Its frightening to know there are not one but two viruses infecting Americans. One, of course, is COVID-19 and the other is known today as the Trump virus.

This strain, the outbreak of which is relatively new to the United States has been documented previously under different names in Germany, Italy, and Spain in the 1930s, Russia in the 1950s, Iran in the 1970s, Iraq in the 1980s, North Korea and other lesser known countries in this century.

The COVID virus affects the respiratory system in a deadly way but the Trump flu affects the brain. The first one could be eradicated by a vaccine. The second one will be more difficult to cure.

In the United States scientific research has pinpointed the first signs of this new flu to Election Day, 2008. People with underlying conditions, such as racism and xenophobia contracted it first. Highly contagious, it spread rapidly among the populous. The talking heads were super-spreaders.

Unlike COVID-19, the Trump flu doesnt incapacitate people physically but it causes a declining mental state, a tendency to deny reality, and a strong desire to congregate with other infected people to spread their illness across the country, with innocent-sounding names like The Tea Party, Proud Boys, American Freedom Party, and the like. There are even many infected people in Congress.

A roadmap to a cure begins with the simple act of voting. Let those of us who havent been infected fight this flu with vigilance.
