COVID-19 just claimed my friend's brother
I was in line to early vote at the library. An idiot in front of me had just finished saying that this whole COVID thing was "just a hoax" to somebody in line when the “bong” sound went off on my phone. When I looked, this message came up:
"I am so sorry to report that my brother Steve passed away peacefully this morning around 9:00 a. m.
His wife Peggy and daughter Robin were with him at his bedside.
He just could not overcome the complications of the Covid 19 virus.
He will be cremated and no services are planned for now, but maybe a Celebration of Life next spring.
He was a special guy with many talents and we will miss him very much.
May he Rest In Peace."
I said “I just got this email” and read the first line from above — “I’m sorry to report…"
There was silence in the line of 20 or so people. After a few seconds, the idiot said, low and under his breath, “I’m still not wearin' a mask.”
His wife nudged him with her elbow, as if to say “Shut up.”
So here we go. Now I don't know about other states, but here in Texas the first thing they ask you to do is turn your phone off. Maybe they don't do that where this DUmmie is, or maybe they were still outside, or MAYBE the DUmmie wasn't following the rules.
DUmmie then shuts down '20 or so people' by simply reading the first line which says nothing of C-19, so I guess the '20 or so people' just all knew it was C-19?
Finally, why is it they have to use words like sheepishly, or gobsmacked, or in this case, "low and under his breath..."? Using words like that automatically make me not believe anything they've posted in the story. I don't know why, but it does.

shocking coincidence and timing....

Do they think sane people don't know they are lying?

I'm sure it's all President Trump's fault.
I've seen maskies but not this. Not sure what to call these. Deathies? :shrug:
I have been noticing that this is a consistent theme across the internet on all the comment platforms for news sites.
My <insert your relative here> just <insert died, was in a coma, on a respirator> and this is all due to <Trump, antimaskers, Trumpers, red staters> not following the DAMNED SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!! and locking the whole country down like Vietnam did... etc.
Way too many of these comments to not be a coordinated effort.

For those out there in the real world, I have a question.
There seems to be a lot of these confrontations over masks, but are they really as frequent as the primitives and the news media insist?
Around here, one wears a mask or one doesn't, the former being a minority against the overwhelming latter.
But no one comments about it; the unmasked don't squawk at the masked, and the masked most certainly leave the unmasked alone.

Walmart and Sam's club require masks when in the docks. Unfortunately, you really can't fight their policies. Chin diaper method is completely appropriate though
