Two worlds..

There are two different worlds out there... within the US.
I had NPR on, and medical experts were saying that we need a serious lockdown because the virus is out of control in many states, and a we need lot of mandatory distancing and mask rules.
Then... because I love to torture myself... I tuned into the local AM rightwing screamer station.
Within one minute.. my breakfast started to come up, so I had to move on... the resident whackjob said: "Masks are an attempt to get Americans to blindly obey the government." and "Lockdowns have been proven NOT to work."

And then there is this....

We are NEVER going to get any kind of handle on the virus.... or the economy.

The repugs won't do it because trump thinks opening up the economy is the only way he can get re-elected. Of course that's absolutely wrong. Re-opening, as has been shown, results in resurgent spikes of the virus.

Biden will call back all the pandemic control programs and people he and Obama had in place and will listen to Dr. Fauci and get national testing and tracing and mandatory masking in place—and a needed shutdown.

trump, his sycophants and their stench have to be flushed down the toilet before we can get a handle on this.
