COVID-19 Update

While Growth Rates aren't increasing generally, they're holding pretty steady overall. As they level off or drop in one place, they rise in another - just as the epidemiologists have always told us they would.

The only good news is that here in USAmerica Inc, the date on which we hit 100,000 dead has receded again - to about mid-May.

A Quote


Ali ibn Abi Talib was an in-law of the "prophet" Muhammad. Which means to me, he was a huckstering preacher - a guy who knew he could hold on to power only as long as he could keep the sheep in line, so...

First, you're not a fuckin' flower.

Second, even if you are a fuckin' flower, you still have a brain and you're expected to use it for something other than storing recipes and birthdays and the firing order of a Dodge Hemi.

Third - YOU'RE NOT A FUCKIN' FLOWER.

COVID-19 Update


If the last 24 hours is any indication, it's hard for me to feel reassured that somehow we're leveling off, or getting over the hump, or rounding the corner on this thing.

We added another 4,000 dead Americans to the list since yesterday morning.

Which means we're still on track, with one of us dying every 23 seconds or so.

And that means we're back on track for 100,000 dead Americans before the end of April.

But yeah - let's all stop this distancing nonsense and have a big ol' Back To Work Party.
