What the hell is the point of all this? 
My
DU-Speak Decoder Ring says that
Ex Lurker is worried his "Trumper" BIL will survive, even if the "Trumper" BIL is a fictional character in a

-tale.
Ex Lurker's wife seems to be less unkind than
Ex Lurker, since she brought food for her brother (something my son did for my wife when she had Covid and I was in the hospital with Covid). That he is at home and not in the hospital means his case is not severe, and that she brought over food means he is self-isolating, contrary to
DU-stereotypes of a Covid-denying "Trumper". ASSuming the

-tale is not entirely fictional, of course.
