jacobson v Massachusetts), Christ Church continues to rage against it as if it’s not. Although it would be easy to write them off as another group of misguided citizens, they’ve established their roots deeply I’m worried they are more than that. Christ Church and their plans for Moscow are dangerous and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
It recently came to light the White House cancelled the U.S. Postal Service’s plans to send 650 million masks to U.S. residents last April. This plan would’ve put five reusable face masks in every post office box across the country. The idea was courtesy of the Department of Health and Human Services, which is a Republican controlled department, mind you.
Have you had someone in one of your classes wear their mask without covering their nose? It’s annoying. It truly boggles the mind that someone would cover their mouth but think their nose doesn’t abide by the same rules. It’s a pandemic, we’re covering every orifice.
