A Grim Read

On Wednesday, New York magazine published an unforgettable article about the coronavirus (link here) that I post here with a warning — it's not an easy read.

The piece gives the reader a first-person perspective on what it's like to become infected with the coronavirus now plaguing the planet. It does not have a happy ending, but it's important to remember that most people will survive this virus — about 99 percent of people infected will.

People still would have sickened and died had Donald Trump not been President. Even the most skilled and able chief executive in the world could not have avoided this tragedy. But the crisis could have been a lot less severe and a lot less deadly in the United States if we had a President who confronted this disaster when it became clear it was getting very bad.

So read the linked article if it's not likely to upset you and remember, again, most people who contract this virus will survive. I hope everyone reading this who might contract the virus recovers quickly and with a clean bill of health.
