Yeah, that's one of the things that happens when a lot of people die in a short period of time.

the Washington thing is over now. I'm sure it will be available online soon enough, for anyone that missed and wanted to tune in.

I watched it.  It was almost a shock to the system to see empathy, compassion & reality from our next President.  It's just ceremonial, but it was nice to see something that has been missing for the last 4 years.  A leader with a heart & willing to show it.

You can find other articles about this happening as deaths spike in an area.  


I expect mobile morgues and refrigerated trucks are in high demand these days across the nation. 

But, you know, covid19's not that big a deal.
