They were trying to make some other stupid point about something related to how the police are he victim, or something ridiculous. Anyway, I started clicking around and noticed a lot of the law enforcement who have died were killed by covid. As I clicked through them it was one after another with covid. There were a lot of correctional officers listed too. Not a good sign for what's going on in the prison/jail systems. Real names of people makes it even more real if you haven't been exposed to it. It's not exploitative to send people who deny the seriousness of COVID to a site like that, right? I feel like it's irresponsible to not do whatever I can to try to get through their thick heads. Due of the nature of that specific site, I feel like that might have more of an impact on the type of people who refuse to accept the serious nature of it. Perhaps they will have a harder time just dismissing it as "liberal anti-trump propaganda". I dunno, I figured I'd share it in hopes that maybe it could be used to help folks here sway the covidiots in their life.
Here's the URL.

(1,568 posts)I'm going to bet a site like that is pretty accurate in its numbers. And since March it's like 53% of deaths are COVID. I don't get how people can still deny this is a problem. The politicians for sure have these numbers and know the reality of the situation. It's disgusting how some of them can still pretend it's nothing.
