As I peck away, 204,057 have died from the coronavirus. For the sake of simplicity, we round it off to 200,000 because 4,057 looks like an insignificant rounding error. A rounding error? Let that sink in. 2,996 people died at the World Trade Center. The coronavirus rounding error is more than all of the people who died at the WTC. Yet, many Americans seem to be unaffected or unmoved. They scoff at CDC guidelines, and Trump mask-shames reporters. They are oblivious to the scope of the personal destruction all around them because it hasn’t affected them, or, at least, not yet. This is what real herd immunity looks like. Trump’s herd is immune to the devastation caused by this virus. Those of us who are not immune suffer as a consequence while Trump lies with absolute immunity
