It appears the US has given up in the fight against a virus. While the vir us is very tiny indeed, the numbers have brought us to our knees and the we ak are surrendering.
I'm glad I am in a state where the numbers are finally improving, Virginia. Maryland is also improving, both states finally getting the point across to people that they have to take this disease seriously. Just to the south is North and South Carolina where the numbers of new infections are out of control rising very quickly.
WTF is going on? Why don't people get as mad about hundreds and thousands of people dying every day as they do about drunk drivers or gun violence? I've seen property values drop because there was a single murder in a neigh borhood. Yet many respond to 100,000 deaths as if it was nothing to get ex cited about and we should resume our lives as if nothing was going on.
We only need to make a little more effort to get the infection rates down a nd get rid of this disease in a couple of months. But we just have too man y people who want to complain about not getting haircuts and dying to have a drink in their local tavern. Yup, die they will too.
