NO ONE is wearing a mask

‘cept me, Ten, Jen and Oni or so it seems.

Yesterday, I 'ran' errands (Ten drove), like a normal person. Afterwards I was in definite pain. Warum?

A) It was TOO DAMN COLD AND WINDY!!! Also the sun was blindingly bright, making it hard to see.

B) It’s been about a month since I’ve been for a ride in my suspension-free Smartcar. I’d forgotten how abso-fucking-painful that is. I swear, ten minutes in the blender on purée, with a few dozen granite boulders for company, would hurt less.

Our new car, a two door electric emerald MINI was due last month. Of course it’s not here yet and OF COURSE the dealership’s customer service hasn’t kept us informed as to when it MIGHT show its face. I'm distinctly UNthrilled.

After the biting cold and the blender-filled-with-rocks car ride, I was in no mood or shape to go for a walk. While out I was stunned to find that NO ONE in the stores or bank was wearing a mask. I suspect these are the same fools who go to Vegas and bet a year's worth of mortgage payments, the kid’s college fund and when that’s gone they hock their wedding rings. Why? Losing, (in this case, death from COVID), can’t possibly happen to me!

Top five country’s COVID Death Ranking

1. USA, population = 334.8 million, total deaths = 1,111,664, deaths per million = 3,320
2. Brazil, population = 21.35 million, total deaths = 691,435, deaths per million = 3,211
3. India, population = 1.4 billion, total deaths = 530,663, deaths per million = 377
4. Russia, population = 145.8 million, total deaths = 392,832, deaths per million = 2,694
5. Mexico population = 131.5 million, total deaths = 330,729, deaths per million = 2,514

The US has 24% of India’s population but our deaths per million are 8.86% higher. With all our maskless MAGAt morons, that the US is considered an advanced nation is utterly inconceivable.

Mind you, I don’t trust Russia’s numbers or, frankly, our own. Our numbers are much worse than what's shown here. Florida (and others assuredly) notoriously undercounted and Russia has famously done the same. Still, thanks to tfg the US is number one, ON THE PLANET, for COVID deaths.

Yeah, I won't be going errand running again any time soon.
