"Living in hope"
NERO fiddled while the fire spread through Rome.
Trump played golf while the virus spread through the States.
Nero is remembered by his failings and self interest and provides an example of how poor leadership can contribute to the ills of the people.
We live in a time of hope and hope for the time to enjoy it.
