Learned the last 2 days that my home county, wait, my hometown, wait, the country seat, wait, the county seat AND my hometown,

THE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY WHERE MA HELPS TAKE CARE OF HER BEST FRIEND'S MOTHER,

are seeing more growth in COVID cases than much of the country is now.

My hometown, while still very white, has one of the largest concentrations of black people in this part of the state. The KKK never cleaned it out.

I'm imagining now doofuses in little white bedroom communities & farm villages saying that "the city" is where the COVID is.

Y'all work & shop here, y'know!

And it wasn't people in "the city" who might be gay, black, foreign, or (gasp) live in apartments who spread this. It was rich international travelers, & a government that covered it up.

I have a neighbor with MS who has to stay home until this passes or she may die.

And I see people going around without masks all the time.

Well, I put it off for months, but I have access to my old LJ account again. I think.
