And they have convinced a sizable share of the population that Covid is just a hoax or a liberal plot or nothing worse than the flu., all of which is going to confound efforts to contain it until we have a vaccine or a treatment in place.

Sizable, yes, but probably under 20%. They will keep whacking away at it, trying to raise that percentage, but I’m betting it’s a losing battle. As restrictions are lifted, the virus will take advantage, and the 80% that believe in reality (at least as far as covid-19 is concerned), will be confirmed in that belief by the cases and deaths on the ground.

Not sure they will be able to villainize the individual health care workers, because they all know some, are family members of some. May even be supported by some. So that is an uphill climb, too.

The media will report all their thrashing around, of course, and Fox and OANN will make a hash of it. SNAFU.
