mums are the last to die

Cases go up and up. Our governor just announced more restrictions for the next few weeks. Trump's 'medical' advisor urged Michiganders to protest (with their assault rifles and definitely no masks). What a crazy world we live in!!!!
If only we had a true leader back in February who was capable of understanding science. Of course he demanded the best medical care for himself. And he still won't concede the election, just encourages his cult followers to take up arms.
One of his ardent supporters did die recently, an old boyfriend of mine. Talk about the road not taken! He was one of the most intelligent people I ever met ( in understanding quantum mechanics and very advanced math) and has numerous degrees yet he loved Trump. I would read his diatribes and shake my head. What happened? He did think Covid was a hoax and less deadly than the flu (not true) I don't know how he died. I did know he had bad lungs and a few other comorbidities. He was so irritating, I was considering defriending him but recently I wondered how he felt about the election. He must have died the week before the election.
I recently had a physical and had one of those annoying dementia screens consisting of memorizing three words and then being distracted by having to draw 10:45 on a clock. Didn't want to forget those words and then being classified as dumber than you know who who actually bragged about acing his Alzheimer's test. Should have just drawn a digital clock. At some point, we will have a population that has no idea how to read an analog clock. I did get my flu shot, which my insurance company actually paid me to get though theoretically, if everyone is social distancing, how is it going to be spread.
So there is a vaccine that should start being used in a few weeks for at least health care workers and maybe the elderly. We shall see.

Meanwhile it is a bleak November. Not having the whole family over for Thanksgiving.

Hate the maskholes.
Hate the stupidity and blind loyalty to that tyrant

Sigh.
I have been watching the news from your side of the world in horror.
Our Government (Federal and State) took Covid 19 seriously. I am so glad that they did. We had 17! new cases in one State yesterday and action is being taken. It is no co-incidence that we are (mostly) on top of it now, though still on high alert.
I feel for you - and love the manure sculpture. So very appropriate.

Fortunately he is losing most of his attempts to throw out ballots. He invited Republican legislators recently (not our good Democratic governor) to the White House in an attempt to persuade them to orchestrate a coup. Not sure how successful he was.

Meanwhile record numbers of Covid cases and in school classes cancelled. No big family dinner here for Thanksgiving.
