The ones singing are lining up to be a hot lunch
People celebrating not having to wear masks on airplanes are done with Covid. But Covid’s not done with them, at least not here in the Tar Heel State: NC sees 50% increase in COVID cases compared to last week.
If that headline doesn’t grab ya, how about this one? Even mild COVID-19 can cause your brain to shrink:
Patients hospitalised with COVID-19 are almost three times more likely than those not hospitalised to have impaired cognition. But brain scans now show that even a mild case of COVID-19 can shrink part of the brain, causing physical changes equivalent to a decade of ageing.
But freedom, huh? Or how about this?
Saltzman tweets:
After my son developed long covid, I signed him and my daughter (who also had covid) up for an NIH study on pediatric covid outcomes. Through this study we discovered that they both have a potentially serious abnormality in their heartbeats
Specifically, they have a prolonged QT interval, which means the heart isn’t recharging properly from one heartbeat to the next. This can cause serious arrhythmias and even sudden cardiac arrest. People can literally just drop dead from this.
She links to JAMA and Lancet reports. Her kids could be damaged for life. Doctors don’t know.
I can’t explain how distressing it is to see people jubilantly ripping their masks off on planes after everything Covid has put my family through. The complete lack of regard for vulnerable members of our community is downright sociopathic.
Sociopathy got elected president in 2016.
Rex Huppke cites an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll that shows “56% of those surveyed favor requiring people on planes, trains and public transportation to wear masks, compared with 24% opposed and 20% who say they are neither in favor nor opposed.”
Not only is Huppke not pitching his masks, he’s offering helpful tips for avoiding maskless sociopaths:
1) If an unmasked traveler is about to take the seat next to you, greet your new seatmate like this: “Hi, my name is Rex Huppke. I see we’ll be seated next to each other on today’s flight and you’ve decided not to wear a face mask. I’m looking forward to spending the next two hours talking to you loudly about my testicle-tanning regimen! I heard about it from Tucker Carlson, and I have to say, my testosterone levels have never been higher. Buckle up!”
2) If the first item doesn’t work for you because you have scruples or don’t have testicles, tanned or otherwise, try a different but equally effective greeting: “Hey, great to see you. Sit down and strap in, because I’ve got some things to tell you about cryptocurrency! Are you familiar with ethereum? A lot of folks are still stuck on bitcoin, but I believe in The Flippening and think it’s just a matter of time before bitcoin maximalists get rekt, you know what I mean? I always tell people, ‘Do your own research,’ but for the next few hours, I AM ALL YOURS!”
3) Right before an unmasked passenger sits down, pull out a large binder clearly marked: “ANTIFA SUPER-SOLDIER’S GUIDE TO IN-FLIGHT SOCIALIST INDOCTRINATION.”
There’s more, but for that do your own research.
