Summary
Now that Scott Atlas' "Herd Mentality" policy has put a president in the hospital, will post-Covid Trump become more like Brasil's Bolsinaro or Britain's Boris in his attitude? Is Trump's hospital car ride sealed in with Secret Service agents emblematic of the fact he doesn't care about what happens to other people?
After all this will Americans finally get wise to Republican scams, and the fact their party don't give a damn about average people?- or will Trump get a chance to defund Social Security, kill the ACA, threaten Roe, further cut taxes on the rich, pollute the air, and leave us unprotected from Covid?
