‘It can’t happen here,’ Down Under edition
Clever tweets tend to morph in content and meaning over time. I don’t know where this one originated, and I’ve edited it to taste as people will do with such things, but I’m sure you’ll get where it’s going: “It’s just 15 days to flatten the curve.

Fast food order melts a cynical heart
