Covid-19 Denialists


In case you haven't been on Twitter (wise choice), the new bullshit being pushed by MAGA Americans is that people aren't really dying from Covid-19.

See, they're dying from cancer.

Or from heart attacks.

And then the devious lying Democrats (all over the planet, apparently) are pretending that people died of the virus, because (obviously) they're all "deranged" and will do anything to keep Trump from being elected.

Can you imagine the ego of a man who thinks a global pandemic is being staged to take him down?

Can you imagine the massive willful ignorance of people who believe (pretend to believe, I suspect) this nonsense?

The fact that Trump still somehow has supporters is the saddest and most frustrating thing imaginable. Sure, he's a narcissistic, lying, dishonest, power-hungry, incompetent, crazy person -- but WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE SUPPORTERS? Ugh.

That is a mystery to me.

How can you look at what he's done and is doing and think, "Well, fine, but at least he hates trans people and immigrants and Muslims, so he's my man!"

What kind of shriveled potato of a soul would you have to have to think that way?

I maybe need to stop reading the news at all but how can anyone even think the reported numbers are correct??? There are literally millions of uncounted cases and thousands of uncounted deaths. Excess mortality alone is 2-10x normal across the globe! I don't understand how anyone can think this isn't happening.

(Then there my parents, an EMT and a PA, with coronavirus; my dad has been feverish for 13 days but he's going to the grocery himself tomorrow, not gonna ask a neighbor.... No, I'm not talking to them right now and yes, I yelled at them. Twice.)

This is what I keep telling people who bring me their denialist bullshit, but it does not make a dent. The MAGA cult.

I'm so sorry about your parents. I hope they get mild cases. (And OMG your dad!)

Thanks; they're not seriously ill at all. But they're gonna infect someone's granny.
