Yes, we are still playing Covid19
Oct. 13th, 2020 10:31 amYesterday the US had 45,000 new cases of Covid19 diagnosed if you believe science things. There have been 220,000 dead in the US allegedly of Covid19 but of course some folks say that people dying in traffic accidents are "covid19 deaths". Those people probably vote R.
We're still playing effing Covid and it's fucking October. On July 1, we had 51000 new cases in the US that day. I guess we're doing a little better than that now because 45000 is less than 51000 but... dang son.
India and Brazil are both in six-figure territory for deaths. The Trump administration caught Covid19. My state is still under a mask mandate.
The election is in a few weeks. Currently Biden is leading at the polls.
Business is slowly becoming... the new normal? Whatever. I was allowed to file landlord-tenant complaints in the beginning of September and finally yesterday evicted the drug-addled girl upstairs at 321 who had not paid one red cent in rent since before January 2020. Constable came and posted the property, I changed the locks, the whole shebang. The girl owes me about $5500 that I will never see and the apartment is... very cluttered and filthy.
Children and Youth also just awarded full physical custody of her two kids to their dad. Girl went to another city and rented a one bedroom apartment, told the downstairs lady she was "done" with the kids. (That is not how I understand parenting to work, but also I am not a parent or on drugs.)
My other bad tenant (lost Section8 because beat up girlfriend, went to jail, also no rent since January) cleared out before I had to call the constable, called to make sure I wouldn't throw away his couch before he could get some friends and a pickup to haul it off, and then returned the keys. He still owes me a shitton of money I will never see, but he did clear out his stuff (except a couple of oversize antique televisions but I don't need a shovel to see the floor or anything) and gave back the keys. I've seen worse. Obviously, I will not ever rent to him again, but he didn't do anything to reach Legendary Status and he would never have gotten so far behind during a more normal time. We'd have had him out in March if we'd been allowed to evict. He's more just normal poverty style problems and not full-on off the rails like the girl at 321.
