It was a mostly maskless crowd, which intermittently chorused the phrase “four more years” in chants from chairs drawn closely together on the South Lawn as President Donald Trump gave his GOP acceptance speech. The absence of social-distancing and flouting of masks seemed to complete the game of make-believe that themed the week’s festivities: that the coronavirus pandemic was a nightmare of moths ago — a non-reality.
“Because we did everything we could to dismiss, and ignore the danger of the disease in January and February and March, creating a total leadership vacuum resulting in a patchwork of responses when states and institutions within those states were forced to react because they saw others reacting, not through any coordinated strategy, everyone’s going to get it eventually.”

Death Cult45. The Kool-aid was aerosolized. It’s no exaggerated metaphor and hasn’t been for ages. We have to forcibly remove and shame all of them and their supporters.

Assuming a 1% mortality rate he’s blithely consigning 3.24 million people to death. If that mortality rate is argued and you halve it for the sake of moving on that’s over 1.6 million dead.
Should we start a Dead Pool?
I’ll go with Rudy for starters, he was flop sweating while crammed in those seats in the humid air filled with Covid-19 particles dancing about looking for victims.
I’ve worked in the area for the last two years (it’s near the project I’ve been on in Chicago that ends today) and more than a few of my coworkers live there (preferring to have the cheaper WI taxes over the IL taxes).
I can’t say for sure that this is endemic from my own experience, but it appears this is SOP for this PD.
CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta reported that a senior White House official had swatted away concerns to him earlier in the evening about the lack of social distancing at the President’s acceptance speech, saying, “everybody is going to catch this thing eventually.”
We can only hope that the obese old guy in the White House will be among the next group of covidiots to catch it and that it will be a very serious case indeed.
