250,000 infected
At 1% mortality, that’s 2,500 DEAD

For perspective, that’s half of 9/11. So far.
…all because a bunch of idiots wanted to ride their motorcycles, for some deranged sense of “freedom.” These are the same people who bitched about helmets in the 70s, and of course, they overwhelmingly support Trump.
Don’t give a shit about lives? Okay, motherfucker, let’s take a look at cost.
Estimated health cost to taxpayers is $12 billion. That is enough to buy 400,000 brand new 2020 Harley Davidson motorcycles – almost one for every attendee, or. for that matter, everyone who is probably going to end up dying of Covid-19 if we keep the orange ostrich with his head in the ground.

Stand Crow


It will be remembered as the Mother of All Superspreader Events, right at the exact wrong time as the flu season starts to kick in… something out of an apocalyptic Stephen King novel.
And think of all the pitstops, gas stations, Waffle Houses, Trump rallies, meth deals, whorehouses, bars, and/or jails the half a million spreaders visited on the way back home.
If this was colonial North America, these were all Smallpox ridden blankets.
If this was the Great Fire of 1871 in Chicago, they would all be cows (allegedly) kicking over lanterns.
If this was the AIDS crisis, they would all be that handsome mustachioed French Canadian flight attendant.
The only difference this time? It was all avoidable.
And now add in back to school (also avoidable) and cold weather, which will probably push us past 400k dead.
Where we go from there will entirely depend on who is President.
You have a choice, America.
Fight, and live, or give up, and let our elders and weak die.
This is a stark choice between good and evil.
Vote.
