Our Monday Morning Cartoon
Is Trump infectious? Do we know? We don’t, but he’s got 4 rallies scheduled for this week. You wouldn’t see me there.

Saw video of Florida Governor DeSantis this morning. cruising through a mob of unwashed Floridians at the Sanford Trump rally, he high-fived every raised palm in sight and then wiped his nose with the same hand. No mask, no Purell, no will to live.
I can’t help but to think of the soaring suicide rates in our country. That’s not just the pull-the-trigger suicide, but suicide by drugs, and suicide by cop. (there was one locally recently where the man told his wife he was going to let someone else pull the trigger before he confronted a SWAT team with a rifle.
Suicide by Covid is more subtle though. In general the perpetrator tries to take as many people with him as possible: Trump and his rallies, for instance and of course Trumpers compete in climbing on the sacrificial altar. How many people will get sick from this rally, how many will pass a dose of Corona on to their families and friends and other strangers.
Trump couldn’t wait. We really don’t know, seeing the kind of test he took, if he’s either immune or no longer contagious. His current Rent-a-doc is covering up for him, but people will die from yesterday’s rally. Old, young, rich, poor. People of all races and religions and ethnicities. The only thing they have in common is Trumpism and the desire for salvation through suicide.
