The UK has just overtaken Andorra in terms of number of deaths per population, becoming the third worst in the world after San Marino (only actually 42 deaths but skewed by a tiny population) and Belgium (who appear to have reported virtually all deaths in 2020 as Covid-19 deaths if there was even the slightest hint it might be involved).

My experience in Columbus, Georgia is that many restaurants are only doing takeout, a far greater percentage than was the case in any earlier locations on this trip. I'm not sure if that's a response to a new surge in the state or if this particular county decided to stay at this level when everywhere else in Georgia went to socially distanced dine-in mode. I will compare it with FL on my route home.

We're up to 1300 new cases today. Yet another record. It'll go down tomorrow as it is the weekend but on Tuesday when we get Monday's numbers I expect to be up at 1500
Meanwhile a friend who was covid skeptical now has her sister in law seriously ill with it in hospital. She's had a stroke today (connected to the clotting that comes with the virus) and things look bleak. I have met her (the s-i-l) a couple of times and she is great. It would be good if people who think it's fake news could be convinced of its seriousness without having to lose loved ones
In other news our next door neighbours who work most of the year in Germany came home. They told my other half that the virus is a fake and it is just a story so that Angela Merkel can inject everyone with a chip. When she started to argue they said "seriously you should read something about it". These are people with at best an 8th grade education. I mean how the fuck do we deal with this level of dunning kruger fucked up shit?

When I last met up with my ex, I spent 3 hours listening to the kind of crazy shit Ad Hoc reports above. Insane gibberish about UN agenda, Gates attempt to micro-chip us, vaccines are lethal, viruses do not exist, etc, etc...
She is (was?) an intelligent and sensible woman but now...

At least over here, it is rarely a book and most of the time a video or meme that doesn't require reading skills
Speaking of which, a number of Sinclair-owned local television stations in the US are broadcasting an interview with the "star" of "Plandemic" in which she maintains that Fauci created the virus.

Yeah, it's always a link to a video, length somewhere between 10 and 50 minutes, of a talking head "explaining" things. Usually in a slightly shouty way, absolutely guaranteed to make sure you don't watch more than 20 seconds even if you want to find out what these people are on about. And then the conspiracy troll says something like "Well! You didn't watch it! How can you be qualified to comment!"

This pattern is being repeated in a significant number of states.
Indoor bars are a real problem.
