Why media not covering new COVID-19 variant IHU?


 Why media is not covering the new French Covid 19 variant , IHU or B.1.640.? 


The media has not been covering the discovery of a new Covid 19 variant found in France.  The IHU or the B.1.640 latest variant has 46 mutations. The French are testing to see how effective the vaccines are for these 46 mutations.  The World Health Organization has not labeled the new strain as a variant of any concern. This variant is currently only in France. 

The media is not covering this latest variant because they may not want to scare the public.  Since the French only recently discovered this variant in September 2021.  There may be not much information about this new variant that the media believes doesn't warrant coverage.  The media's job is to report the news and not consider these reasons as to why not to cover new variant.  Could it be that governments are asking the media to not cover this new variant as to not alarm the public.

The media may not want to cover the latest variant because the American public will start to question the effectiveness of the vaccines.  If people start to question the effectiveness of the vaccines. They will ignore vaccine mandates or any new proposals for other vaccines. Americans have to remember that Covid 19 is a virus. There are no cures for viruses only treatment.  The vaccines are a tool, along with masks to prevent getting Covid 19. 

The media is not covering the recent New variant as to not discourage Americans from the emotional aspect in dealing with Covid 19, such as stress, anxiety and depression.  Imagine having to learn that Covid 19 is never ending as this new variant is discovered.  This information will negatively impact a person's mental health. The media is choosing to ignore this latest variant because they don't consider it newsworthy.  The media always gets to pick and choose the stories they cover that is why some story topics are ignored.  For example stories about poverty in America.  The media outlets pick what is newsworthy and what drives ratings. They fear that reporting about the latest variant would not be newsworthy enough to report on since Americans would tune out this news.  Americans that are tired of Covid 19 coverage would or might tune out the latest news on Covid 19 affecting their ratings.  

The media might be skeptical about latest Covid 19 variant. They might want to gather more facts before fully covering the latest variant from France.  

These could be some reasons as to why the media is ignoring the latest Covid 19 variant from France. One can hope that the news media will cover this story like other stories and not consider any reasons as to not cover it.

Snow babies history oh great snow babies

 Snow babies were created by Hertwig and company Thuningia in 1864 according to kovels.com . Snow babies were made out of candy and kept as Christmas decorations because they were cute children in white snow suits.  As the years went by many companies made bisque models of snow babies since people were keeping as collectibles.  

The narrative as to how the snow babies got their name was due to admiral perry .Admiral Perry was on expedition to find the north pole with captain Cook and he brought his pregnant wife who had her baby in the north pole.  The Eskimos and natives had never seen a Caucasian baby in that white climate so the baby was known as a snow baby.  Hence the figurines got the name snow babies because of children in white suits.   Many German companies made snow babies before WW I and made them different sizes.  

The snow babies made after WWI were made by many Japanese manufacturers.  In a catalog dated in 1914 these figurines were referred to as Alaskan tots and the cost was 90 cents for a dozen.  

It is amazing how much the snow babies cost back then when you compare it to this time how much they cost.  The value of the snow babies can go from under 10 dollars to 100 dollars.


Snow babies were reintroduced by Kristi Jean Pierro for Department 56 in 1986.  She made them from bisque and glitter sand.  Snow babies instantly became collectibles again.  


I went to the Sheriffs thrift store and found two great snow babies.  I quickly added it to my online shop and it sold quickly.

These are just adorable and now you know why they are so collectible.

Our nation shall rise from a great divide


 

  • Our Nation is divided

For so far it is blighted

With our differences so stark

Pure motives are too dark

We fail to reach consensus

As politics have lost their senses

News media have chosen sides

Contributing to a farther divide

Fake news created every day

Facts no longer the only way

Alternate news has created a strong base

Many without a moral compass or space

How can they not know what is true

Have we all got dumber with the news?

Some want to hear news they agree with

They claim that they don’t believe in any wordsmith

The pandemic has made it worse

Combined and brought together under this curse

The past two years have been bad

Seeing our World has become sad

Our Country has been tried

As Some Politicians have lied.

Our Country is our strong hope

We are riding a slippery slope

Amanda Gorman spoke in rhyme

As she read the Hill We Must Climb

She spoke of obstacles and slopes

Most importantly of our many hopes.

We must come together now

Or lose ourselves forever shall

If Americans don’t participate

Anger and ruin will prevail in hate

We as a country must go through tribulation

As we come together as a Nation.

We shall rise like a phoenix

As we reach our zenith

The words that surprise

Our Nation shall rise.


Our nation shall rise from a great divide
