Some fun Census stats on 2010-2020:

>> McKenzie County, North Dakota (!) was the fastest growing US county, up 131%

>> The Villages, FL was the fastest growing US metro area, up 39%

>> US population growth this decade was slower than any other this past century, save the 1930s

Catastrophic climate change will deal with humanity and this planet as it will. No other hardships will compare.

There have been enough nasty cases, earlier on, that a lot of the residents either know someone, or know of someone who died or had a really bad time with the Covid. For example, my parents decided to hustle to get their shots after one of their neighbors landed in the hospital and came home on oxygen, which she'll probably need for the rest of her life.
