We’re a part of the ecosystem of this planet.  Of course there would be thinning of the herd.  What makes our species so special?  And Trump is just the Pied Piper who marched his supporters to the front of the line.  There’s no doubt who will be gone first.  The virus infiltrated the White House.  If you’re believing in the buffoon sitting at the resolution desk, you’re within thinning distance of becoming a statistic. Covid doesn’t care who it infects.  Easy targets are like an all-you-can eat buffet.

There’s nothing we can do about it because they will never change their mind.  We have to concentrate on our own survival.

being secular helps me to understand the stubbornness of a believer or follower.

Scale everything down to the essentials.  You can pack more stuff into the extra time.
