Yesterday we hit the milestone of losing 2 Vietnam war's worth of dead Americans. It took 58 days of the pandemic attack to hit the first alotment, and it has now taken 48 more days to hit the second alotment.
During the late '60s and early '70s, I remember the local TV station rolling the names of the day's war dead, with somber music playing in the background. This went on for years, and it seemed at the time insufferable. Now, this isn't taking years. In the past 48 days, we have lost as many Americans as we did in Vietnam from 1955 to 1975. In the past 106 days we have lost twice that amount.
And, given what is happening in Texas and Florida and Oklahoma and Arizona, and, and, and and........ we are on track to lose another Vietnam war's worth of Americans in an even shorter period.
Luckily, Dumpy the Wonder Prezidunce has given us a perfect solution. Just stop testing, just stop counting and the losses will stop. That's just what I would expect from a "Stable Genius".
