People have given up.

Staying at home was too hard.Too much of a burden. They just couldn't hack it. Even with food being delivered, and TV, and internet, and games, and books (remember those?), they just couldn't handle it.

Not everyone is an idiot, of course.

But enough are.

Enough across the country in every city in every state are roaming out and about, shopping, mingling, partying, that the virus will absolutely catch fire and be 10x worse than the first wave.

It will be a tsunami of death.

I'm expecting in excess of 750,000 dead by election day.

I hope I'm wrong. But every indication I see is that too many people have simply caved and decided they would rather risk it than be safe and smart.
