Sad experience at the gas pump today.. [View all]

I was pumping gas at our neighborhood gas station. There was an unmasked man talking to an unmasked women about getting out of the house hoping that they soon could get the kids out of the house. Then their voices dropped and the woman said "You know this virus is going to suddenly disappear without our doing anything just like Trump said." The man replied Yeah, you know it. It's a shame that so many people believe this crap that they are selling us." She: "Don't worry, it will all be over after Jan. 20th."

As someone who has lost 5 family members to COVID including my husband, the love of my life after 50 years of a wonderful marriage, I started to say something to them. Then I thought, Why? Biden is President, the virus is raging, nothing I can say will change either. Watched them get into their respective autos and drive off. left me standing there with tears for the over 240K gone and their families that are left here to deal with the Trumpers walking among us.
