COVID Stupid

[Chew Toy McCoy]

Just found out my unvaccinated Trump supporting cousin just tested positive for covid.

I don’t know if this is going to contradict something I previously said, but I will just speak of this case. My cousin is a nice guy, kind of simple. We have never had any political discussions or have I sensed any telltale signs of his political leanings. The only reason I know he is a Trump supporter is because other family members have told me. Living in the Bay Area it would be easy to assume he is a Democrat. In conversations with my mom he has talked about feeling attacked or alienated by his wife’s family who are all Democrats. I don’t know if these are direct attacks or just anti-Trump discussions and comments being made in his presence. I don’t really know his circle of friends well. So I don’t know if he goes full Trump supporter in their presence.

In this case I’m more sad disappointed than “you idiot!”. I hope it’s not too severe and he pulls through.

Yeah, and at this point, it's probably the delta variant. Some of my co-workers had the earlier strains, some of whom had a really rough time. That's a tough position to be in.

I wonder what the mood and atmosphere is like at a funeral for an anti-vaxxer who died from covid, especially if they were quite vocal about their stance. Honestly depending on who it is I don’t know if I would be able to show up. Just the lingering denial in the air has to be overwhelming.

This is literally the fear stupid brings to us all.

The people charged with helping people are some of the people getting others sick?

The pandemic is now being prolonged by the non-vaccinated. How would you like to help shut down this pandemic that might take your job and end up with your eviction? Yes!

Wear a mask… HEELL NO, THAT’s TOO MUCH OF AN INCONVIENENCE! I don’t want to look like a communist, socialist mother fugg’n liberal!!! Rather die of COVID.

If your wish could only be my command, in some cases it is.

One of the people on my team in the bay area said his best friend refused to get the vaccine and has been hospitalized, he said he took a turn for the worse doesn't think he'll survive it. Healthy male in his 30s with no underlying conditions. It is sad for anyone and I don't want to hate on the sick, at the same time it's now fully avoidable. Completely agree, more frustrating than anything.

In Florida schools in this area, masks are "required", but you can opt out.

That word, I don't think it means what they think it means ...

Charlie Bullington owns Yo Transportation services, a business he started 16 years ago. Recently, he has made it a requirement that he will only transport passengers who aren’t wearing masks and have not gotten the vaccine.

“We don’t allow any type of masks in our vehicles, the second one is we are very against the vaccine and don’t allow people in our vehicle that did get the vaccine,” Bullington said.


Bullington said he verifies his passengers have not been vaccinated and won’t be wearing a mask before he even picks them up. One man took to Facebook saying he was denied a ride because of his vaccination status.
“I understand Missouri is one of the top three states with the lowest vaccination rate, so I am proud of all the Missouri people for standing against this,” Bullington said

Ummmm.......

If there was an honesty issue about people claiming their were vaccinated so they could ditch the masks, then how in the hell does he think he can trust them to be honest about NOT being vaccinated?

The level of stupidity is astonishing, until you become numb to it and decide most likely the human race is doomed, does not deserve to succeed. Unfortunately we’ll take many of the species of Earth down with us,

Secondly, I’ll apologize for my steady stream of doomsday messaging. It just seems appropriate.

As I said the species maybe doomed, and I hope he goes out of business, but I suspect as fares drop off, he’ll quietly change policy.

There is enough competition, I‘d tell him to get lost, I’ll find a sane transportation company.

Speaking of stupid, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Superspreader Event is underway in South Dakota, home of Kristi "I don't care how many of my constituents die" Noem. Maybe some of the bodies can be delivered to her front lawn for burial.

The truth is out there for anyone to see. The evidence is walking the streets every day. Those who refuse the vaccine are just being willfully stupid. Those who wish to wallow in their ignorance are giving this thing more opportunity to mutate into something worse. Again. I'm tired of hearing how it's their right to put my life in danger.

I wish everyone would get vaccinated, but that's not going to happen. As I said the other day, get the vaccine or hurry up and claim your Darwin Award. Then along comes Mr. Bullington and his death cab offering rides to the ceremonies!

My hat is off to you Mr. Bullington, you're my hero. Knock yourself out. Keep the windows up. Shake hands. Hug everyone. Exercise your freedom right up to the very end. You have my complete support. If you refuse to do one damn thing to protect me, don't look for sympathy from me. Good riddance. Take as many down with you as possible. I wouldn't be sad to hear this led to 1,500 new infections. I hope every passenger dies. Maybe that will convince a dipshit or two to get the vaccine.
