Does anyone else see the irony of people celebrating Memorial Day by spreading death and sickness?

Beaches assaulted, churches engulfed, parks invaded all because they are tired of being bored at home. If you are bored at home the problem isn’t that you are “quarantined”. Nor are state orders to “stay home, stay safe”, tyranny.

Those of you beach goers who bother to remember why Memorial Day is a thing might want to consider that thousands of soldiers died in combat or through sickness attendant to the conditions of war so you could act like an asshole.

The only thing American about you Covid deniers is that you can’t be forced out of the country.

I have always been surprised that so many people look at Memorial Day as a day to celebrate and eat BBQ. To me it's a somber remembrance of the true sacrifices made by countless men and women to protect our nation. My late Dad and my late Father in Law both were in the Navy in the South Pacific. They both came home. So many did not.

It has been nice to have the time to do some stuff. If you bored at home could be you are just to lazy to find stuff to do. Given that Trump supporter couldn't take the time to learn about what they voted for I guess being lazy along with willfully ignorant happen to be what they are. To bad none of them will ever read this.
