Dr. Anthony Fauci’s Tuesday prediction grabbed headlines: that if we don’t turn things around, coronavirus cases in the US could surge from 40,000 new ones coming in daily to 100,000. By Reuters’ count, we took a step in that direction that very same day.

It reports that cases of COVID-19 jumped by more than 47,000 in the US on Tuesday, an increase it calls “the biggest one-day spike since the start of the pandemic.” The New York Times puts the figure at more than 48,000.

If this sounds like a headline you’ve been reading a lot lately, you’d be correct. Per the Times, “Tuesday was the fourth time in a week that the United States posted a new single-day case record.”

It reports that eight states saw their biggest daily increases yet on Tuesday: Alaska, Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas. Reuters notes that Florida and Texas are among 10 states that saw their COVID-19 cases more than double in June.

If memory serves me correctly there is a question and answer that probably responds to our problem here. Why do we actively recruit 18 year olds into the military? Well, they are young, strong, stupid, and feel like they are ten feet tall and invunerable? They have no fear until they actually encounter an enemy. Ah, I remember those days … basking in the 95 degree days on the South Carolina sun. Running, jumping andliving in fear of nothing and no one except my Drill Instructor who I knew was actually trying to kill me. They had promised me it would be fun and they would turn me from a boy to a man. I just did not know the transition would be this damned hard but it was too late now. Well, the young people today are much the same. They feel like the are bullet proof and nothing can harm them. Well, maybe it will and maybe it won’t but that bug they start carrying around is lethal to others. Dumbasses, they are now double agents.
