When they know people that get sick they will have a different response.
I'm old so I know the threat.
An acquaintance I know is a dyed in the wool Trumptoid who wouldn't wear a mask when he did his grocery shopping because he said it was against his liberties. His wife is the exact opposite and social distances from him. His best friend that he grew up with died recently of Covid19 in another country. NOW, he wears a mask, gloves and social distances when he goes shopping. It had to strike home to him before he got it thru his head that he needed to do so and I believe the only reason he does it now is to save his own skin. What a freaking asshole coward and there's plenty more just like him...

He's scared shitless and his buddy wasn't at risk.

If I wanted to read that, I'd read Richie's rants but who wants to do that?

Besides, who needs a vaccine when you can just take the hydroxychloroquine as a preventative. Ask your doctor for some, I'm sure they give it to you since the large orange man occupying the White House says it's OK. He knows more than the doctors, anyway. And generals, too.  
Jim, I find your post quite incomplete. You failed to include the opinion commentators on Fox News (namely Hannity, Carlson and Ingram) who parrot the president, or vice versa, on his use preventive use of hydroxychloroquine. Shame on you. PS: I wonder if they're taking it too...Why aren't you?

Disingenuity

Who's to blame in the US?, and since this whole thread is about "disingenuity", take your pick:

Or, maybe it's just those fat diabetic, hypertensive Americans:

Trump's Campaign Manager

I think Clinton's campaign would have paid the same to win. Maybe they paid the same to lose.
Is he a crook that is facing charges?
Mel,
Given what's happened with Trump's surrounding himself "with the best people", I'd say just give it time...

Mel,
It's pretty much uncontested as to why Trump won: he WAS seen as the anti-establishment Washington outsider who would bring "change" to America...
