No Fooling, It Is a Pandemic

I didn't know this when I started to write about it but Google cancelled their usual April Fool's shenanigans secondary to the pandemic.  Suddenly fake news wasn't all that funny after all.
COVID-19 has brought to the forefront everything that is wrong with the current administration.  The first is promulgating the belief that the first pandemic in a century was orchestrated to foul up his reelection.  Seriously?  It reeks of the narcissism that pervades his public appearances.  The mistrust of expertise, to have to admit that there are people who know more than he, is unacceptable.  States that he perceives as against him get no federal aid.  It exemplifies his desire to be king, and worse yet, the Republican Senate are his handmaids in it all.  Meanwhile, the healthcare system is preparing and planning without federal coordination and without adequate supplies of masks and PPE.  It is criminal, but more likely than not no one will pay the price except those who needlessly die.  Happy April.
