So I already confessed to having gone to Vons today, but now we're home watching the news and it's a reminder that we should be terrified to be out in public, when the news is interviewing travelers and they say things like, "I'm not worried, plus I've got my number one fan on my side," (while pointing up to ? Jesus? God?) I hate to break it to that 60+ year old black woman, but statistics are not on her side here.
Since I already got my other post out today, I'm doing my daily data a little early, but the County has only partially updated, so I'll throw in hospitalizations and ICUs if they update later. For now, we're enjoying Christmas Eve around home. I made a huge breakfast of bacon, eggs, hash browns, and tortillas, we watched Love Actually, and now we have my giant rib roast in the oven, driving the dog crazy from the delicious smells coming from the kitchen.
Don't forget that tonight is Exile on Kettner Blvd, the Casbah's annual Stones tribute night, and it will be free on Twitch starting at 7:30 (donations welcome and encouraged.)
Peace out, y'all. Merry Christmas Eve!

- I don't like to post speculative articles, and I should've included a giant asterisk on Sunday and Monday when we were made to believe that a bipartisan agreement would actually get signed by the oval office occupier. So here we, no deal on Christmas Eve, our unemployment expires on Saturday, are and I guess be surprised at nothing, wait until Monday, or a weekend surprise, or maybe we will be waiting until inauguration. What we do know is to always expect utter chaos, no reverence for precedent, and complete disregard for the American people.

On Thursday, California became the first state to record 2 million confirmed coronavirus infections, reaching the milestone on Christmas Eve as close to the entire state was under a strict stay-at-home order and hospitals struggled to cope with the biggest crush of cases since the pandemic began.
The first COVID-19 case in California was confirmed Jan. 25. It took 292 days to reach 1 million cases on Nov. 11. It took 44 days to get to the next million. - U.K. variant puts spotlight on immunocompromised patients’ role in the COVID-19 pandemic - Science Mag (12.23.2020)
