34. Yes!!! Do you know why?

Because all the viruses were reading the newspapers and magazines and watching CNN and MS NBC. And they heard the president say that it was over. So they pack their suitcases and left for a different planet.

Disease is like economic difficulty: if your neighbor is laid off it’s a recession if you’re laid off it’s a Depression. If no one you know is sick and there’s a virus if people you know are sick and it’s a problem if you or your family members are sick that is a serious concern. And I don’t mean a concern like the senator from Maine gets a concern. When this thing comes roaring back and it is in the process of doing so, all of a sudden it’s going to be a big problem. And people will throw up their Hands and say we’re doomed we may as well just let everybody die who’s going to die and such is life. Until of course it hurts their family, in which case it’s a catastrophe.

This asshole in the White House has led to a period of unbridled narcissism. I’m going to be obscure and make a Pun of a book title which was a science fiction classic and titled The World of Null-A by A. E. Van Vogt: this is the world of null-A: No Altruism. Sub-Species which do not possess the trait of altruistic behavior tend to become extinct before the others in their Species.
