Except for Trump, who has chosen to reignite nuclear tensions, seemingly bored with all his previous antics. A collective weariness fills the air, mixed with seasonal viruses circulating in this odd semi-summer atmosphere. Meanwhile, a dozen meteorologists compete daily on social media, predicting whims of the weather.
It's hard to tell if the exhaustion comes from your immune system trembling at another COVID-19 encounter, or from being asked whether you prefer Mitsotakis or chaos. But this feeling is shared widely.
