6. This is why we're doomed

Not that we're all going to die, of course. But such a large percentage of Americans are just stupid, ignorant or represent examples of the Dunning -Kruger effect.

I have family members who still think the virus is a hoax! We're closing in on 300,000 deaths since March(!) and they think this is fake. One cousin said that wearing masks is part of the Democrats socialist plot to deny all Americans their rights. Insane.

We're having exactly three people at our Thanksgiving table: my son, my wife and me. I would love to dine with my 89-year old father, my sister and her family and my brother and his family as we've done for decades. Not this year.

We were walking in NYC this afternoon and I was appalled how many people were not wearing masks! This is New York State which is fighting really hard to stem the tide of the virus and yet, some people don't seem to care. It's baffling.

It makes us feel like it's everyone for themselves. Not a good look for America.
