(3,056 posts)We are going to pretend this new horrible disease 🦠 does not exist?
Looks like the Republicans are once again the party of death and destruction. They are going to realize their logic of doing the exact opposite of what the Democratic Party does is going to accelerate their shrinking demographic base. They must reject Trump, throw his ass under the Greyhound bus and say, sorry folks, that guy was a traitor and a liar. Or do they want to start digging their own graves now too to really own the libs?
Trump should just dye his hair black, break out the Elvis sunglasses, and start serving the Kool Aid and cyanide.
I have no joy watching anyone suffer and or die. I dont now what I can do on a personal or at a group level to help those that do not want it. Life is a fragile precious gift.

Through both ways, our country should achieve herd immunity in the next few months as unvaccinated people gather indoors for air conditioning this summer.
