It's not often a plague comes equipped with an IQ test.........

Mr. Byrne, perhaps if the plague didn't require an IQ test, it wouldn't be a plague. If everyone  in the middle ages had a bit higher standard of hygiene, there might not have been a plague. It was spread by fleas on rats; if you clean up the trash properly and don't dump shit in the streets, you don't get so many rats...

The plagues in the Middle Ages were the Wrath of God!

To the extent I'm open to anything being the Wrath of God, present circumstances -- Trump, COVID, economic depression et al -- are about the mathematical least the United States could reasonably expect from a just God for the crime of invading Iraq alone.

I've been saying for some time now that altho I am a staunch atheist, I could just about convince myself to believe in the God of the Old Testament. Looking at the present state of the World, it seems exactly like something that rat bastard would cook up for us.

This the high school in Georgia where a student was suspended then reinstated for sending out photos of students not wearing face masks or social distancing themselves.

At this stage of the game, I stop blaming Trump for these super spreader rallies.

I blame the people who attend!

AND again, to quote from AIRPLANE:THE MOVIE

" Shana! They bought their tickets. They knew the risks! "

(Turns towards the camera) "I say, LET 'EM CRASH!"

I blame Trump AND the people that attend.

The people that attend are without a doubt fucking
idiots. 'It's my right', 'Jesus is my cure', belief and
acceptance that Trump has their best interest at heart,
this last despite a recording proving that he really
doesn't.

Fucking idiots.

but Trump, even thought there is a recording proving
that he 'thought' the virus was terrible, way worse than
flu, STILL, even after being outed, refuses to wear a
mask, encourages people to not wear masks and asks
reporters to take their masks off.

The people that attend are fucking idiots. Trump is a
fucking monster.

I’d call it the self-cleaning oven, again, but these idiots are likely to contract the disease but be blissfully ignorant until after they vote, then they’ll die. So it will be basically zombie votes that keep Trumpelstiltskin in office.

Indoor rallies are far worse than self cleaning ovens. The idiots who attend them and get sick may feel few if any symptoms, but they will carry the disease to other people who are vulnerable.

I've just read that in North Dakota, the hospitals are at 100% capacity, that COVID-positive health workers can now stay at work, but that there is still no mask mandate...

South Dakota, meanwhile, has a positivity rate in excess of 50%. And no mask mandate.

Incredible.

The sore loser is organizing a protest march on the 14th. I bet you around 85 to 90% of the morons who show up don't wear masks.
