On one hand, I feel sorry for the guy. On the other, "WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?! YOU GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING IDIOT!"

The fucking idiot covid deniers aren't just hurting themselves also everyone they come into contact with.

Did she vote for Trump?

And ignore any reasonable safety measures again because it was all a Democratic hoax.

The man told nurses, "I think I made a mistake."

How are you claiming this was a woman?

They have changed it.

Thoughts and prayers..

and innocents. The morons are thinning their own herd.

They have spent considerable time mocking and denying this disease since day one. Faux noise had its hands in spreading lies and disinformation. Trump and his ilk are responsible for this death and thousands more.

The billionaire donors and corporate titans bought and paid for their politicians and used their ad dollars to get the MSM to manipulate the masses. Billionaires such as Rupert Murdock have been spreading their propaganda to create this cult that the Republicans need to stay in office despite losing their white majority in this country. They have created a system of control that keeps them from paying taxes and keeping almost all of the created wealth. They are rarely, if ever audited or investigated, much less prosecuted.

We can attack the symptoms, or we can do something about the root causes of campaign finance and media propaganda. The Republican Party is merely their tool to accomplish what they want. TPTB can rely on the desire for money and power these politicians have to use them to do their bidding. Now they have created the monster that is Trump. You can bet that they will finish getting what they can before Trump goes down. Their judges will block most of what we do once in power.

I wish there was a way to bumper your entire post

works for me..

They created this atmosphere and this death of a young man that "made a mistake" is on them. I think it is sad. A life lost too young. I do not feel a glee or self righteous his death. I am sad that he learned after getting the virus that he made a mistake.

...that the knothead who threw the party has been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter.

It's hard to feel much sympathy for him.

was a young woman! I feel sorry for the parents!

Premise, test, results, conclusion (literally).

DU poster said, the Darwin award should be awarded to the stupidest CV death, this is got to be one of them). 30 years old and stupid enough to fall for this idiocy. Those putting others in harms' way (by having the party) should suffer some retribution, e.g., the parents of the 30 year should sue those who held the CV party.

Also, a teenager has died after attending a CV party at a church...the church denies it but I kinda of serious wonder and suspect that they are lying...
-snip-
Brunton Davis' statement noted that the teen was actively involved in Youth Church at First Assembly of God, a Fort Myers church that hosted the June 10 event. Davis' death has drawn national attention amid allegations that the church function was a so-called "COVID party," where partygoers compete to see who can catch the virus. First Assembly of God refuted that claim on Tuesday, saying the reports are "absolutely false and defamatory."

"Over the past 24 hours First Assembly of God of Fort Myers has been accused of hosting 'COVID-19 parties.' Nothing could be farther from the truth," the church said in a statement. "First Assembly of God of Fort Myers is following all of the health protections and protocols recommended by the state and local government with regard to holding its church services."

...... he has been responsible for more deaths of otherwise innocent people than any president.

These young people are all about social media. Why not post a video of a ventilator insertion on FaceBook, Twitter??? How a scope is shoved into mouths or tubes forced down throats??? Maybe a video of the wheezing and how it sounds when the lungs filling with fluid?? What would it take?

THAT probably has a better chance than anything else to get some otherwise reluctant people to wake up.

and Faux News are full of shit.

And that applies especially to political speech. Misinformation as a policy just can't be tolerated because it has consequences. In this case the consequence was fatal.

Reagan ended the Fairness Doctrine and something like that needs to be brought back. Also, the FCC has rules that apply to the airwaves. Their rules need to be expanded to include all of the modern methods of communications such as cable and social network/internet news services. Regulation is not the enemy of the people. Lack of proper regulation and rulings such as Citizens United are the enemy of the people because they are almost wholly responsible for the misinformation plague we face today.

Besides, you can't shout "fire" in a crowded theatre so there are obvious exceptions, plus it is criminal perjury in many settings already. Lastly, it is not the speech but the amplification of the speech that regulation addresses.

You may imagine it will be those who lie. However, that won't be the case.

what difference would any of this make if they refuse to listen to doctors and instead believe bizarre conspiracies.

While all politicians spin/deflect on issues, Trump just outright lies. That is what must stop but that may even take a Constitutional Amendment as the honor system has broken down. It won't be easy because McConnell has been in cahoots with Trump from the beginning. Then there is Rand Paul too...

... is not advertising.

While this guy does get the proverbial 'Darwin award,' we've got to beef up our education system so most Americans are a bit less gullible than this fellow. I say this because the three county commissioners in my county have waived the county health order to keep wearing masks - they voted to have the county attorney do a formal declaration that they have chosen not to abide by the guideline.

So there you have it - WAY too much ideology, not enough common sense.

Until now, it would have been unthinkable for many people to be dismissing a serious pandemic as a "hoax". But since the US president has spent years dismissing anything that shows him in a bad light as a "hoax", his dumber supporters decide they must believe him, and treat something deadly as literally a hoax. And so they risk their lives to "own the libs". This man was stupid, but he didn't deserve to be killed by trump. Or by a virus.

Put out on social media for fun, jumped on those eager to be outraged, and spread like a virus. Make that take is a hoax. Maybe it is hoaxes all the way down.

Edit: typo

but to make sure they understand that the virus can affect anyone."

What is wrong with scaring them? They need to be scared!

Some people really like to spread it around

What the young could accomplish if elders taught them rules for living.

prayers, you fucking wanker. Not sorry at all for willfully ignorant asswhipes.

from COVID-19 just shows me how critical thinking skill has been all but lost in the younger generation of trump voter. The proof of the lethality of this virus is right in front of their faces, yet, they go to parties maskless, beaches maskless, las vegas maskless, night clubs maskless, gyms maskless and all because of d. trump telling them COVID-19 was/is a "hoax". They have the choice to research, yet many don't. Why? Like lemmings they are following their leader's edict to run off the clifftop. And their fuhrer is nowhere near that cliff.

Don't get me wrong. I have lost count of how many times I have seen a loud- mouthed covid denier, or the old maskless white guy with the MAGA or Veteran's trucker hat on just daring someone to say something, or the mother of kids out breaking all the rules, and wished a horrible death on them for their meanness, ignorance, selfishness, you name it.

But every time I see one of these people realizing how stupid they've been, it really breaks my heart. How could it not?

Except for one person: Rand Paul. I hope he gets it again (and I think he lied about the first time).

AFAIK, this story is real. I am not trying to cast any doubt on it.

It sucks that we now are supposed to be extra-skeptical when it comes to consuming information.
