There are fewer Americans dying this year than were dying in 2019 at this date in time.

Yep. This, as does many threads posted in “news”, belongs in chat. Not worth the bandwidth.

I’m sorry you all have to deal with my stupid-@$$ countrymen. There are Canucks up here who aren’t worshippers of Marx.
