Somehow, that comment about a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet comes to mind.

Classic "regret lottery". They tend to work by the way. And as someone living in the state (that's lagging behind others at less than 40% fully vaccinated), I don't really care what motivates more people to get vaccinated. I only care that it's getting more people to roll up their sleeves.

New cases are still on the rise in the three Ohio counties near me. One of those counties (the one I live in) has the 4th highest new case rate in the state.

They're also having full scholarship lotteries for the under 18 crowd who are vaccinated.
