From the stated fact and the subsequent quote from the article?

I assumed that this is your statement; it wasn't in quotes.
That was just the Covid19 booster team kicking off another round...

If you wish to characterize my attitude as cavalier, so be it. I've just grown weary of the entire matter and no longer have the energy to "concern" myself with it.

Then there are those that see this as an opportunity to undermine Trump's reelection chances. Eventually, things will run their course.

It is interesting to see the extent to which many people's behavior can be controlled and manipulated.
The media didn't request and or/send hospital ships into harbors or invent figures of projected deaths. And "tent" hospitals in parks or elsewhere were necessary in some states early on in the pandemic. The media disinformation occurred from right wing news sources, especially from the likes of Hannity, Piro and Ingrham and others from Fox news as well as some of their doctors who minimized the problem. The way the problem was/is being handled by the Trump administration is a big cluster----, so you're right about that one, and you can throw in some Republican governors like Kemp and DeSantis, to name a few...

Looks like your state has lost a rep for awhile...
"Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana has tested positive for Covid-19, his office said Thursday.
He plans to quarantine for 14 days."

Not a shocker considering the reports over the last few months of Doctors being ordered to just "look at a person" and if they THINK the person Might have died of Covid, then they are ordered to sign the death certificate as being caused by Covid.

Once again, science at its finest.

"I don't know Dr. Jekyll, do you think he might have had Covid?  After all he was in stage 4 cancer, was in Hospice, and had been given 24 hours to live"?

"Yes Dr. Hyde, the report came back that he did test positive for Covid yesterday morning".  

"Well, that seals the deal.  He obviously died FROM Covid. Mark that death certificate POSITIVE"!

"Yes sir Dr. Hyde, WILL DO"!!
Ever heard of contact tracing? Obviously not...

Heard several Trumptoids joking about Covid precautions as I was jogging past them, from the other side of the street...
