20220329 - a million

 

One million people in the US have died from COVID-19. There were no buglers playing taps, no politicians offering condolences, no churches ringing bells.

'Cause we don't sing the same song anymore
And now your offering is silent requiem
Dorothy Heyward, Du Bose Heyward, George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin, "Requiem", Jump Little Children, Between the Dim & the Dark, 2004

The one millionth loss-of-life due to COVD was marked on May 14, 2022. Evidently, politicians count differently than others. There was a presidential speech, and bells tolled at the National Cathedral. Because of those that refused to be inoculated, over 300,000 of these deaths are considered to be avoidable. Another failure of our education system.
