• In hospital: 126,166 (+6,618)
  • In ICU: 21,707 (+497)
  • New deaths: 1,797

This is just the start, IMO. Those ICU numbers are probably the consequence of ~300k cases per day from 10 days ago. Biden is really going for it.

    And my dad insists that we'll just have to live with it. I ask him how he can be okay with it, and he repeats the party line with zero hesitation.

          The ones who survive/haven’t died yet love it. They’re going buck wild partying like it’s 1999.

      My dad got incredulous when I started ranting about needing a real lockdown. He said, "what, are we gonna change the foundations of the entire economy?" I said we should, because it's killing even more people than usual now, and that we should've done it 100 years ago when the Soviet Union gave us an example to follow." At that point it was clear to him that I'm an idiot and we didn't get any further with the discussion.

      Which is why the only way to stop them is to alert them to the possibility if social systems actually collapse the only thing they'll be living with is a very short ride in a tumbril.
