This post is written for Friday Fictioneers.
They had been quarantined for so long they had ceased to remember it. It started out slow with the leader of their nation promising that it would magically go away once the warm season began. It didn’t. A night out on the town with a fine meal at a fancy restaurant was a distant memory. The mere fact of wearing a mask was now a polarizing political statement. Are you red or are you blue? The deaths began to rise at an alarming rate. The elderly clogged the emergency rooms. The young thought they were immune. They weren’t.
Oh Danny Boy! 
By executive order the virus is a hoax and wearing any form of mask is terrorism. — I made that up, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Well done.

And so it goes. The States might come out of it come November if the orange clown gets sent back home…

Hopefully he will be sent packing and arrested just outside the White House. After the last election I have little confidence in polls.

It’s still pretty bad over here too, but nothing like what we are shown from the US. I’m really not sure what people need to see to take the threat of the pandemic seriously…

It doesn’t help when our evil orange puppet of a leader thinks it will just “puff” go away and refuses to wear a face mask himself.
