My Jandek Plague Journal: 4/6/20 "Comedy"

"Here’s looking at you kid/You got the German measles/It’s a comedy." Busan announced its 120th case of coronavirus today. This is not a validation of my anxieties of people becoming complacent--the new case was a foreign visitor. This isn't evidence of a resurgence, it's just the disease traveling as normal. And if lives weren't on the line there could be some delicious schadenfreude of all the so-called developing countries having to bar entry to the dirty, diseased, and untrustworthy white nations. Too backwards to recognize that when people are sick, you help them get better. You don't ask how they'll pay. One thing that is risible is the angry laments of evangelicals over churches being closed. One tweeted that the anti-Christian left is laughing at the empty pews on Palm Sunday. They're the ones who voted for the administration that caused this. Apparently all it took for Christianity to die was to let Christians have their way.
