I was indifferent about her until I heard about her attitude to the pandemic. To boot, "there is always something every election year" made her sound like a stereotypical American who can't quite grasp that other countries are actual places filled with real people. Europe isn't on varying levels of lockdown because of the US elections.

Unfortunately, she's not alone. There's a significant number of people who think the COVID-19 pandemic is greatly exaggerated for Reasons, and being a rich person enables her to feel safe and untouchable.

When we heard the first of Covid-19 I honestly thought the US was massively overreacting to what sounded like a normal flu that didn't affect most of the population. This was even before Italy started reporting their own numbers, and it was still mostly a China thing. So the panic-buying and the talk of shutting down everything seemed like a lot of hyperbole. Plus I remember the panic over the swine flu and how that basically fizzled out.

I was wrong. Luckily I'm a Californian and so I was already being isolated when the numbers from Europe started coming in and we got a better look at this nightmare.

I guess what I'm saying is, it wasn't unreasonable at first to think the reaction was overblown, but by now? You have to be a complete fucking moron to ignore how bad it's gotten.
