Just spoke to a coworker (via IM) and all was fine until he made comments blaming the Chinese government for the virus. When I mentioned the administrations fault, he started with the “depends on how you look at it routine”. I simply replied that most other developed countries have done much better and there have been 170,000 deaths.
Crickets…
And this is a smart man, who has been sucked into the RW propaganda. Sigh.
