The damage has already been done. I just spent a day socially distanced outside with a good friend yesterday. She will only go back to the old normal once there’s a vaccine. It doesn’t matter what I try to tell her about the numbers. She doesn’t believe me. She believes whatever Lester Holt has been saying.
She’s still pro-Trump, but she is firmly in the camp that only a vaccine, not even therapeutics, will bring relief. She will only trust a vaccine. I ask her what happens if they don’t find a vaccine? She says, oh, they will, it will be here before the winter gets here.
I can only shake my head. I’m through with trying to talk common sense anymore. People’s minds are made up.
Freak her out...ask her if she wants to contract Covid. When she says “no”, ask her “Don’t you know what a vaccine is”?
