12. Oh, definitely! I was being sarcastic; I'm confident that Biden will get the ball rolling...

I really feel for you. I can't imagine having to experience the shopping hell you're having to deal with. Even though most people wear masks here, we have the maskless brigade that goes around sneaking up behind shoppers, reaching in front of them pretending to need something and then an inch away from your face saying, "Oh excuse me dear...ha, ha, ha." I personally experienced that in one trip from 2 people, and I've spoken to other residents in our community who have seen it and experienced it - a lot of the MAGAs here say it's "a thing." Our county doesn't even have a mask ordinance! We're close to Tampa and mostly surrounded by counties with mask mandates, but our commissioners will die before doing anything like that. And now all 67 counties are in the official, red, danger zone. They are now saying that even a robust vaccination delivery system won't contain it because the spread is so evenly throughout the state, and the experts are imploring DeathSantis to put restrictions in place, but he won't have it. And to make matters worse, half of all the cases in the country of the new, more infectious strain are here in good ol' Floriduh. If we make it out alive, it will be a miracle.
