EXCERPT:
HEMINGWAY: “In 1957, there was some moderate reaction to it, as in, schools might close for a few days here or there, but you didn’t see this kind of nationwide panic inducement that you’re seeing with the coverage of this where they're almost, like, rooting for the virus to win over and against America. We have a tough virus. The whole world has a tough virus to deal with, but I don’t see enough in the media coverage about how much is going well and how capable we are to handle it. It seems they want to keep everything shut down, businesses, schools, churches, everything but mass protests and riots."
