I had to stop reading local news (and comments) from OK on the internet. Over 40, mentally disabled, mentally ill (this includes LGBTQ) those that are partially or fully disabled, minorities, minimum wage workers, children with special needs, pre-existing conditions, those who are obese or have addictions, those with chronic illness...the hillbillies believe God has answered their prayers for a purge.
It's disgusting and what is even worse, truthful or not, some identified as front line medical workers.
