I thought COVID-19 anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers were a unique phenomenon of American stupidity, but having just returned from a two-week trip to England, I fear that the reckless response to a virus that has killed almost 5 million people worldwide is not an American thing — it’s a human thing.
Many of us who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and who have committed to the discomfort of wearing masks in indoor public places, have spent the better part of a year fuming at the estimated 93 million Americans who are eligible to receive the vaccine but refuse it — and the people who ignore mask requirements and walk through indoor public spaces with their mask hanging off one ear.
I figured this callous disregard for the safety of others had its genesis in the wave of anti-science paranoia that was stoked by our 45th president, but I witnessed the same wanton negligence an ocean away.

He died and at the same time happened to test positive for Covid which in itself is meaningless.

I never accept advice, let alone criticism, from a mentally deranged fool who still hasn’t even figured out the proper use of his own genitals.

Many of us
intellectually, morally, racially and (did I mention) intellectually superiors who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and who have committed to the discomfort of wearing masks in indoor public places,....

Not everyone is a convert to the cult of Covidism.
Drives the zealots crazy.
Their problem, not mine.

Sorry that by definition is a death by COVID. He died from COVID.

I am almost convinced that it is not one virus but a variety of related viruses.
Sort of like there are any number of cold viruses.
And they are all being released at different times and places.

Died WITH Covid.
I doubt that is what killed him between his age and health history.
