The virus hit and trump told them it would soon go away. Then he told them that it would end when the hot weather came. Now the scientists are telling them that with the cold weather the virus and the flu would send more people to the hospital and people just don't care and these are not just trump followers. They are tired. We are still hunkered down and will stay that way as long as we have to but some family members are not. We have an autistic great-grandchild who was just tested positive because he has been going to school. This is going to be a winter like I have never seen in my 72 years.
