Remember in The Simpsons when the town of Springfield was placed under a clear dome, because Homer dumped too much waste from his pet pig, causing an environmental disaster? Then Ralph blew bubbles at the dome, and exclaimed, “Take that!” Well, that is the effect Trump is having on the coronavirus. Trump is blowing bubbles at something far bigger than he is capable of understanding. Coronavirus is serious, impacting everyone on the planet. Even Tom Hanks, is impacted, who ironically, plays himself in The Simpsons storyline. Sending good energy to Tom and Rita. We have past the time for significant leadership, let’s at least demand significant action. Health is not a hoax.
