A friend of mine had a double lung transplant a couple years ago. He's doing great but has to be very careful about what he does and what he's exposed to.

His wife posted this yesterday:

Friend posted:

For the ppl in the back & the protestors!

JUST IN CASE YOU NEED IT EXPLAINED ONE MORE TIME:

You wake up with a terrible cough, a fever, and severe body aches. Immediately, you rush to the doctor. Unfortunately, you’re diagnosed with COVID-19. For the last two weeks, you’ve been unaware that you were infected. For the last two weeks, you’ve ignored "the rules," gotten together with some close friends for pizza, had a few people over, even visited some parks and beaches. You figured, “I don’t feel sick," and "I have the right to keep living my normal life!"

With your diagnosis, you spend the next few days at home on the couch, feeling pretty crappy; but then you’re well again because you’re young, healthy and strong. Lucky you.

But your best friend caught it from you during a visit to your house, and because she didn't know she was contagious, she visited her 82-year-old grandfather, who uses oxygen tanks daily to help him breathe because he has COPD and heart failure.
Now, he’s dead.

Your co-worker, who has asthma, caught it too, during your little pizza get-together. Now, he’s in the ICU, and he's spread it to a few others in his family, too--but they won't know that for another couple of weeks yet.

The cashier at the restaurant where you picked up the pizza carried the infection home to his wife, who has MS, which makes her immuno-suppressed. She’s not as lucky as you, so she’s admitted to the hospital because she’s having trouble breathing. She may need to be placed in a medically-induced coma and intubated; she may not get to say goodbye to her loved ones. She may die surrounded by machines, with no family at her bedside.

All because you couldn't stand the inconvenience of a mask; of staying home; of changing your familiar routines for just a little while.

#SocialDistancing = It’s not about YOU.

Copied from a friend.
Feel free to do the same.

Seems like a fair enough statement to me.

This was one of the comments:

Some guy posted:


I understand your dilemma. However, I completely disagree. The issue here is NOT who I'm interacting with, the issue is who the guy at the end is. If him not coming in contact with an infected person will keep him alive, then he needs to limit his contact. If he lives like a hermit and doesn't have contact with anyone until this is resolved, the effect for him hadn't changed, regardless of what I do. So why punish me to make him feel safer?

I actually unfriended him years ago because he's one of the biggest assholes I've ever known. He's always sharing those far right, anger mongering memes on Facebook, always in an argument with somebody about something political, or race related (totally not racist but...). I'm baffled by some of the people who choose to be friends with this guy.

He still shows up in my news feed once in a while because we still share a couple of mutual friends, and it's always something like this.

Yes, I think he thought all those professional strippers (look at their photos) were being prudish about their own profession, and he was trying to edumacate them on its importance.

That's actually kinda smart, since the only people who would be fooled by it would be those assholes who hear stories of all the horrible poo poo ICE has done and merely think "well, they shouldn't have broken the law," and "it's actually good to have government officials randomly checking people's ID with no cause."

It's been years since Piers Morgan correctly pointed out that American gun control laws are loving insane so he was due to make a half-way decent point again so he said people protesting social distancing are dumb.

I look forward to him saying something half-way cognizant about the prison-industrial complex in another decade.

Piers seems to have developed a backbone recently. No idea what instigated it but he referred to PJW as a racist far-right loon who works for a 'journalism outlet' that claim Sandy Hook didn't happen, plus some crack about "if you don't like me I'm doing something right".

IIRC he made fun of Trump for the bleach thing and Trump unfollowed him, so he's either trying to rebrand or got a hit of that sweet sweet high that comes from someone getting mad at you on the internet

Much like Trump he has no real beliefs beyond vague conservatism and whatever he last read on twitter, but plays an exaggerated version of himself for TV ratings. He has the con-man's disdain for true believers like PJW even though he likely does more damage in the long run.

Gotta wonder who did this though, the original photo is dumb as poo poo anyway. Why fake something that’s been seen so many times it’ll just get called out straight away. Not impossible it’s the right wing trying to set a message that more legit pics are fake.

You would think the Bumfuckians would be well aware of the practical applications of having an anus.
