265,076 deceased, of those 74,799 were in the United States. The numbers keep rising as I watch the “tote board” constantly change on a dedicated PC open to the COVID-19 stats page I previously mentioned. That many lives lost and communities are “opening up” again and more people are back out and about. Apparently there is a fine line between how much self-quarantine is too much and how much downtime it takes for local businesses to go belly-up. Most would rather risk their lives than go crazy from boredom and/or see their community die, apparently.

I guess I’m lucky to still have a job. And so I bury myself in TV, movies and games when I’m not working. Not that this is much of a change from my normal routine anyway.

These days, when I dive into YouTube or live TV I’m overwhelmed with pandemic coverage of all kinds and I have to wear a mask whenever I have to go in to work. When I go on Twitter, there’s Trump, saying something silly. This is the first time in history a US President has EVER been so ridiculous and said and done such horrible things, and still he has enough supporters to get elected President, and maybe STILL enough supporters to get re-elected. How difficult is it to just keep quiet? About anything. He would seem so much more intelligent. But he’s outspoken about everything, doesn’t keep anything to himself, and that’s what his supporters eat up.

Stephen King apologized for how close several of his horror novels have come to reality. What is this world coming to?

And I post something political? It’s the End Times.
