In fact, in my county – all together as of last week, there were only 22 deaths and that is since last March. I think the big jump in numbers happens in the larger cities – certainly not here in the rural areas. I don’t know of a single person who has had this virus – not even a mention of anyone in the local pipelines. Our director of Challenges knows of no one – and she certain would be informed – so for folks in areas like where I live, there is nothing going on at all and never has been.

The headlamp on the trolley seemed to flicker, and the 3–D effect appealed to her sense of whimsy. She lifted it from the rack and took a closer look. The trolley crested a swelling hill; the steep sweep of Hyde Street sank below the trolley’s bottom like the first plummet of a roller coaster.
