Was in the Doctor's waiting room this morning here in Texas. COV-19 came up in the room

The chatter was the Trump narrative down to the, it is just the flu, it is the Democrats' and Media's fault.

The economic downturn does seem to be concerning though.

They used to be but I haven't checked in a while. That's why they got away with so much bs in the past.

They don't realize there's a world beyond the United States. They don't realize there's news from other countries. Maybe they don't even know there are other countries.
