about what happens to the aggressive anti-mask/vaxxers. I do feel sorry for the people who are affected by their illness and death, though; especially their kids. But if they don't care about their own children, or are so determined to believe random information they find on the internet vs. getting a free, safe and effective vaccine, it's pretty hard to muster up much sympathy for them.

Let's not care about each other. Now there is an idea.

There was a story about a physician who had to stay in New Orleans hospital full of Covid patients that could not be evacuated. He moved his family out but returned.

(144,941 posts)5. UGA professor resigns mid-class after student refuses to wear mask
Link to tweet
A University of Georgia retiree-rehire professor resigned on Tuesday after one of his students refused to properly wear a mask in an upper division psychology seminar class held at the psychology building.
During Irwin Bernsteins second class of the semester, the student, who was not present on the first day of class, arrived at the 25-person class unmasked and was asked by Bernstein to retrieve one from the advising office. The student was given a spare disposable mask from a peer but did not wear it over her nose.
Bernstein asked the student to pull her mask up to wear it correctly, but she said she couldnt breathe and had a really hard time breathing with the cloth over her mouth and nose.
Written on the board at the front of the classroom was, No mask, no class, according to fourth-year psychology major Hannah Huff.
The 88-year-old psychology professor explained to the student that he could die from COVID-19 due to underlying health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and age-related problems, Bernstein said in an email to The Red & Black.
