I thank you for your dedication.
Some will say "empty hospitals" = sham. I would hope they call it a sham, because an empty hospital was the entire goal of all this stay at home restriction.
My friend's uncle and aunt left for Peru in early Feb. Got on a return cruise in early March, ended up at sea 3+ weeks due to no ports allowing them to disembark. They finally got to Miami, and due to politics and FL being absolute ****wads they got stuck several days while in port.
Both of them got COVID-19 while waiting to get off the ship, his uncle died within 24 hours of getting off the ship. His aunt survived but this should have never happened.
COVID-19 isn't a joke, but as long as we can joke about empty ER beds and unused resources I'll continue to accept it, because the alternative is a lot more dead bodies and very sick people.
