Yep, where I live - a small town that's too obscure for any petty tyrants to bother making into their own personal despotism - I wouldn't even know there's a pandemic if I wasn't told so on a daily basis. Nobody wears masks, everything is open, and despite this nobody is dying except the very old or very sick, which is business as usual as far as I'm concerned.
Sometimes it feels like my little town exists in an alternate universe and when I have to go anywhere near the city I'm actually moving down the fifth dimension into Piss Earth. And I have to say, I don't like Piss Earth very much.
