I hate him

[isetlights]

I knew he called it the Chinese Virus, but somehow seeing it in print and on my screen just drove it home. I think I can't get angry at the shit he does anymore and each day he proves me wrong.

I've never felt such hatred for another human being in my life

covid + Maga

I saw this tweet today and it rubbed me the wrong way

I talked to my parents (divorced) in the last 24 hours. Both think the virus is overhyped. Both were coughing while telling me this. Both are still going out as if it's no big deal.

Both are MAGAs and believe it's a hoax.

Donald Trump is killing my parents.

Feels like she's letting her parents off the hook for their own culpability in the spread of the virus

thats fair. Im just angry at his supporters all the time and this rubbed me the wrong way. I just get the vibe that this was the *last straw* for her.

I get what your'e saying. They're acting like their parents are innocent victims in this. I get that the media is powerful and Trump has a cult-like hold, but most people probably don't go from 0 to MAGA in an instant.

idk if anyone already saw, but apparently even reusable cloth masks lower your chances of catching or spreading a virus as long as you clean them properly. They're very easy to make, and also very cheap.

It's not as effective as an N95 (nothing is, which is why health workers need them more than anyone else), but it IS better than nothing and I generally encourage anyone who can make their own to do so and wear them when going out. Homemade masks have tested at 68-70%% efficacy when it comes to preventing spread of viruses. It IS better than nothing, especially when combined with proper handwashing and hygiene, regular surgical masks were also effectiveThe Thai government is even mass producing them now due to the shortage of other masks

Whoopi would waste health resources rme

I'm getting really scared. This is all so surreal. The uncertainty about the future just makes it so much worse.

Anyway if anyone wants to feel their blood boil at how ridiculous Trump is:
