Pandemic's Progress (American Style)

1.  Denial:  It's not real, it's not serious, it's not coming here.

2.  Anger:  Don't let those people land, it will make my numbers look bad.

3.   Bargaining:  Hydroxychloroquine.  Oleandrin.  UV light.

4.  Depression:  No more task force briefings.  It is what it is.

5.  Psychosis:  It will all go away like a miracle.

6.  Acceptance, Exhaustion, Boredom:  I'm tired of social distancing, wearing a mask, washing my hands.  Let's try for non-vaccine herd immunity:  Let everyone get infected and whoever survives will be immune (at least for a while).
