I’m a retired registered nurse. My interests are liberal politics, hiking, reading, and my family. Looking to find comfort in the dystopian Trump world we have entered into for the second time.

While Trump crows about his great COVID record, remember this, from the COVID Crisis Group (a bipartisan collection of scientists and public health experts), in a study published last year.
