(22,200 posts)Covid issues, vaccines, social distancing, masks, failure to recognize Science as an authority in such things, the making up of so called 'facts' to support idiotic claims surrounding Covid, etc.
I call it the Great Divide and it's splitting America finally into two sides, the vast majority are on the side of listening to the medical experts, not playing politics w/ their lives, etc. whereas the remaining minority that is still alive, are clinging to their belief that they won't catch Covid, that masks, social distancing, vaccines don't work, keep schools, businesses, etc. all open (don't need to shut down the Economy, heaven forbid! (of course a dead consumer won't do anybody any good, I guess that they didn't think of this)).
We already know who's winning the battle here...the death toll of the wingnuts/trump crowd/Covid deniers/anti-vaccine crowd is climbing on a daily basis, so at least one tiny positive is happening, that fewer and fewer idiots are surviving to vote against reasoned and rational thought that actually saves lives...
Deaths: 607,980 so far, with an 7 day rolling average of 414 deaths a day (in the USA). So in one month, over 12,000 idiots will die, and the unfortunate thing about this number is that how many of these deaths are totally innocent victims, that family members, friends, coworkers, etc. refused to take the vaccine, refused to mask up, refused to social distance, etc.? That's the saddest thing about this ... the unwilling victims.

(30,613 posts)Same happened in 1918, and no doubt in the dozens of plagues that occurred in the thousands of years prior to that. We would be an even dumber species if we didn't have plagues come around once in a while.
