I hadn't realized until today that we passed the 300,000 mark in covid-19 deaths, way back on December 11th or 12th. It's looking like we should pass the 400,000 mark in mid-to-late January (or even earlier, depending on how bad the Holiday surge is). 

Apparently, 1 in every 1,000 Americans has died from Covid-19. 

My family was upset that I refused to travel down there for Christmas this year. They had large gatherings of 15-20 people on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and no one wore masks. I want no part in this. I'm neither willing to run the risk of getting others sick, OR run the risk of getting myself sick. I was even exposed to someone who tested positive for Covid last Thursday (a customer at work), but the family doesn't care. 

My family is stressing me the fuck out. I'm glad I didn't go.
