5. Daily new Covid infections is going up and up. A couple days ago U.S. was 2.11 times

what it was 3 weeks before, and 45% above the first wave peak in April.

Where I live, Minnesota, the latest number is up 36% from the recent low.

That INCREASING and ACCELERATING infection rate has made me shut myself back in. I was going to get out a little more but I look at the Minnesota curves and decide nah. It's perfectly OK to be a poop-dee-poo during a raging pandemic.

Instead, send him some horror links of what it's like to be a Covid patient on a ventilator. Or say someone you are taking care of or live with or whatever is a very vulnerable person and you don't want to risk infecting him/her/them. If that person is a RWer, ask why people in the White House West Wing (except Trump) are required to wear masks, per a May 11 White House management office memo. If its such a hoax or for wimps or whatever.
