I see what you are saying....and agree.

I would hate to be just waking up from a coma right now. Imagine going under when Obama was president and waking up to Trump. That would make all of the Twilight Zone episodes look mild in comparison.

We are letting them get by with simultaneously calling it a hoax, a virus, a cold, the flu, and everything else under the sun but what it is. It's time to clamp down on them. They called it a hoax. I still say we hold them to it. Either it is a hoax or real. They don't get to have it both ways. They are getting by with claiming so many different things, because we let them. We need to stop letting them get by with it.

he's still clueless and he lives in his own tacky, gold bubble. He only sees and hears what he wants to see and hear from his ass kissers, Fux Ruse and his GOP enablers. He comprehends little and has no desire to be a decent POTUS or learn. He just did this as a publicity stunt to get more $$$ for his "brand". He always was and always will be clueless. If it isn't directly related to him, him and him he doesn't give a shit a d loses interest immediately. Sick, sociopathic sadist. Let's see how wonderful his name brand looks when it is known as "The tRump Virus" instead of The tRump Properties.

about the virus. Some young adults are so wrapped up in their own shallow lives, so self centered and vain, that nothing from the outside penetrates their narrow minded existence. I have a couple of great nieces who pay more attention to their posh wardrobe, frivolous parties, and the fast cars their equally brain dead boyfriends drive, than the world they live in. Nothing is more important than being the center of their bubble universe. They have no curiosity, no interest or desire to interrupt their glamorous lifestyles.

Another class of people who might be oblivious to current events are substance abusers whose only interest is where they can score their next fix. People with mental disorders, probably others too.

She's older, and a recent widow. I brought her a dinner plate sunday and told her about it.
She had enough supplies for a few weeks she said.
I told her to keep doing what shes doing, stay home, call me for anything.
Maybe I'll add her grocery order to mine so she won't need get out.
