I live in Maine where white folks are common as fleas so mostly we give Covid to other white people. But racism is incredibly stupid, so to be expected from homo stupidus. (Nobody cares about my rants but there is only one human species/race. Differences in skin color, eye shape, etc. give us an excuse to act abominably, but we are genetically all the same with trivial differences.) 
So, like I said, we're all homo stupidus and if we don't smarten up soon, we'll be extinctus. 
 @453ca0c7 Yep. Extinctus is a definite possibility.

Some people aren't waiting for extinctus to happen en masse: they're taking it into their own hands:

Or the more entertaining(?) stories from the Darwin Awards website:

But time for me to return to local reality in which OllieTheDog--a fine exemplar of Caninus PrettySmartus--is patiently waiting for breakfast.
