Right-wing websites are weighing the pros and cons of letting people die from coronavirus to help the economy

It is better to say that it is a season rather than a single day.

Another part of the crazy is that they are saying “aggressively test, find out whose sick, isolate the sick, and let the healthy get back to work!” as if that wasn’t the plan all along. They just want to pretend that plan can actually be executed now. They’re basically describing what we would have done had we had a whole CDC, properly funded science and medicine, or taken steps to be prepared for any of this. Once again they’ve somehow commandeered language of sensibility in service of fascist fiction.

Another twist in this Federalist shitshow: they quoted a doctor in that article suggesting we might be better off letting people get infected to support their pseudoscientific argument. Turns out that doctor was 1) a dermatologist, not an epidemiologist, and 2) an unlicensed dermatologist.

Notice that only the unacceptable Progressives had plans for this. Guess reality isn’t incremental and pragmatic enough for moderate centrists.

Don’t punch Nazis.

You can break your hand, and they’ll just get up again.

Stabbing, now- safer, more effective, less likely to injure yourself. Also, stilettos and bodice daggers especially add a wonderful bit of flair to any outfit.

Blood-borne pathogens are a concern. Have you considered the classic beauty of the flat-sap, the Bosun’s Pal, and the sandbag?

Well, really, I should hope you’d be wearing gloves. One never can be too careful.

It really is a shame the classic baseball bat has become passé. That only it would come back into style soon…

It’s not a death panel if you march into the ovens as a voluntary sacrifice to Wall Street and the God-Emperor.

yeah that’s the fantasticalness of this savings account. 6%!!! Monthly!!! doubles even the smallest amount annually… feel free to vet it yourself. Feb 5th and March 5th they paid 6% each month in stable coins. Xfering out to my bank was flat fee (5 bucks i think).

Fingers crossed. It’s long overdue. And the way things are going, it’s almost inevitable.

Individual gravestones is pretty optimistic. If this doesn’t end in mass graves and a huge wall with names printed on it – probably on the Mexican border – I’ll be shocked. Likely from the great beyond, but still, shocked.

Cult of personality. He will tell everyone that they can stop sheltering in place and return to work for the good of the nation, and the people who listen to him will do it. And there are too fucking many people who listen to him.

Why, with government subsidies and handouts, of course.

Here, here. Everything you said.

Yes, but it’s spread out over time and over the country. Plus, despite King Cheeto’s best efforts to label this as a “China virus”, there’s nobody we can bomb to make it all feel better.
