The podcast starts with some words from an El Paso, Texas woman, R.I.P before they put her on a ventilator and then is followed with your podacaster's regurgitation of NYT reporter Steve Simon's report of Washington DC CoViD-19 status quo. Karen said on NowThis News that it is unfathomable for >200,000 to have died. "it didn't have to be this way," she said. She was crying during the video she made. 20,000 small flags were put on the National Mall in Washington DC. God help us all.
