COVID-19 in America

The utter fucking stupidity of making vaccination and other preventative measures part of the ‘Culture War’ is beyond belief. Some of these cunts (promoters and gobshites, not gullible followers) actually deserve to die for playing that game.

OK, so I can understand the Trumpist Republicans thinking that letting the disease rip through urban areas and blue states would be a win for them on some level. But it's the bit afterwards that I'm having trouble understanding - if they're smart enough to get themselves jabbed, how then could they not predict that the situation would end up reversing itself as urban areas and blue states get all masked and jabbed up? Are they so confident in their moves to disenfranchise voters that they think it will be enough to make up for their base dying?

Surely they must realise on some level that viruses don't give a fuck about political alignment? Or are they so wrapped up in their culture war bullshit that they couldn't see this coming? It honestly makes no goddamn sense to me.

I seem to recall some of them celebrating the fact that it had a higher mortality rate among certain minority groups, although I’m not sure if that was ever proven in the end, with things like poorer access to healthcare needing to be factored in.

yes, but i think there's more: using southern patois has come to be seen as "real" as opposed to "elitist/liberal/northeastern/educated". i've heard born-and-bred new yorkers using it, and it sticks in my craw.

otoh the CDC is located in atlanta so maybe they're just talkin'.

Anti-mask New York Post requires all of its employees to wear masks in latest sign of Murdoch media hypocrisy

The New York Post, the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid that has peddled a high volume of anti-mask rhetoric during the pandemic, informed employees this month that they are required to wear a mask while at the office, according to a memo obtained by CNN Business.

You can’t be an efficient anti-masker media outlet if you’re sick with the Covid, now, can you?

He was truly tragic. His selfishness has left a pregnant, unemployed wife with three kids and likely crippling medical bills.

Hope his lies and agitation have not caused many more deaths or ruined lives.

In America we don't need universal healthcare, we have Go Fund Me appeals. :facepalm:

Three young kids and one on the way. I can't get my head round what he was thinking. I didn't post the link to gloat or sneer at him. I just think it's terribly sad all round.
 
It's sad & tragic for his family.

But, he's gone out of his way to promote false information, that could result in many others losing their lives, so fuck him.

I don't wish covid on anyone, but frankly the more of these loons that get taken out by covid, the safer the world becomes for the rest of us.
 
It's a sad story - unlike a lot of the anti-mask types, Wallace seems to have been a genuinely good and community-minded person - he organised aid shipments to hurricane victims in 2017 and when the cold snap and power cut hit earlier this year, him and the local mayor set aside their differences to help vulnerable residents. His wife says they disagreed on masks but still got along fine.

He just got fatally sucked in by all the politicized shit American conservatives are spreading around COVID, and no doubt ended up spreading plenty of shit himself, hopefully his death will change a few minds but people in Texas etc. seem so entrenched that they'll probably blame his death on insufficient quantities of horse dewormer.

At first, Caleb refused to get tested for COVID-19, or go to the hospital.

"He was so hard-headed," Jessica said. "He didn't want to see a doctor, because he didn't want to be part of the statistics with COVID tests."

Caleb instead began taking tablets of ivermectin

‘He loved his family’: Caleb Wallace dies after battle with COVID-19, pregnant wife says

Caleb Wallace of San Angelo died Saturday after battling COVID for weeks. His wife, Jessica, is due soon with their fourth child and has started a GoFundMe for the family.

I know the USA is rather large but I think the BBC mangled their reporting:

The daily average for hospital admissions has risen past 100,000 for the first time since last winter.

I'm not all that experienced with US hospital data but I dont think that number makes sense. Total number of covid patients in hospital, or admissions per week rather than per day, could plausibly be at that sort of level, but not new admissions per day.

Quote is from:

Link should come with a warning, it leads to a video with Rand gags Paul in it. A cunt's cunt.

Yeah they head up the page with a video of that, I think they are using it as an example of someone being a cunt rather than some sort of advert for them though :D

Also what is it with the Trump style pursed up farting-arse shaped lip movement thing when speaking? Do they have workshops to train them in this speaking technique or something?
