When I was a little kid, I can remember thinking that when something was a scary I could protect myself by just closing my eyes; that somehow if I could no longer see whatever it was that terrified me that would make it go away.
I grew out of that.
I grew out of that.
Unfortunately, millions of Americans are treating a deadly virus that has killed nearly 100,000 people here in three months, the same way.
They honestly seem to believe that they can defeat it by pretending it doesn't exist, that they will not be sick or make others sick if they merely choose not to acknowledge reality. That's really their mindset: that the monster will leave if they refuse to look at it.
I wish they would grow up and open their eyes.
I wish this president would.
I wish his party would.
They're not chasing away the monster by choosing not to see it: they're helping it, they're partnering with it—they're becoming it.
