Still...
...living in an asylum run by inmates.
So many people are out and about without masks, oblivious to the fact that vaccinated people can still transmit infection and keep Covid circulating.
NO ONE IS SAFE UNTIL EVERYONE IS SAFE

Over 500,000 Dead
The World Is a Beautiful Place
by Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919-2021)
The world is a beautiful place
to be born into
if you don't mind happiness
not always being
so very much fun
if you don't mind a touch of hell
now and then
just when everything is fine
because even in heaven
they don't sing
all the time
The world is a beautiful place
to be born into
if you don't mind some people dying
all the time
or maybe only starving
some of the time
which isn't half bad
if it isn't you
Oh the world is a beautiful place
to be born into
if you don't much mind
a few dead minds
in the higher places
or a bomb or two
now and then
in your upturned faces
or such other improprieties
as our Name Brand society
is prey to
with its men of distinction
and its men of extinction
and its priests
and other patrolmen
and its various segregations
and congressional investigations
and other constipations
that our fool flesh
