Thank you very much, Lisna. She's sleeping again now after a rough morning with fever, increased pain and coughing. Thanks for your kind wishes for her - I really appreciate it. Hope you're taking good care of yourself as well.

2020 turning out to be deadliest year ever in U.S., mainly due to COVID-19

That would mark the largest single-year percentage leap since 1918, when tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers died in World War I and hundreds of thousands of Americans died in a flu pandemic. Deaths rose 46% that year compared with 1917.

In 2018 1918 was footnote. Now it’s like a goddamn crazy af horrifying chapter.

How is this even a story? Anyone could have guessed that, unfortunately. You guys are losing as they say a 9/11's worth of people every single day, you're on track to have had half a million deaths by early next year, and there are people literally dying from hunger and poverty, but not just homeless people anymore.

These images of all these trucks being halted in the UK is pretty disturbing

I was watching the report. Most of the drivers don't speak English, coming as they do from other places in Europe (Poland, Serbia, Netherlands etc) and the idea seems to be (nobody's confirmed yet) that they're all being directed to this airport to be tested. Who's paying for it, what happens if someone tests positive, what happens to the cargo they're carrying? No answers. Now, more than ever, we need driverless automated trucks!

Edit: borders open again.
