Official live update of spread of COVID19

Wow. Other's stupidity doesn't mean those who see it need to lack compassion. 

If you had been a character on MASH you would have been Frank, or Col Flag.

My best friend from Oklahoma's dad voted for Trump, but got the vaccine. But his mother and sister also refuse. While he would say, "It is their own fault" and I agree it would be their fault, it doesn't mean I wish death on them. Just like he'd say to me about my smoking, "That can kill you" he'd be right, but he wouldn't wish me death. 

I blame the politicians and right wing conspiracy nuts convincing them. I blame Trump and Fox Noise for why they buy that shit.

Yeah, don’t care. My compassion is reserved for those people who, through no fault of their own, have a rough go of it. I have no compassion for fuckwits who think they have a right to risk the health and safety of other people.

Blame whoever you like, but it’s ultimately your cabbie’s fault that she got sick.

Having blanket solutions to a complex species in such a ham fisted manor is not a solution.

If America took the same attitude it did after WW2 that it did after WW1 Germany would have simply been as bad off after WW1.

I get blaming the right people. But blame the right people. There is a huge difference between gullibility, ignorance, and evil. The people most responsible for those in mask/vaccine denial, are the powers exploiting them.  Otherwise when we defeated Japan and Germany, we should have murdered all the citizens. 

Just like one can place sole blame on Jim Jones for conning 900 people to their deaths. Many of them tried to escape when they realized they were being conned and held hostage. The rest of them died because Jones's minions either shot them or forced them to drink the poison. 

What Trump sold was evil. But I am not going to condemn everyone who votes republican. I condemn that party's leaders for being cult leaders. 

My cab driver is not a bad person. She has an honest job, she has a family and she loves talking about her pets. And she always asks me about my cat and how he is doing. She loves me as a customer because I make her laugh. Between her and another cab driver they have a saying every time they pick me up, "Adventure's with Brian", because they love me as a customer. 

As far as my biological family, I have little to no contact with them because they are really really far right. But even with them, I don't want them dead. This pandemic affects the entire world so it isn't just about their politics or religion. 

If any of them die from COVID yes, one could say, "They learned the hard way", sure. But wishing someone death is a bridge to far for me. My Cab driver isn't Hitler or Stalin, she simply got conned and made a bad decision.
