Unsurprising

 It's been a few days now since Donald Trump tested positive for coronavirus. To which we can only say, in that tone of voice: quelle surprise. This is what happens when you don't wear a mask, when you don't socially distance, when you refuse to acknowledge the seriousness of a pandemic. There has been an ever-growing number of republican leaders also testing positive over these days, too - we open the news each morning, like an Advent calendar of disease. 

It is impossible to know what really is going on -- news reports differ, information conflicts, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing (or saying). 

I don't wish ill on Donald Trump. (I would like to think that I don't wish ill on any human being.) Nevertheless, now that he's infected, I wonder whether it will be serious enough (and that enough actual factual information is released regarding its severity) that his MAGA-hat followers will at last be persuaded that this virus is something serious, something that we all need to tackle together. 

Wear your fucking masks. It's not hard. It could save a life. That life could be yours. Or the life of someone you love.
