Jack Torrance, the raging alcoholic character in The Shining, screamed famously in the movie, “I’m back!”
Another such character in the real-life horror movie called COVID-19, is the face mask. And like Jack Torrance, the mask is beginning to shout, “I’m back!”
According to the CDC, COVID hospitalizations and deaths are creeping up a bit, but overall the numbers are low compared to a few years ago. There is also the issue of “with versus from” COVID. Someone hospitalized for back or heart surgery who tests positive for COVID will be counted a COVID hospitalization. This is vastly different from a patient with respiratory failure or pneumonia from COVID.

Similarly, someone who dies and has a positive COVID test is counted as a COVID death. Examples include gunshot fatalities in Grand County, Colorado classified as COVID deaths because they just happened to be test positive before death or at autopsy.
Using that logic, George Floyd died of COVID as he had a positive COVID test on autopsy. America could have been spared billions of dollars in property damage from the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020 if he was just another COVID fatality.
And they are still using the PCR test, which is overly sensitive based on an overly high cycle threshold, a topic I discussed previously. Lastly, we are soon entering flu season.
How many of these “COVID” cases are influenzae or a bad cold? Remember how flu cases disappeared once COVID came to town? Was it because of masks and lockdowns? Or were seasonal flu cases misdiagnosed as COVID? If masks could all but eliminate the flu, why didn’t public health officials recommend them previously?
That’s all history, but history may be repeating itself, or at least rhyming with the past. Like Jack Torrance, masks are saying, “I’m back!”

As reported by Newsweek, several places are bringing back mandatory masks. These include the Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Santa Rosa, California, Morris Brown College, a small liberal arts school in Atlanta, Georgia, Upstate Medical in Syracuse, New York, and Lionsgate Movie Studio in Santa Monica, California.
Contrary to rumor, Rutgers University is not returning to mask mandates. TSA denies Alex Jones’s claims of mask mandates returning to TSA employees and airplane travelers. A federal judge ruled in April 2022 that the mask mandate was unlawful.
