VDH UltraThe Unpredictable, Unforeseen, and Simply Strange. Part Five
Victor Davis Hanson What caused a near septuagenarian to have a near death experience with a ridiculous bee (or wasp?), one who had been suffering from “Covid euphoria”—the syndrome of finally getting over long Covid and feeling invincible while exaggerating normal health into a sort of divine deliverance and jubilance—suddenly to return to square one? […]

VDH UltraThe Unpredictable, Unforeseen, and Simply Strange. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson I drifted out a bit again and woke up, maybe a minute later (so it felt like, psychodramatically, but I wager it was only a few seconds). Five minutes later, I crawled to the door to meet the paramedics and made it outside to the steps. An especially calm and polite woman […]
