than I hope they all get very ill from the virus. Unless it affects someone personally some idiots do not give a shit. They are going to bankrupt and kill us as long as they remain healthy and rich.

I do worry about the staff who will be working this event. Would not be surprised if the were fired if they became sick.


Too true

Other than that, KICK OUT THE JAMS, TRUMPHUMPERS!!

It turns out the story was probably apocryphal, but it does make for an interesting analogy.
