“And guess what, after November 3, coronavirus will magically, all of a sudden, go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen.”
—Eric Trump, in interview on Fox News on Saturday. [Yes, Eric, and guess what else? The 100,000 Americans who have died from the coronavirus will suddenly spring back to life. And by the way, wasn’t it supposed to have “magically” disappeared in April?]
Magic can be tricky. Also, I think Eric may have brain spurs.
Well….I actually have a relative who declares that this is all a hoax because he doesn’t personally know anyone that has had or has died from the Virus. Guess where he gets his info….he can quote FOX like a robot. So, Eric does have an audience, sadly!
Ms. Herring, last week one of my friends told me that when they get the vaccine and give it to you, they will plant a chip in your arm too. So they can track you. And if you refuse the chip, they will not give you the vaccine. “Well of course” is all I could say. Sunday I attended the 7 year old’s baseball game. Four playing fields with games, about three to four hundred people. Kids were in the dugouts like always, bleachers were blocked, social distancing signs all over the place, people were all next to each other ignoring all precautions. I was the only one with a mask. I guess the Trump magic has already made CV disappear.
CJG….Maybe we are suffering from too much exposure to too much information and are too lazy to filter and seek out truths….but, the “herd mentality” is strong….everybody else is doing it…and I am so bored…better bored than deathly sick and/or dying. As Fauci said….this virus is among us, silently stalking us, we can’t see it, it is waiting to pounce on us….or something like that.
Here is a part of the interview in New York Times Magazine with John M. Barry, the author of “The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History.
“A hundred years from now when a historian is writing a history of the 2020 pandemic, what do you think will be its overarching theme?
If they’re writing about the United States, it would be the incomprehensibly incoherent response. Every country seems to have had a different response. Some of them quite good. Some are not so good.
What do you think was the most important lesson learned from the 1918 pandemic?
Tell the truth.
Did we learn that lesson?
Apparently not.”
You can go into any store and it seems as if half the people there are not wearing masks or observing social distancing. If we don’t do better I’m afraid that we’re going to regret it sooner than later.
CJG: Sunday I made a quick trip to the grocery. Had jotted down what I needed but was in a hurry since the store was closing soon. I forgot to grab one of the disposable masks I had but didn’t realize it until I was in store parking lot. Most of the people in there had masks on and I felt almost naked not wearing one. Solution: I put a couple of them in a zip lock bag and put them in the vehicle.
No idea why he would say that. You probably believe in Big Foot and unicorns, too. Journalism really is dead.
