UK joins the 100K club

Read this next week, when Great Britain, population 60 million, achieves a dubious milestone.  Among those countries telling the truth, four have sprinted into the lead regarding killing off their citizens.  India is no surprise, having the largest population, and Brazil also packs boatloads of forsaken, caste-ridden souls into hovels of despair.  Mexico is unfortunate, the continental equivalent of Haiti, corrupt and too close to America to escape the fumes of hegemony and our rampant drug hunger.  The UK, though, is a shock, as their health care system is unmatched, and their education system doesn’t produce near as many drooling idiots as our lack of one.  But there you have it, the two most recent self-proclaimed world powers toppled by a virus, something quite easy to defeat as it requires mostly laziness, which we seem to have mastered, both to avoid, and to quell from spreading.  All we can do is lazily avoid following basic rules of hygiene and isolation following infection.
