I went to a local locksmith shop where the owner was wearing a Trump MAGA hat. He had no mask and was in his mid-50s I told him I taught public health and this Fall was going to be very bad with many Covid19 infections I suggested he wear a mask for his protection, his family friends and his customers He said “ everybody should get the virus and the weak should die”.
I thought to myself, that is what the Nazis said.
Those weak people are my parents, his parents as well as friends and family with chronic underlying conditions, our most vulnerable. I suggested that with therapeutics and a vaccine a year off such a draconian approach did not make a lot of sense. He was silent
What does that say about our society? What does it say about Trump and his supporters?
You can come to your own conclusion
