      Sometimes I will stare out my window and think to myself “I wish I wish I wish there was no Coronavirus.” Then I will go outside, put on a mask & stay away from others so I don’t get sick or infect others. But the fantasy was nice for those few minutes. 2/

      But the delusion is catching. Mr “I’m won the election” has helped invent another reality. One where the hospitals are full only to make money. One where if you’re not dead it’s not real. 10/

      I’ve had governors staffs repeat to me over and over for 5 months that they aren’t ready to take action because “they have plenty of room in the ICU.” Because you should definitely wait until your ICUs are full before acting on an exponentially growing virus. 11/

          I’m talking both Democratic and Republican governors: “I’m shutting down the bars at 10 pm.” “OK. In a week you will close the bars entirely.” Not because the governors don’t get it. They do (except for 2). But they are scared. Scared of two things.... 12/

          1- They are legitimately scared to hurt businesses. You know what? I get that. I understand it. It makes sense. Mitch McConnell & Trump put them in a box by not supporting the restaurants. It sucks. Still, you do it. Because death. See you can’t really build back from there.12/

          There’s a “what if I’m wrong?” principle. If you get it a little wrong & people die, well, probably not. If people lose their businesses or money, it’s terrible. But with our help people can recover. As @ConnieSchultz says “you can’t undie people.” 13/

          2- The second reason is the delusion chorus. The delusion chorus has an entire party of state legislators who don’t wear masks. They have all the qualities in petiole that make them worth completely ignoring on a serious subject. 14/

          But governors are politicians. And that means they want to be liked. So here is what I have to say: Who cares if you’re liked??? No one cares if you’re liked if you’re killing people. Be unliked. Be the least popular politician in history for the next 3 months. 15/

          And eventually they do. They come around to what their health team has been telling them. But putting a mask on & closing a bar are a bit like wearing a condom. Do it before it’s too late. Not doing it “just once” is enough. 16/

          Sadly even people who are focused on this & trying to do the right thing find it hard to be 100% vigilant. So if the governor says it’s ok to keep a restaurant open, some might be inclined to say “what’s the harm?” 17/

          Then if they survive, like Rand Paul, they’re proud of it & tell people to get it. Despite the fact that they then spread it. So let’s set the record straight with these funny little things I like to call facts. 22/

          Fact: COVID is deadly & sadly it doesn’t take a lot to get it. Fact: a doctor or nurse ALSO has to pay the price for people who behave badly. Fact: Each of us can be part of preventing people from getting COVID. Fact: COVID will be controlled but not in any magical way. 24/
