30. Sadly, acceptance

Sun Oct 25, 2020, 11:35 AM

Oct 2020

It's beginning to look to me that a large part of the American populace is ready to accept as many Covid-19 fatalities as might occur as long as they can drink, dine, swim and party like it's 2019. The "new normal" will not be masks and distancing but "Oh well, Covid nailed Uncle Phil and Aunt Sarah is sick; I'll be at the tiki bar if you need me."

Follow Trump and every city in the US will be converting their parks into tent hospitals staffed by "not a real doctor but I played one on TV."
