The Coronavirus

[Bob Butler 54]

The boost in virus numbers expected with the start of the protests are starting to come in.  Up to this point the Happy Talk faction has tried to open up while the curves are still going up. The curves have not exploded up until now, but from here on in, well, boom.  I don't know how long before the Happy Talkers confront reality, but the next few weeks are going to be crucial.

Meanwhile, Trump is madly going around scheduling campaign rallies with minimum isolation and precautions.  He seems to be going all in for ignoring the problem.  The virus is too dumb to write him a thank you card. We will see just how strong either stupidity or really strong world views are. Generally I argue for really strong world views, but this time I can't work myself up for the argument.

Is ignoring a pandemic an impeachable offense?  I guess only if the Senate Republicans wake up.
