I think "herd mentality" was a Freudian slip

It would explain a lot of things. If people believe they will not get the virus because they are somehow tougher than those lily livered liberals then wearing masks and social distancing are not necessary and the virus will just "go away, disappear". The cult believes this, that once the herd is sufficiently mentally immune, then poof, the virus will be gone.

It's quite easy to miss amongst years of caked up coke and the tangled inner cobwebs of his synthetic hair implants. It's that shriveled little angry thing rattling around in the corner, near the mouth controls.

We've seen this before, not here at this magnitude, but we have seen this sort of thing before and should guard against the danger it poses.
