This is depressing; stuck at home and reading this.
How the Pandemic Will End
The U.S. may end up with the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the industrialized world.
Possible, but "worst" must be determined by per capita outcomes. NYC has more people than many nations. As a country, the USA may fare better than most others.
No it won't. Witness: florida
And this country takes its "freedom" to extremes. I mean, people are balking at the shut down orders and our own whackjob leader doesn't want a bad economy on his watch, so he's making noise about urging people back to work.
Once again, when that office speaks, regardless of the idiot occupying it, things happen, things move, things react.
The president says people should go back to work, and asshats start reopening their doors.
The president says "good people, many sides, all side" and neo-nazis come out of the woodwork.
That office carries gravitas. The nutjob occupying it has to respect that power. This idiot du jour not only doesn't respect it, he flouts that responsibility with utter impunity and with abandon.
Good job, US Voters. Good job.
