Other countries won't weaponize viruses against the U.S. Our failure to do anything about COVID-19 is resulting in catastrophic loss that cannot be fixed. We did it to ourselves, thanks to the dumbest fucktard in the history of the world being allowed to slither into the WH. If this country ever recovers, it will take decades. It is more likely that it will not recover. With such significant portions of the population refusing to wear masks and significant portions of the population being anti-vaxxers, this virus will continue to rage through the country for years. Herd immunity is a fantasy. All that remains to be seen is how many people are able to survive and if there is anything worth living for if they do survive. This is literally the zombie apocalypse, brought to you by Trump and the GOP and stupid as fuck people and church going freaks nationwide. It's a slow motion shit show that will seem endless, with an untold amount of suffering. Again, the United States did this to itself and continues to do it to itself. That's why it really hurts. Pretending other countries need to weaponize viruses against us when we are our own worst enemy is absurd.

I am one of the lucky ones, I'll be dead (hopefully not due to COVID-19, I really do not want to be a victim of Trump's mass murder), but I will be dead. My illness will take my life soon (or I will take my own life, via Death with Dignity, before my illness takes my life. Either way, if I manage to avoid becoming a COVID-19 statistic, I'm still going to be zombie, one way or the other.

All I know is Council Bingo won't be the same after Trump is sent packing back to Moscow.

Really pains me to hear you talk like that Xina, but there is no just wishing the reality to change.
I always admire the clarity you bring to your posts.
I hope you can continue to contribute to the discourse for a good long while yet.

@6 Thanks. I've made my peace. I've already lived longer than I expected I would and if I don't die from COVID-19 and I live long enough to see Trump dead first, I will be happy.

@1 & @8 xina: I'm with kallipugos @6. It pains me, too, to hear you talk like that. I also fully admire your posts, because you tell it like it is. I hope you continue with your spot on commenting as long as you possibly can.
Here's hoping Trump goes first--preferably while dragged off kicking and screaming.
@2: YESSSSSSsssss!

@xina: As a person who likes to listen to all sides of the debate, I appreciate your comments and hope you are able to stay happy and comfortable for years to come. I must admit, I often don't agree with them, but keep them coming!

@Jasmyne: I'm not sure I'll morph into a gamer during the current TRUMPVID-19 pandemic. But I am quite the currently devout DVDer. And I cry at movies, too. :)
