I don't even like talking about the virus anymore.

I don't know how much more of this I can take. Or society for that matter.

I know that it's unavoidable right now but this shit is just absolute insanity. I literally found myself watching Spongebob Squarepants because it was the only thing I could find where they weren't talking about it.

I just want some good news for a change. Everything, and I mean literally everything is bad right now. Am I self centered for thinking this or does anyone else feel this way?

You know it’s going to happen and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. That we all knew something like this was inevitable doesn’t help matters any.

with a boom but this is incompetence at its ugliest.

I know more than the imbecile. You know more than the imbecile. All we have are imbeciles that think they know everything.

I was on a JetBue flight yesterday and I kept flipping through the channels trying to find something that wasn't talking about the virus and it either that or the Food Network.

it is getting really hard to tolerate all of this.

I swear if I voted for someone and absolutely loved everything they stood for and they governed like this I would be ready to can them by now. We are not meant or physically and mentally able to handle a non stop onslaught of crap like we have since Trump. We were slowly prepared as the RW got crazier and we did make it through GWB. Still, this is so hard to take. All of our immune systems are probably affected every day and have been since he was elected and this is not helping.

I still have to keep up. My lungs are challenged and I am in the "elderly" set (that just feels so odd) so I am pretty much self isolating. It is getting hard to want to know what is going on and when that happens you just know that is the time you need to pay attention the most.

Deep breathes, do something or listen to something that makes you feel good but do not go away. We have to be on our toes, this is dangerous and we are being run by a mean, incompetent, vengeful man.
