Dear Dampy,
I wish that I was clever enough to have written this witty
little meme making it's way around Facebook...
"The
reason our country is having so many heat waves is because we have so
many thermometers! More than any other country! If we stopped looking at
thermometers now, we'd have very few days
over 80 degrees, if any."
And I fully expect to see a dramatic drop in covid-19
numbers now that hospitals must report them to the Dept. of Health and Human
Services (overseen by you) rather than the Center for Disease Control (a non-partisan
public health institute). I think
residents of Florida, Arizona, and Texas must be really relieved that you have
taken the reigns and have the power to cut their viral case loads in half with
just the swoosh of a pen or a few clicks of the keyboard! Huzzah!
Perhaps this whole virus hoax will even be OVER by November
3rd. Wouldn't it be great to have a success like that to brag about
just in time for the election. November
3rd is only 110 days away so you'd better get to work if you want to
reframe 137,419 American deaths as a "win" for Team Trump.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
