On High Rates of Infection in the Latino Communities
The management of this pandemic is racist as hell. I looked back over my emails and some posts, and I was going off on the issue of essential workers and crowded housing back in April of 2020. This barely ever came up in the media as an important factor in the spread of COVID-19, until…

Katsuo Carl Imakyure, in Los Angeles 1940
This person may have been a relative. It’s hard to know. My father had a letter sent to some government agency looking for him. Recent internet searches turned up photos, and this document, which is a record of the 1940 census. He boarded at a house at 305 E. 2nd St. in Los Angeles. This…

Selected Posts from June 2020
Every few months, I delete my posts from Facebook. I know FB already got some value from my activities, and want to limit what I give them. So, each month I pick some posts to preserve on this blog.

That “A cluster randomised trial of cloth masks compared with medical masks in healthcare workers” Article the Anti-Mask People are Passing Around, and Getting it Wrong
Sometime around July 8 to 11, this article made the rounds. It is an article that just won’t vanish, and as it’s passed around, the claims about it get more extreme. They completely misread the paper, which does not compare cloth masks to “no masks”. They compare medical masks and cloth masks to standard practice,…

Selected Posts from Facebook from May 2020
I try to delete posts regularly, and archive some in posts to my own blogs. I know this is destroying the archival aspects of replies, and I guess that sucks, but… I feel like it must be done.
