'If I Die, I Die:' Kirk Cousins Says He's Not Concerned About Getting COVID-19

Cousins elaborated: “I want to respect what other people’s concerns are, but for me personally — if you’re just talking ‘no one else can get the virus, what is your concern if you get it’ — I would say that I’m going to go about my daily life if I get it. I’m going to ride it out. I’m going to let nature do its course. Survival of the fittest kind of an approach and just say, if it knocks me out, it knocks me out.”

What a fucking idiot. That is so damned stupid.

If only people could CHOOSE to just get it themselves. He's really saying he doesn't give a flying fuck about the lives of OTHER PEOPLE. Dishonest motherfucker. If he's that cavalier with his life, go do some cliff diving or something where only he takes the risk.

when he's running a fever of 104, the inside of his mouth feels like crepe paper soaked in carbolic acid and the air is made out of shattered razor blades.

Then, all sudden-like he's going to decide maybe he should seek medical attention after all - and put their lives at risk in service of his vain stupidity.

If he actually got a serious case and knew his life could end, he wouldn't be sanguine about it at all.

the extreme paranoia of the second event prevents the first, hopefully
