I absolutely CANNOT stop laughing at this dumbass b-word. 

I got invited to 2 places today for Thanksgiving...declined both. 

She was just at a superspreader rally with Perdue AND Mike Pence. She’ll probably be fine but her sugar daddy husband is a senior citizen... probably not ideal.

Well I hope Trump and his cronies give themselves COVID as a parting holiday gift.  May they suffer long and hard.

Time to fire up the ol’ covid tracker.

Washington Post:

Wyoming’s governor has resisted calls for a mask mandate. Now he has the coronavirus.

Earlier this month, with coronavirus cases rising dramatically across Wyoming, a coalition of medical experts and nearly every county health officer in the state wrote to Republican Gov. Mark Gordon with an urgent demand: to issue a statewide mask mandate.

Gordon declined. While he has stressed the importance of wearing masks, he has also argued that it’s an individual choice to do so.

“It is incredibly important that we take personal responsibility for our actions and understand how those actions can implicate others,” Gordon said last month.

Now Gordon, 63, has tested positive for the virus, his office announced Wednesday.

I absolutely still can't believe that people are this stupid.  Honestly, it's blowing my mind.

The country which willingly rationed itself of gasoline, rubber, and hundreds of other substances, to fight wars on two other continents, is unwilling to close down in-person bars and restaurants for a year, to save maybe half a million American lives.

Same country, but different, stupider people who seem overly susceptible to misinformation in social media, outlets such as FOX, OANN, Newsmax and the like.  The people who cheered for  “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” don't exist anymore.  They have been replaced by self-centered, selfish assholes who only care about their own "personal" freedoms and who feign supporting original constitutional intent, while not being willing to "promote the general Welfare" with their actions.

This is the kind of event that should lead to a cultural change in wearing masks. In the future if you are sick at all and need to be out, wear a mask.

Way back in the spring when the mask topic first came up, I recalled that almost all news I'd seen from China for years had shown lots of people wearing lots of masks, and I thought it made sense with a population that large. 

Great idea.

Hell, by my scientific analysis (aka 5 mins in a Lowe’s bathroom over the wknd) most ppl still don’t wash their stank ass hands after doing their business....

Lol, 5 mins.  Had to handle my own “business”, and wash my hands after.

We can slam Republicans all day and rightfully so.  But you also don't have to look far on social media to see groups of kids in college that are gathering and not wearing masks and not obeying rules.  There are a lot of self centered selfish assholes everywhere and I'd argue that teenagers to people in their mid 20s who think rules don't apply to them are just as culpable here.

A few years ago when visiting a casino I saw about a dozen Asian women (middle-aged and above) all wearing masks...inwardly I just thought "They're still wearing a mask like 10 years after the SARS scare." Little did I know they were wayyyyyyy ahead of the curve.

I can see how you would take my statement as referring to just Republicans, but that was not the intent.  My last line stated that the people that used to put others and country ahead are gone and

Than includes the younger people you describe, as necessarily the older generation has been replaced by younger people.  So my comment is not in dispute with your assessment.

Yes and no (IMO).  Our brains aren’t fully developed until long after teenage-hood (for men, I believe it’s around age 26), and this group often takes risks* that most adults know are foolhardy.  So “just as culpable” doesn’t quite fit for me.  I agree this group is a major, major part of the problem though.  
 

 

* whether these risks are simply a built in part of the learning process, a facet of ‘survival of the fittest’, a product of peer pressure/attention seeking, or just due to the aforementioned undeveloped brain... I have no idea.
