A portion of it is irrational fear, but a more significant portion should be blamed on the former president for politicizing a public health issue. He made resistance to science and the scientific experts a political statement. From initially playing down the significance of the virus to protect "his" economy to scoffing at masks, to flouting social distancing to his juvenile cures. The amazing is that the GOP followed his lead. They seem to lack the ability to understand reasonable arguments and blindly follow the closest thing to an idiot that has ever been elected president. But let’s all have a Clorox nightcap, cleanse our innards and wake up or not, to a new day.
