The Stages of Coronavirus

- Denial: In China: “Stop spreading panic! You’re under arrest!” Soon, in the U.S: “It’s just like the flu! You don’t panic over the flu! Get a flu shot!”
- Anger: “The government is incompetent!” “Democrats just want to use this to take down Trump!” “China did this to us!” “Trump is an idiot!” “You want to take away my liberties!”

So much for being a “hick” out in the boondocks!
I’m sorry, I’m in Covid overload right now.
This madness should not have progressed beyond the anger stage.
