Just remember: COVID-19 is still killing.
The death toll has already surpassed
52 Bakersfield California 384,145
53 Cleveland Ohio 381,009
54 Aurora Colorado 379,289
55 Anaheim California 350,365
56 Honolulu Hawaii 345,064
America's biggest tropical tourist destination, Home of Disney's Magic Kingdom, home of one of the finest symphony orchestras in America (as well as the Cleveland baseball, basketball, and football teams), and "Nashville West".
Next two stops on the grisly tour of urban comparisons:
51 Wichita Kansas 389,938
50 New Orleans Louisiana 390,144
I could make a sick pun about New Orleans being "The Big Easy"... there's nothing easy about dying of COVID-19.
Almost certainly within the next few days:
49 Arlington Texas 398,854
The Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers play here. One of America's biggest suburbs.
48 Tampa Florida 399,700
47 Tulsa Oklahoma 401,190
Probably the same day as Arlington, Texas.
-- and probably in time for Inauguration Day:
46 Minneapolis Minnesota 429,606
45 Oakland California 433,031
Home of Clorox Corporation, which strongly disparages President Trump's suggested (internal) use of its bleach products. (Use it to clean surfaces, of course!)
...I expect the Storming of the Winter Palace... excuse me, the Capitol Building... to be another big super-spreader event.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
