Hey there...so I'm still alive. Just not as active here as I'd like to be. A few quick updates.
1. I haven't exactly been trying to write anything new for a while...curse my lack of motivation.
2. I lost a job, lost my car and got a new job since the last update. Oh yeah and this virus thing happened too.

Okay, so before everyone freaks out, I am writing this as a kind of stream of consciousness, like a journal, and I need to get shit out of my brain. I do have a private one next to my bed, but I wanted to try something out. Maybe help some people understand why I am taking so FUCKING long to write. Don't be alarmed if this goes down "the rabbit hole."

Blog Number 69: A Coronavirus Update Edition

It's important to remember: a virus is not your only enemy in an outbreak. Some people will take advantage of the uncertainty and panic (and even altruism) to scam you. Stay safe online by following the W.H.O.'s guidelines below!

I watched 300 and 300: Rise of an Empire with Firesight to celebrate A Gentleman's Price and Fertile Ground, both written in 2015, for both hitting this milestone. AGP got it about a week ago with FG hitting today on Halloween of 2020. I'm proud of both of them and consider them major achievements and worth people reading to this day, even if both are radically different in tone.

0thly, my girlfriend is not a QAnonDeathCultist. She is simply a wuss afraid of medical procedures. This has already cost her many teeth in her 40s because she is too afraid to go to the dentist for maintenance and repair (her fear of the dentist causes her much more pain and suffering than the dentist ever could (at this point, her teeth are to bad from neglect that the dentist would probably have to pull all of her teeth and fit her for dentures)).

Maybe, I just pay more attention because I know a wuss who did not get her shots because she is afraid of needles and has fought the 'Rona for 3 weeks —— ¡ told her so¡ —— but I encountered 3 Branch CoViDians this week.

• I had an appointment with my Doctrix. In her waiting room was a CoViDiot refusing to put on a mask. The staff told him to comply or leave. He complied.
• I walked in public when a Branch CoViDian screamed at me "¡The Pandemic is over!".*

Since it gets brought up a lot these days, I'd find it fascinating to know: how do these two viruses compare? Say, on death rates? What sort of numbers are we talking about here?

First, a few clarifications, and then the numbers themselves. Please note that all this is for casual purposes only: this is not an official analysis!
