Natural Selection
Senators attending meetings after testing for the Virus, Trumps plan to abandon Social Distancing...
And now this: https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-woman-husband-died-chloroquine-warns-not-to-trust-trump-2020-3
So. To say that the Virus is Natural Selection is a bit harsh, but peoples reactions to it form an even better example of Natural Selection. How could we make this even better? Well, give all of Trumps supporters the medicine he prescribes. Chloroquine Phosphate. Make sure to wear your best sneakers, and Kool-Aid helps with the taste. Apparently aquarium grade is good enough, and a lot cheaper, so buy it at your local pet store.
I mean, clearly he's not wrong, take enough and you won't get the Virus. And it'll cure all the stupid in you too...
