I did not read the three pages of comments, so no way of knowing how far OT I am. But I had an interesting conversation about covid and abortion at my local diner. It was way back when we thought a thousand dead a day was a lot. As usual I was the only one in the place wearing a mask. They had just gone from take out only to 25% capacity indoors. Passing the time until my pork chops were ready so I could get the hell out of there, I asked the waitress how they were doing with the new rules. She said it was crazy that they were having to do anything. I pointed out the daily average on a running weekly basis was hovering around 1000 dead per day. She said, well, there are over two thousand abortions a day and none of those liberals seem to give a damn about that. I really wanted to tell her you couldn't catch an abortion from someone breathing on you, but I didn't want spit in my mashed potatoes, so I just nodded and waited in silence.
I still get my porch chops to go. But the wife has had both shots and I've had my first. So we did stop in and eat breakfast the other day. It was after the rush, so not too crowded.
