Talking to a friend tonite. He hates trump and the rethugs [View all]

But I was kind of surprised to hear him expressing doubts about the pandemic. It sounded like his rationale was that he didn’t know anyone who had gotten sick themselves or knew anyone who had gotten sick. I didn’t argue about it with him, but if he thinks that way I can see how trumphumpers have themselves convinced it’s overblown or something.

I think it’s real likely the US will try to open back up for business like the orange POS wants, sooner rather than later. Then things will start all over again. Most people I know are taking the whole thing seriously, but I realize I don’t associate with a lot of people and am surprised when I talk to someone who is not taking it seriously.
