Red but not totally into that Trump's America thing: Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, where coronavirus skepticism gets tamped down a bit

Her Facebook Friends Asked if Anyone Was Actually Sick. She Had an Answer.  (The New York Times, 3/19/2020)

In the haze of days that followed, Ms. Frilot, a 43-year-old oil-and-gas analyst, occupied one world, the rest of her community in Kenner, La., another. She saw her friends making jokes on social media about the coronavirus — eye-roll emojis, Fox News talking points, Rush Limbaugh quotes writing off the threat. And then one person asked if anyone really had this thing. 

Ms. Frilot had an answer to that. 

“I have been seeing a lot of posts about people taking this virus lightly and joking about it,” she began in a Facebook post. “Mark has tested positive for the coronavirus.”
