"Board member Walt Kirby said he was giving up on the idea of controlling the spread of coronavirus.
“I personally do not care whether anybody wears a mask or not. If they want to be dumb enough to walk around and expose themselves and others, that’s fine with me,” Kirby said. “Nobody’s wearing the damned mask anyway. … I’m sitting back and watching them catch it and die. Hopefully I’ll live through it.”
Another member, Allen Banks, denied COVID-19 exists.
“Something’s making these people sick, and I’m pretty sure that it’s not coronavirus, so the question that you should be asking is, ‘What’s making them sick?’” he told the medical professionals who testified."
How many weeks are we from the collapse of the health care system?
Wisconsin is about to spike. Its deaths have been around 10 per day since Spring. The new cases are now 30% more than California, which is 5 times bigger. But its only been on the sharp rise for about 3 weeks, and deaths are climbing, now at 25 daily. Deaths will probably hit 100 per day in about 2 or 3 weeks. Also, Trump just hosted a massive rally in Wisconsin, and there are videos of people packed in without masks.
‘What’s making them sick?’
Riiiiiiiiiight. Who gave that guy his job?
I unironically respect the first dude way more than any other Covid denier. The majority of them hide behind faux-empathetic statements like “We need to think about the small business owners who need our business”, but this guy just straight up says “I don’t care, I’m taking my chances and watching my community die in the meantime.” It’s what every one of these Reopen The Country idiots actually believes, this guy just has the stones to say it out loud.
I wear a mask every day at work. So many customers don’t. Our governor said we’d go back to stage 4 if we started getting more cases. The news and current case count have determined that was a lie.
I’m either gonna get the rona or not. Honestly, at this point my personal conspiracy theory is that all of us “essential workers” are basically Typhoid Marys. We’ve been exposed to so many variants of the virus that we’re all carrying at least one strain. Add low grade illness to the daily stress of dealing with assholes who are even bigger assholes than normal lately, and it would help explain why all the retail workers I know are so burnt out lately. :party-parrot-mask:
