Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind.

I want to give those of you who have not been exposed to this new strain of Covid a warning. It is very insidious. I have had it now for almost 3 weeks it does not want to go away. I thought I was getting better, but now having a problem breathing. Please be careful especially the immunocompromised.
