Today's purge of this Stephen King nightmare.

Sometimes it's good to exaggerate a situation and come up with something that cannot possibly happen, because it helps to define the border between the real and the make believe. In these times it's a challenge. But I think I have a couple contributions:

In the news, Kushner sets up a covert surveillance system: The Stephen King explanation: He wants to know who survived the coronavirus so they can kidnap them, sedate them and pump them for plasma to make a vaccine.
