‘No evidence of decline’ in COVID-19 rates in England’s third lockdown.
Shocking not me. Lockdowns have nothing now to do with the virus and won’t help much if any against it at this stage. They work early; later, not so much.

That’s going to be the story of the next four years. Trump: omnipotent god-like titan of malevolence and power.
Biden: tiny little baby bird that can’t get his wings, wet, dirty, or even too much sun or it’ll just be SO ouchy.
There are 200k Americans living in its biggest cities (housed) without access to piped running water! How is that possible? @StatistaCharts via @SoberLook pic.twitter.com/ClQB9X9MwU

The answer is that this is a third-world country, and becoming more so all the time.
I expect severe travel restrictions, lockdowns and other controls to never go away now. Once “security” measures are put in place, they rarely reverse.
I hope I’m proved wrong. But I won’t be.
What the fuck. How can we fail so hard when we knew for months and months vaccines were on their way?
In the future, “America” will become synonomous with the word “failure.”
“Oh, damn, I just americaed that!”
