COVID News

“Reports from Britain and South Africa of new coronavirus strains that seem to spread more easily are causing alarm, but virus experts say it’s unclear if that’s the case or whether they pose any concern for vaccines or cause more severe disease. Health experts in the U.K. and U.S. said the strain seems to infect more easily than others, but there is no evidence yet it is more deadly. A bigger worry is when a virus mutates by changing the proteins on its surface to help it escape from drugs or the immune system. ‘Emerging evidence’ suggests that may be starting to happen with the new coronavirus” AP News

The 21 days between Astronomical and Meteorologist Seasons can encompass huge changes.

For me personally, Christmas decorating makes me feel like it’s Wintertime; not Fall. Nevertheless, each year, most Christmas decorating occurs while we’re still experiencing Astronomical Fall in the Northern Hemisphere. This can be almost 3 weeks before the first “official” day of Winter. I guess the dividing line between seasons (Astronomical vs Meteorologist) depends on how you view the seasons.
