1 /5 Rich Cross: 18 months into this pandemic, maybe a million dead in the U.S. from it, and not a mask in sight. Then I was told "its just like the flu. We all had it here, and were doing fine!" As I walked out the door, I heard, "Ive got a live one here." I sat outside on the ground in the patio area, which has no furniture, because, well, I guess theres no reason people would want to social distance, outdoors. Nuts.
