Around this time last month, Jupiter rideshare driver Brian Hitchens was a self-proclaimed COVID-19 skeptic.

“I thought it was maybe the government trying something, and it was kind of like they threw it out there to kinda distract us,” said Hitchens.

He made Facebook posts downplaying the seriousness and sticking to his faith, saying God is bigger than this virus will ever be.

“I'd get up in the morning and pray and trust in God for his protection, and I’d just leave it at that. There were all these masks and gloves. I thought it looks like a hysteria,” Hitchens explained.

And Mrs.Dumbass is currently on a ventilator

1. He'll be lucky to survive looking at the width of him.

[gibraltar72]

2. No thoughts No prayers.

[PJMcK]

3. Hey, Hitchens!

You prayed to god to protect you against something that you said didn't exist.

Do you understand how those two thoughts conflict with one another?

I didn't think you did.

[lunatica]

15. Each thought evidently lives in it's very own universe

No connection is possible between universes.

[Jamastiene]

17. Yep. Where is your god now? n/t

10. eek.

fundamentalism. his wife is hanging on by a thread and may die, but he's already made his peace with it. blergh

[EllieBC]

18. Sounds like his wife is on ECMO?

From one of his posts about something where her blood is taken out and the CO2 remover before it being pumped back in?

That’s never a good sign.

[Kingofalldems]

5. Looks like his wife also has it.

[cayugafalls]

6. I don't wish this virus on anyone, but he was ignorant and is paying the price.

At least he will be a changed man from this point forward.

I hope his wife survives. There is no such thing as a good death from this virus.

[lunasun]

9. I hope his changed mind can help influence other dumbasses to wise up before it's too late

[czarjak]

27. Horse, barn.

7. What does Floriduh Man have in common with barstool jockeys in Wisconsin?

Find out in about 14 days.

[barbtries]

11. yep.

it's so discouraging. at this point i feel imprisoned by stupidity. it could have been a science driven, mass effort by everyone to mitigate but noooooo!
no knowledge or sense about the history of pandemics. no respect for science. slavish devotion to a demented narcissist who will NEVER give a flying fuck about them.

I'm not trying to go ANYWHERE.

[CaptYossarian]

13. I usually feel imprisoned in the hospital.

Someone's always in the room, people poking and jabbing, you can't sleep, and the TV choices are for comatose patients.

It's their turn to enjoy all of that. We're SAFER at home.

[barbtries]

14. definitely.

I am not going anywhere and am thankful to have a home to be in and the wherewithal to keep it through this pandemic. What I mean is it didn't have to be this way, months and months of self quarantining because there's not enough data to tell us it's safe to go outside. Asymptomatic carriers don't know they have it since they're not tested. Many who get sick with it may never be tested for it and it's not clear to me whether these people are included in the reported numbers. It's still not clear whether having it confers immunity to it. All of this data that could have and should have been being gathered all along is just missing, because fucking donald trump is so deluded that he thinks less testing means less cases.

sorry, asswipe (not you, trump!), the one thing you cannot change is the presence of 85,000 dead bodies. Most of us do not want to join that number.

[CaptYossarian]

38. And those are just the numbers they feel like reporting.

I trust their stats like I trust Dr. Trump's medical advice.

In the meantime, I can watch "The Omega Man", The Andromeda Strain", and "Last Man on Earth" to see how this turns out.

Stay well.

[barbtries]

39. you too

CaptYossarian!

I just evoked your namesake on twitter the other day.

42. The President is at war with America.

Treason much, Donnie?

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. We'll be reading a lot more stories of virus deniers like Brian Hitchens.

There will be plenty of free-dumb loving folks that will follow him.

[Skittles]

12. he and his wife will vote for Trump again

count on it

[thenelm1]

19. And what's really funny in a sick sorta way, and a complete break from reality....

Hello numbnuts, TRUMP IS THE GOVERNMENT!!!!! Along with that De Santis maroon you likely voted for!!! I wonder if that little bit of reality ricocheting around that empty noggin of yours has been intercepted by a functioning neuron yet. Sorry for your misfortune, but WAKE THE EFF UP. Geez Louise.

[GulfCoast66]

29. Sounds like his wife is taking an eternal trip where voting is not involved.

Mother fucker contributed to his wife’s likely death.

On a ventilator and trying to oxygenate her blood? That does not sound promising.

[Blue_true]

32. He looks really, really overweight. I would suspect that his wife is too, given

where they are located in Florida. My area has really heavy people, Jupiter is likely worse than my area.

When I looked at his picture and noticed his weight, I thought that he was lucky to survive so far.

The sad thing? Trump doesn't give a fuck about people like him, a rideshare driver. To Trump they don't exist, eventhough they perform valuable services. I have no idea why people like that vote for Republican's and support the ideology of that nuts party.

[GulfCoast66]

34. Your correct. She is heavy. Saw a photo of them.

And seeing that photo makes me feel sorry for them. They don’t look very sophisticated or educated. I know lots of people like them. People whose family, education and environment never allowed them to reach their full potential

I know, I know. But what can I say. I’m a proud bleeding heart liberal. They are the very people who would benefit from Democratic policies.

But they are convinced god does not want that.

So sad.

16. "There are three kinds of men: one learns by reading; a few who learn by observation; and

the rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves"

[panader0]

22. Is that your quote? Will Rogers? Who? Good stuff.

[struggle4progress]

25. Often attributed to Rogers, perhaps erroneously

[plimsoll]

31. I'm glad you said men.

6 year olds don't really grasp the concept behind the electric fence.

[Dukkha]

20. He's got Jupiter's gravity

[Blue_true]

33. Yes indeed. Food likely never escapes. nt

[BadGimp]

21. He actually seems quite thoughtful...

but his wife ... 90% plus of all folks who go on a ventilator do not survive

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. The only ones I feel sorry for are the ones having to take care of his stupid

fucking ass.

[Xolodno]

24. How many others did...

...he hurt with his stupid bravado?

[BigmanPigman]

28. That is THE point, isn't it?

These morons infect others who do try to follow the rules (to help everyone, not just protect themselves). These idiots are the real killers out there. Will they ever stop being so fucking irresponsible and selfish????!!!!!

I vote for sending people who can't be a responsible member of a thriving society to remote island where they can live in peace and away from those "nasty" rules and laws that don't apply to them.

[gordianot]

26. This is going to become a very familiar story repeated often.

When they die I hope they choose cremation relief for Funeral Homes and morticians.

[lunasun]

37. It already is becoming a repeated story

Another one from AC , but since she only has a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes
as symptoms she still doesn’t care
I guess these dumbasses have to be really sick to get a clue . Her stint with the cashier is

30. Sounds like his wife is slowly dying.

Too bad. But actions have consequences.

[Goodheart]

35. Why does Jesus make so many people stupid?

[clutterbox1830]

36. It only an issue when it affects themselves otherwise it is a hoax.

Dumbass indeed.

I'll give him some credit for warning other now though. Hopefully, it might change someone mind.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. Who knew a spike virus causes spike hair?

I hope this dude recovers and becomes a preacher of reality rather than fantasy.

Pity those who did ride sharing with him.......

[jmg257]

41. Apparently God allows free will or some such BS - you chose poorly.

Ah well.
