Here's an example of how commonplace those mass shootings in the US have become...

New Variant has Double Mutation

Right. So let me see if I understand this.
India, which is suffering from millions of infections and can't control the virus, has given us a new variant. Boris Johnson, due to go there on a junket sorry important diplomatic mission next month, has NOT cancelled it but scaled it down to one day? So - he'll be going from the UK (where there are 77 cases of the variant already) risking bringing it back and presumably coming in with no quarantine restrictions as he's the PM. And he's already had Covid.

Anyone else think this is irresponsible? Anyone else surprised? No? Just me then. OK.

History doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme? A quote by Mark Twain?

A) never heard of that one
B) what are you referring to? Toddlers?

Eight people with injuries consistent with gunshot wounds were pronounced dead at an Indianapolis FedEx facility, police said.

Authorities said they were aware of multiple other injured victims in hospitals.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

You know what's so crazy about this? It happens - almost - in one of my stories. It's foiled at the end by a driver, but still... :eek:
