25. He's about to personal freedom himself out of a job

Isn't the (il)logical end of his position that we don't need any laws? That he himself is superfluous, because freedom? Who needs headlights on at night? I can see. Who needs speed limits? I'll drive the right speed for the prevailing conditions.

It's a temporary public health crisis. Not a permanent way of life, unless these idiots have their way.

Methinks the desperate attempts to minimize the virus are a coping mechanism for those who are deeply fearful of the virus. They want it to be the flu. It's not. (I've had it.)

They say 99.9% survive. They're wrong. Fatality rate is 1.7%.

They say well, they were old and sick, as though they will forever be 48 and at the tail end of their fading prime, and they'll never have heart disease or cancer or diabetes.

They do not know anyone who's had it, and they certainly don't know anyone who's died. It's still invisible and abstract to these constitutional scholars turned virologists turned electoral college experts. Like all GOP/Libertarian bent-until it affects them personally, the rest of us can suck it.
