re: #117 Anymouse 🌹🏡

Trumpists like Brit Hume are going on about how the NY death toll is conflating and inflating deaths by attributing anything and everything to covid19. The US now has over 1250 Benghazis worth of deaths thanks to covid19. Since Benghazi is the only thing the GOP seems to give a shit about when not trying to strip away women’s right to abortion or redistribute wealth to rich from everyone else via tax cuts, or denying people their right to vote, it makes sense to frame the death toll in a context they care about.

I know that’s a bit flip and insensitive to those who are actually dying from this, but it’s killing people all across the globe and especially here in the US where we’re seeing people of all ages and health statuses dying of this. Influential artists, doctors, and servicemembers are dead. EMTs, transit workers, janitors, and retirees. Nursing home residents and leading members of the community.

It doesn’t give a crap about your politics, only that it spreads easily and states that are trying to self-isolate are going to have a better time of it the sooner they do so than those that aren’t. I keep seeing how FL and GA are in a race to see which one will have the most idiotic take out of this, and while FL is leading, GA is closing the gap.

No word on when FL is closing its border to GA residents, because there’s all kinds of evidence that there’s a hotspot along the border. DeSantis is more concerned about NYers flying in than the GA or AL resident coughing and hacking up a lung as he drives along the back roads to and from his friends over the border.
