We've had concerts and festivals for months here in Perth.

We had a slight whoopsie in March when we went into lockdown, but by Easter everything was getting much better. By May - life was almost back to normal.

The only way America is going to overcome COVID is to wear their mother-f***ing MASKS!!!

You get idiots who say the economy won't survive a month if people don't work...

The economy won't f***ing work if people are DEAD!!!

Easy - the Americans think about doing what's good for the greater good of America, instead of just narcissistically thinking about only themselves.

Isn't that some kind of a riddle?  I'm a have to put my puzzler back on right now.

Nearly half of the population of the US, roughly 73.8 million, deserve to be engulfed in flames.

But, there are important natural resources here.  I suggest the deplorables be deported to a far-away colony.  Perhaps an island.  If it were its own continent, even better.

There's approximately 330M people in the US. 74 million isn't even a quarter. You need to work on your Math skills.

If you are talking about those who voted for Trump though - I'll forgive you.

Scilicet, among voters who voted.

Someone got a word of the day calendar....

81 million to 74 million = 155.    330 total... So 180, over half the US population didn't vote.  And those were record voting numbers.

I'm kind of liking the vader suit though.  No viruses.  Probably no pollen or dust either.  Don't have to think about sunscreen.  It's probably air conditioned in there for heat or cold.

No there isn't.  Simmer down, you.

I don't know.  What's a mask again?

What I do want to know is how festivus-minded Australians deal with cooking latkes during the season of chanukah, which can be dependent on the application of higher heats and added fats to the foods, in a certain tradition.

Not the first type of dish I like to prepare during a warmer season, although it can be done without much fuss.  What is it, like a million degrees down there yet?  Probably about beer thirty or so.

I know some people are against Biden, but at least he is trying to enforce the use of Mask wearing. Had Trump done that at the beginning of the year, we wouldn't currently be looking at the USA as if it was a leper colony...

I mean, more than half a million dead due to COVID. I'm saddened to hear so many have died from it over there... but sickened that nothing was done to lower that number.

Ironically, I think that's one situation where wearing a mask *isn't* required. On a stage, 20 feet away from the nearest audience member? Hmm.
