There are 192 countries that they didn't include. There are six other continents that they didn't include. There is another hemisphere on the planet that they didn't include. There are seven plants in this solar system that they didn't include. There are potentially 100,000,000,000 solar systems in the Milky Way Galaxy that they didn't include...Quote:

Not really.Quote:

Vermont: 138
Maine: 183
Alaska: 204
New Hampshire: 419
Wyoming: 517
South Dakota: 1297
North Dakota: 1417
Future generations will look at the staggering amount of daily dead and wonder "how could people have thought it was OK to do nothing?". Imagine how ridiculous the answer "because we didn't think it was that big a deal" will look then.Quote:

I believe 18 have died, but the governor's grandmother was one and somehow 'did not test positive' (meaning the governor insisted she not be tested).
Somehow I envision people doing a load of very physical work requiring close contact with others doing the same as having a higher incidence of getting ill than compared to some geriatric former bank executives and government officials whose hardest part of their work day is getting off of the couch and picking a few apples off of the ground.Quote:
