Obviously there is nothing funny about a pulmonary virus that has killed and will kill again.
Speaking of Kafka, I could replace "Orwell" with "Kafka", both of which have become increasingly relevant in America -- where one never expected such.
Yah. I was faulting Trump as much as Kafka.
When I was into genealogy a bit back, one letter from a great aunt to my father included life from way back on the farm. Included was one section on the flu epidemic during World War I. She wound up being sent for a while to the island of Nantucket in a decent enough attempt to isolate. It was a big deal at the time.
