30 year old Texas man dies after going to “Covid party”.

Darwinism at its finest.

It's a little hard-hearted, isn't it, to blame someone who had clearly been widely misled by friends, media, and others about the risks of this disease?

Have you had a family member or friend die young from cancer or another disease? Do you consider their deaths Darwinism at work? Technically, it is, right?

Besides, he didn’t come up with the idea that Covid was a hoax by himself.

Another victim of note: Stephen Williams, long-term member of DC area Federal Court Of Appeals. Appointed by Reagan in 1986. He was 83.

His grandfather died in the flu pandemic of 1918.

Was almost attacked by a non-compliant (well, partially compliant) mask decliner today in the Quest waiting room. Three of us telling him to wear the mask vs. him. 65-75yo male. He made of move to come at me. I didn't reciprocate, but told him I would if needed. I suppose my 6'5 bald frame threw him off. I gave him the finger. Wouldn't listen to staff, either, but he was allowed to stay. He might've had a few good punches in him. The world is doomed.

“I wear a mask because I got out of the COVID ward three days ago and my doctors said I could be contagious for up to two weeks. And I don’t like wearing it either. But, hey, if you don’t think a mask is necessary, I’ll just take mine off.”
