A family member...40ish, female. School teacher (in a religious school). Posted this on FB.
Why are we shutting down the world to save the lives of the people who are going to die within 5 Years anyway?! Why are we ruining the lives of the rest of the country who are now unemployed and not allowed to work and losing all of their financial stability to slow the curve of something that's inevitably going to happen anyway?! Come on y'all...survival of the fittest! THIS IS STUPID!!!
She had also previously posted that she was planning to take her four kids to all the attractions in her city because it is all a hoax.
And some wonder why we cut ourselves off from right wing relatives. This is why.
The positive aspect of this is that the post was deleted after about an hour of all of her friends (right wingers as well) told her that it isn't OK to think like this.
So, there's another relative who I won't be able manage much more than "cold politeness" with.

Bettie
(16,124 posts)apparently, even her most religious friends came out and told her she was wrong.
One even posted "that which you do to the least among us, you do to me"...I think that was the last straw and she deleted.
I think she honestly figured that most people felt that way.
Then, she found out that they don't.

(16,124 posts)who these people are. Eventually, they will want to start pretending that they are decent people again.
I will not forget what they have shown themselves to be at their core.
