[NMCycling] do send letters to Grisham

Wed Jul 15 11:20:02 MDT 2020

In the United States, over the course of 12 months, there were
approximately 60.8 million H1N1 infections and 12469 H1N1 deaths.

In the United States, over the course of 6.5 months, there are
approximately 3.6 million COVID-19 infections and 139505 COVID-19 deaths.

We may be better (it isn't clear yet) at controlling the COVID-19
infections, but the COVID-19 death rate is an order of magnitude greater
than H1N1 in half time time.

Anti-maskers: You may not care if you and yours get sick and die (I hear
"If it's my time, it's my time" a lot these days), but you're infringing on
my right to live if your pig-headed stupidity kills me (or one of mine). My
right to live outweighs your right to make bad choices that can result in
the death of others. Stop the stupid. Stop the whining. Wear the mask.
