(5,124 posts)last night. Sooner or later, this will hit home to almost all of us in some way. Its only a matter of time. Just as Larry's death has hit the NBC and MSNBC family hard.
The hard thing about it, one of the reporters mentioned is that we've lost a friend and we can't be together to console each other.
Just another way this virus is wreaking havoc. When a loved one dies, people come together, give hugs, hold hands comfort each other.

And IMPOTUS blew it. Because he has no compassion. No empathy. He is a malignant narcissist and cares only about himself and his widdle feelings.
