The number of coronavirus cases in Kentucky has now jumped to 163, with 39 new cases on Tuesday.
And according to the Courier-Journal, not all of these cases may have been accidental Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) is announcing that at least one of the cases is linked to a coronavirus party in which people gathered together to deliberately spread the disease amongst themselves.
It is unclear why, exactly, anyone would want to deliberately infect themselves at a coronavirus party. But regardless of the reason, it worked.

The people who go to that place would relish the opportunity to visit Trump's library at the same time.

(34,136 posts)The story follows John Barlow, who was put into suspended animation by a freak accident involving a dental drill and anesthesia. Barlow is revived hundreds of years in the future. The world seems mad to Barlow until he discovers the 'Problem of Population': due to a combination of intelligent people not having children and excessive breeding by less intelligent people and coupled with the development of more sophisticated machinery that makes it less important to possess intelligence in one's working life (see Fertility and intelligence), the world is full of morons, with the exception of an elite few who work slavishly to keep order. Barlow, who was a shrewd real estate con man in his day, has a solution to sell to the elite, in exchange for being made World Dictator.

Certainly beats the paranoid limbo the rest of us are stuck in.
