@futurebird My mom fully blames Trump for COVID. Never mind the persistent reservoirs in other countries and the northern European countries that tried ”herd immunity” with a disease that doesn't give durable immunity for those who've had it.
It has a long, asymptomatic incubation period. People love social norms and if someone says ”I'm not sick” even if they have no way of knowing that, well, not believing them is just rude!
COVID was inevitable. So's the next, worse, thing.
