The Virus Chronicles (continued)

There are a number of crazy cures and treatments out there for the virus, but one thing distinguishes them. Support for the cure(s) has coalesced about political lines. My sister has gone further. Not only does she support any kooky cure that the President supports, she believes that Dr. Fauci, a highly respected epidemiologist, has somehow invested in a counter cure that will make him wealthy; that's why he isn't touting “the President's cure.”

The Republican Party has been the anti science party for a long time, rejecting evolution and climate change, but they've now drunk a very different Kool Aid, one prepared by a narcissist with the maturity of a twelve year old who periodically points to his head and says “smart guy” in street corner New Yorkese.”

Meanwhile former Vice President Joe Biden, the probable Democratic nominee for president, is in his basement rec room making youTube videos, while the President campaigns every night with a new virus press conference. Biden has avoided answering accusations of sexual assault; he shouldn't worry. The friendly press will give him a pass, in spite of today's culture supposedly saying “believe the woman under all circumstances.” He is the great liberal hope, after all. I expect he is a loser. This race is one codger against another — who will become a doddering fool first?
