A lot of people are idiots. This is always true- and it doesn't help when the POTUS is an idiot and encourages more idiocy.

There are a lot more sensible people than it seems, because they're not the ones making videos about the virus being a hoax, or a political ploy. The sensible people are staying HOME or at least going out quietly to exercise or do essential things while being cautious.

There have always been idiots- when I was a child there were morons having 'hurricane parties' and 'oooh, look at those waves, let's surf'!

There are going to be so many Darwin awards this year I doubt they can keep up with them.

Your last line made me chuckle, and that is a gift these days, so thank you. Also, it's good to know that I'm not alone in feeling this way. I am 100% with you on the Orange Menace having empowered the ignorant to be self-destructively, willfully stupid (see: Hey, why not take this drug that doesn't work but might kill you? and "Here's a shot of Lysol. Drink up!"). I only wish their ignorance wasn't so often fatal to innocent people as well. *sighs*
