Those who thought it was just a big Democratic hoax are about to get a big dose of reality. We are just getting started with the sick and dying. May all who are doomed to die have as peaceful a passing as possible. And may those who didn’t believe it is real admit their error and apologize.

Rest In Peace Ms. Mercader.

Famous, or at least well known public figures coming down with Covd 19. That's going to make it hard to blow this off as a big nothing invented or at least blown all out of proportion by the libs just to make Trump look bad.

You just know the likes of Trump or Hannity will be catching this bug too before long.
