Rolling COVID-19 Notably Infected and/or Fallen Thread

what is already as good as dead cannot sue you for defamation!

He's over 100 so he's been made public domain. Feel free to add your own Tom's Burmese Days fic.

sorry if I'm getting a bit carried away here, but Capt Tom getting the Rona is just the feelgood boost the UK needed right now!

He's since died of it.

Seriously reckless to fly a 100 year old to the Bahamas with the vaccine so close.

Like there was surely a conversation that went "this might kill him..."

Was he really still using his military rank through 7.5 decades of civilian life? Shades of Are You Being Served's Captain Peacock if so.

(xp) "... yes, but think of the publicity."

xp in america if you ever coach football, people are forever required by law to address you as Coach

Andrew yang per gothamist

Seriously reckless to fly a 100 year old to the Bahamas with the vaccine so close. out of a raging plague island during a pandemic at all

Ethan Hawke too, from a radio story last Sunday.

House Rep Ron Wright (TX-6) who posted this tweet 3 days ago:

Democrats are choosing teachers unions and special interests over the well-being of our students.

The CDC says schools can safely re-open if proper precautions are taken.

...has died of COVID.

aw his last tweet was to wish a happy birthday to ronald reagan, rip

tweet aged well

i could be confusing him with someone else but isn't he one of those guys who thinks women should be prosecuted for having abortions

yes

Reproaction, an abortion rights advocacy group, published a video May 30 asking Wright what he thought of women going to jail for self-managed abortions.

“Of course they should,” Wright says after saying he considers that by having an abortion “they committed murder.”

Asked if women should be punished in general for getting an abortion, Wright says, “Absolutely.”

i could be confusing him with someone else but isn't he one of those guys who thinks women should be prosecuted for having abortions

― superdeep borehole (harbl)

given what we've seen, i assume that all GOP reps would support prosecuting women for abortions, when it comes down to it

it really is a party of complete creeps and out-of-date morons who haven't updated their priors since the reagan revolution

yes i should have clarified, he was willing to actually say it

clarifications that make you feel an internal "oof"

but yes, that's right

:(

thoughts and prayers for his family

at least he'll be keeping 6 feet away from others

I see what you did there.

Laura Groves (hopefully on the mend)

Been struggling a little with post-covid symptoms, especially the effect it's had on my voice. Breathing and voice have always been things I've felt in control of and am very spiritually connected to - it's so interconnected with who I am - so it's a hard feeling to navigate.

Don’t recall if I ever told you my story about him, well my friend’s story really

I'm all ears...

Former Italy rugby captain and Scotland scrum coach Massimo Cuttitta. Only 54

Ted Nugent (not dead)

https://www.thedailybeast.com/ted-nugent-catches-coronavirus-after-year-of-telling-us-the-pandemic-is-all-fake

(not yet)

I presume he must be faking it.

Ironic to be killed by this after he lived through cat scratch fever.

Ted Nugent, living out the plot of Crank ("I got the Chinese shit.")

Pretty sure at this point the Nuge got the American shit, which is very much on brand.

just what the doctor ordered

If the Rona took John Prine but the Nuge recovers, I’m gonna flip a table

As he's reporting it, it sounds like he's past the worst of it, sadly. But, of fucking course, just like clockwork, these douchebags get sick and still deny it:

“I’ve never been so sick in all my life,” Nugent said. He went on to suggest there is no point in being tested for COVID-19 and downplayed the need for social distancing, mask wearing and being vaccinated against the virus.

If you really needed the point underscored, COVID has demonstrated that there's no justice in this fallen world of ours.

I'm just sick and tired of these science denying pieces of shit doubling down even after getting sick as hell from it. It's infuriating, dangerous and a significant contribution to why 25% of adults in this fucking country are refusing to get vaccinated.

Lmao perfect

jfc this paragraph:
