“Going on Week 2 of quarantine, our kids are desperate to see, touch, feel, smell their friends. Weirdly, Gen Z could come out of this with a permanent, lifelong, forged-in-disaster appreciation for physical connections over digital ones.” https://nyti.ms/2JrhP8k
You predicted 0 cases a few weeks ago and now you’re telling us we should be glad if only 200,000 Americans die. How did you get the most important thing you’ll ever do completely wrong?
