Trump Says That People Are Tired Of The Virus. Well, No Shit.

Donald Trump called his campaign staff today and said that Dr. Anthony Fauci, is a “disaster” and an “idiot.” He said that people are tired of the virus.
Well, no shit.
Everyone is tired of this. My coworker just got diagnosed. One of my best friends has it. A friend’s grandma just died from it last week. My son can’t go to school, I am working from home. We had to cancel our dream trip to Rome. Friends have lost jobs and my disabled clients are isolated and depressed.
I AM SO TIRED OF THIS.
But, you know what? You know what I do so that I don’t have to be tired of it anymore? I wear a fucking mask. I stopped going to restaurants. I stopped attending weddings with 200 people. I keep a safe distance from others. I certainly do not attend motorcycle rallies with 375,000 other people in South Dakota.
Wisconsin is my neighbor state and is one of the biggest hot zones in America for COVID. Weekly, I hear business-owning Trump supporters in Wisconsin complaining about restaurants and bars closing. Bitching about how the economy is hurting. You know what would get our economy back on track?
IF PEOPLE WORE FUCKING MASKS AND LISTENED TO SCIENTISTS.
Dr. Fauci graduated at the top of class from Cornell and has been in charge of the National Institute of Health since 1984. He has worked with six presidents and has spent his career researching AIDS/HIV, tuberculosis, Ebola, Zika and a handful of other infectious diseases. He oversees a budget of $5.9 billion dollars.
He has expertise in the evolution of viruses and how they are transmitted. He knows how the immune system works and the best ways to treat these deadly diseases. His entire job is keeping our country healthy. From 1983–2002, Dr. Fauci was the 13th most cited scientist among the 2.5 million who publish in scientific journals (Dr. Anthony Fauci biography, NIAID.nih.gov).
Trump has no background in science. No background in infectious diseases. He dismisses the need for masks. He holds superspreader events which ultimately led to his infection, along with several staff, his wife and his own son. He spreads misinformation and is causing our country to rot from the inside out. We are dying.
Over 220,000 people have died, with no end in sight.
I don’t care if you love Trump or hate him. Put your politics aside and listen to the man who has been practically married to viruses for 40 years. Pull your head out of your ass and slap a mask on it.
Please.
