Daniel Jackson #9 Minnesota football player collage shirt

Writing from faraway Australia I have to glumly report that our 2 most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria, as well as Canberra and its surrounds, are in hard lockdown and state and Daniel Jackson #9 Minnesota football player collage shirt irrespective of their political leanings, are taking no chance. There was a slight relaxation of public event restrictions towards the end of the 2020 pandemic – schools reopening, some theatres, concerts and sports events with limited seating – but no major festivals. Since then there has been the emergence of the even more virulent Delta strain – with no indication as to what even worse variants round the corner – and we are in total blackout conditions again – the wartime parallel will not be lost on you – or on me as an ex-Pom. So far the total death toll has not yet exceeded 1000, or only recently – in stark contrast to the daily death toll of 1000’s which you have been experiencing for weeks on end – and the population of the UK is only just over double that of Oz -but any resumption of “normal” life is just not on the horizon. In the historic past people rode out plagues, prayed to the God of their ancestors, and locked their doors until the pestilence blew over. In our time such death rates, and the yet-to-be-assessed degree of debilitation among those who survive -are just not acceptable. Much as I and my fellow-musicians, and others in a whole range of professions, are devastated by present realities, we have to accept that any wholesale re-opening of business-as-usual is not worth the risk.

Here is one from 1900. In the US, trees were confined to ethnic German immigrant communities at a time when there were not many Germans in the US before the 1820s. They were not a part of popular American mass culture before the 1840s. The large German immigration (and much opposition to them) was between 1840 and 1910. Over 4.4 million Germans came in that period. Even in the 1870s they were concentrated only in ethnic enclaves and much of America worried that the wold never assimilate. Germans were not considers mainstream Americans at this time. Here is where the lived.
