No, I did not miss that. If it's not in the linked article, the implication is that we all just know to shower with our mouth closed. 2.9 million people, vs 149

By "miss" I wasn't implying you can't read or something, just that this national news item wasn't something you've seen yet. A common way to express that is "you missed it" or "i missed that". Let me rephrase my first sentence: You many not have seen this yet then... [snip some unnecessarily stuff in light of edit below]. edit: I just realized and maybe you also hadn't seen yet, the linked article is a summary of a video story. Additionally, the summary has been updated to include more information specifying Jackson and the title has been updated since I first looked, I suspect there is much more info now than when you first looked..

  I didn't miss it. I read about it on the 30th of Aug, on this article https://www.wsj.com/articles/jackson-miss-is-out-of-running-water-after-treatment-plant-pumps-fail-11661869317 https://www.wsj.com/articles/jackson-miss-is-out-of-running-...? It wasn't the only one I've read, either. Are you not understanding that I live in Mississippi, and I resent the implication that an entire state just has filthy water, because of one city with an awfully young man at the helm?

    I clearly was not. Why did you have to ask?

If even a small village in my country didn't have access to clean drinking water for more than a week I'd demand some unfortunate public official to commit seppuku. It's having standards.
