This is my first venture at a Substack so I feel it important to let you know who I am. I’m a small town boy who grew up in rural Washington, Virginia in beautiful Rappahannock county. Nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains at the entrance to the Shenandoah National park, Rappahannock county is one of the most unique places on earth. It’s hard to believe that such a tranquil and beautiful place exists only 70 miles southwest of Washington DC.
Hello from a kindred spirit in Idaho. Our experiences navigating the pandemic are similar and we share a faith perspective.
I began writing articles on Facebook early in the pandemic when my desire to understand that magnitude of the threat revealed that case fatality stats rather than infection fatality stats were being used to report on the probability of death.
This was clearly a blatant magnification of the threat by a factor of around 50 times. I knew we had a problem.
I’ve recently written an article that summarizes my perspective on what has gone down and makes reference to a number of my prior articles. They are on Wordpress as I gave up on Facebook some time ago, tired of the fact checkers.
The link is below. I hope you find it to be an encouragement. In our private clinic of six the other 5 do not share my perspective. It can be a lonely road. We need to encourage each other.

I mean no offence, Dr: how come you did not "come out" since 2020 when we needed you most? As you know, in life, timing matters.
Oh I think I did.
Ok. I did not come across you before.
