Things we have to accept:

1. The GOP is going to encourage people to go out in the midst of an uncontrolled pandemic.
2. Testing will not increase to the level needed and tracing will be a secondary thought.
3. Infections will skyrocket.

So here is what must happen....

...
2. Those with non-essential jobs have to lock down completely. Stay 20 ft away from everyone, because these morons may well intentionally get in your face.
3. Accept we cant save the world. Accept that your deranged friends/family will get sick. Some may die. By choice.../2

...
4. I dont know what to do for grocery store workers. They and health care workers will be at the most danger. Crowd-sourcing ideas in comments?
5. There will likely be increased triage requirements in hospitals. A method to find out who infected themselves intentionally.../3

...has to be found. The "i care about no one but me" crowd cannot be allowed to take up scarce medical resources - and expose hospital workers to unnecessary dangers - because of their reliance on Fox instead of experts.

Acceptance is the first step. Nothing will stop them.../4

...not as long as they worship the moron-in-chief, whose delusions and magical thinking are going to kill people. There is nothing we can do. They will not be persuaded by expertise, logic, anything. They are a cult, and reason does not work with cults.

Last: Be ready for.../5

...for Trump to try & cancel elections. Yes, it will be dangerous to fight back or to vote. This may be our "Greatest Generation" moment. When it comes to the election, some of us may die to try and save this country for our kids.

Vote. No matter what. End the insanity.
