Maskless Marauder 0
I have to agree with the masked fellow who was ahead of me at the drug store the other day. I overheard him saying to the clerk, “Why do they want to go around infecting people? I just don’t get it.”

Oblivious to the Obvious, Susceptible to the Stupid 0
Aside:
Someone I know has fallen for the “Bill Gates coronavirus microchip” pfiffle and was recently trying to convert someone else I know. This person is constantly urging friends to watch this or that nutbag Youtuber “to learn the truth.”
He also expects to make a fortune from Iraqi dinars.
We are a society of stupid, no longer capable of critical thinking.
The Epidemiologist Speaks 0
As aside, I must say that this is potentially a most disturbing news item.
