I wonder if losing soccer helped recalibrate European minds


They lost soccer mid-season. Then they all worked together to try and stop the spread. Here in the US, we lost the NBA and NHL, but football was fine. We just assumed it would magically work out in the summer and things would be better by the fall. Europe wanted to solve it immediately. We didn't try as hard.

You'd think the New York situation and schools closing would have been enough for people to take it seriously, but no.

As I'm typing it, it still comes back to Trump. He didn't take it seriously. So his base of tens of millions didn't take it seriously. If Trump takes it seriously, Kemp, DeSantis and co. aren't as big of idiots, and maybe this is better under control. I mean, there are clips of Hannity taking this seriously in March. It could have happened. But Trump failed us.
