It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I'm gonna be really bummed if I can't safely celebrate Halloween. :(

One of those weird differences between the UK and the US. Here it is considered something for children and no one else. If you are out wearing a costume after about 13 years old then you are going to get bullied.
Funnily enough, cosplay occupies a weird middle ground. It is far more popular than Halloween, but again, wearing an outfit outside of the convention if you aren't a kid is just not done.

I stopped dressing up or trick or treating decades before most anybody else. I'm pretty sure most adults still dress up though, so yeah.

Yeah well you godless heathens call costume parties a "fancy dress party" and you hate flavor.

Our president is effectively on the virus's side.

Well because that of course will be so much less non-political of course. ;)
I got nothing to say here.
