I think I started to get a sense of how much of an ordeal the pandemic was going to be because we have incoherent and incompetent federal leadership. What made you intuit this was going to be a long, long ordeal? Back then, before much of the country was closed, most of us didn’t know just how bad this epidemic was going to get. Los Angeles, CaliforniaĬhronicles of Now: It’s now June, and I happen to know that you wrote that story back in early March.
