Ragitsu reacted to archer in Coronavirus
Well, if there was any evidence that the administration was "aggressively protecting the vulnerable" then maybe that would be a real strategy, even if I disagreed with it.
But the administration has put out a mandate that nursing homes have to test, without giving them money or testing kits. They haven't provided PPE sufficient for nursing homes or VA hospitals, much less more broadly.
The "vulnerable" in the US includes those who have heart conditions, asthma, other lung problems, diabetes, and who are old...according to the government.
I have asthma, a heart condition, diabetes, and am old. The government knows all of that because it is my healthcare insurance provider and I take medicine for all of that and it's on my medical information from my doctor which he has to send to them.
The government hasn't done a damned thing to try to protect me. Or even checked in on me to see if I'm protecting myself.
Zip, nada, nothing.
The "vulnerable" in the US (who have heart conditions, asthma, other lung problems, diabetes, and who are old) are more than 100 million people (roughly a third of the population). To protect that number of people, there would have to be a massive governmental effort of some sort...and there isn't one.

I have a personal rule against ever rooting for death or disease. This news is really putting that conviction to a test.

Ragitsu reacted to Lord Liaden in Political Discussion Thread (With Rules)
I feel like I should be a better human being, and care about that. But at this point I just can't.

I want better candidates to vote for. Same as I did in 2016.
