So the virus has finally reached our shores with the first case of unknown origin in California and the possibility of several more cases out there thanks to the insistence of the administration in bringing people from the affected zones without proper quarantine procedures in place or even the appropriate equipment.
The president* yesterday called for a press conference where it seems he was hoping to and I quote “try to the kill the virus with pure incoherence,” and naming Vice President Mike Pence who when he was governor managed to enable an HIV outbreak, and until as recent as 2000 was still writing articles denying a link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer.
That makes me feel secure. But then again, we are witnessing the apotheosis of 40 years of conservative philosophy with regards to government, which for one led to the dismantling of the CDC pandemic response teams.
I pray that this doesn’t get worse.

"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."
