The Quarantine Chronicles, Day 67

DAY 67: Or, let's play another game

it's a math game too, I know you

like math, who doesn't? The percentage

game: 50% 10% 95% and so on

even say goodbye, no last "I love you, kid"?

-- that seems a bit high

-- oh, it's wrong, it's 7.5%, is that okay now?

where's the curve go down, up

round the bend, loop-the-loop, what

1% infected, sick, some dead

is that acceptable?

that's 3.4 million Americans

you know, you will know a lot

of them, if you're not one --

Hey, TV Doctor Strange, is that 

a tolerable percentage?

I know some other doctors, real ones

who are giving 110%

and they'd be in that number

when the saints go ...
