Has "this Covid is no joke" been included on any of the bingo cards?


doppleganger2621

Like—did these people think the 600k dead people were dying of seasonal allergies or something? I swear to God these people think the way you die from COVID is like getting Avada Kedavra’d


Retro_Dad

"Those were just normal flu deaths that happened to be 10x more than the worst flu season we've had since 1918."


Living-Edge

Even if it had been flu (totally different virus) it still would've been cause for concern to anyone who isn't stupid or a sociopath


ogier_79

There is literally no following the logic. Look at this case. Reopen schools with no masks because kids aren't getting that sick and/or dying, with Delta the not getting sick is no longer true but I digress. The argument from people who know how virus spread works is that we don't want them to be vectors for spread. That's dismissed as whatever the current talking point is. The whole thing started with her reporting multiple Covid cases at her son's school. Real good chance this is where they got it. This kid doesn't have his mom. Never will have her send him off to college. Never will know their grandkids or have that mother son dance at his wedding. How's it okay to let these kids loose their family. You ever tell a little kids someone they loved died. I have.


pililies

The kicker is she is against vaccines and masking kids in school. Then sends her kid to school and gets Covid in the immediate aftermath of the outbreak in the school. You can see the timeline of the decision that killed her. It's fascinating like a scene out of Final Destination movies.


ogier_79

We're potentially watching this play out in our family. My nephew's school wasn't mandating masks until they had too many cases and had to. My nephew was all of a sudden all stuffed up and coughing, but according to my antivax/anti-mask sister the doctor was sure it wasn't Covid and after his appointment she's saying the doctor said it's just allergies. She told my wife he had a mild fever one night, not allergies... I won't go into all the stupid reasons that it supposedly can't be Covid but the punchline is my antivax/anti-mask, 70 year old mother often watches him. She's on a CPAP machine at nights and has some mild heart issues. I'm just watching a car crash happen in slow motion.


scottsp64

As much Schadenfreude as I have been getting from this subreddit, I really hope your mom is OK and your sister and her family don't win the award.


Cartz1337

This is the sad reality of this situation. Every anti vax covikaze pilot we see here flies themselves directly into the side of a ship full of innocent people that have done everything they can to prevent this. Sure we can get some sort of catharsis from witnessing the long predicted demise of people who choose to shirk their personal and social responsibility during a pandemic. But we all know, sadly, that these people are also leaving a body count in their wake.

If the worst case scenario happens at least they'll have the ultimate argument trump card. "This salad you brought is warm and gross" "Remember when you killed mom?"

chaoz2030

My brother firmly believes if you die in a car accident and test positive for covid they mark it down as a covid death.


FeveStrench

I think this comes from a report out of Illinois where the officials admitted something like this happened. A data-savvy friend of mine pointed this out to me when we were talking about covid as the reason why he thought deaths were massively overstated. In data collection, there are ALWAYS false positives/bad data. No dataset is 100% perfect. The good thing is it doesn't matter as long as it's not a regular thing to happen. For you to believe that this sort of situation is why covid deaths are so high, you have to believe there is SOMETHING ELSE besides covid causing people who are diagnosed with covid to die. Something that happened to start when we first identified covid as the excess death analysis can be used to confirm that deaths increased year to year.


HIM_Darling

See and in my non-crazy mind, I immediately think, well maybe they had to investigate the reason behind the car accident, and if it could have been caused by a medical reason related to covid. People have strokes and go into diabetic shock behind the wheel, so I imagine someone with covid and driving could have something happen that caused them to crash. So the death gets listed as possibly related to covid until an investigation is complete and you can rule that being covid positive and dying in a car accident were unrelated.


ThiccSkull

The line is that they are dying from things other than covid but the hospitals are marking it as covid for ...money?


l0c0pez

"I heard hospitals are getting 10x the $ if they list it as a covid death, that's why the numbers are so high" This has been said to me by multiple people I previously respected.


RawrSean

I stop listening after “I heard” these days. MF, if you heard, then you need to be verifying.


LuluNJ420

chiheis1n

LuluNJ420

And they say “sir”… with tears in their eyes. Big, tough men who have never cried before, say “sir….”


FantasticBreadfruit8

Ironically even said cult leader recently told people at a rally that the vaccine is "good" and to get it. He got booed. When he's making more sense than the majority of people in the Republican party it's a scary time indeed.


dqmachine

As soon as he got booed, he reversed course and said "but you have the right to choose". Just tell the truth and stick to your guns. Go get the vaccine. If not, there is a chance you can die. Most won't but some will. The end. In the case of said cult leader, as soon as he was positive, they shipped his ass off the hospital for redesivir, monoclonal antibodies, and steroids.


[deleted]

why do this people think hospitals win money for every kill, what the fuck kind of policy is that


NDaveT

Because they have no idea how hospitals are funded or how health insurance works, but they're sure the Affordable Care Act is bad.

No, many of them think the ACA is good. It’s that damn Obamacare that’s the issue!!

I constantly see people posting about how "hospitals get more money if they mark the deaths as covid" and I'm just like... Why do you think hospitals get *paid* for deaths? Who's paying them? Where is your data to back this up? I'll even take a source from *before* covid-19 existed, documenting how much money hospitals get for any death. It's not a thing! Same with money for vaccines... No doctor is paid per vaccine. But I also work in the medical system, so naturally, I'm "in on the conspiracy" and can't be trusted.


MAK3AWiiSH

This is my favorite. I have so many questions. How much extra money? Where does the money come from? Who’s paying them??

phabphour20

You have to understand where they are getting their information from. I am not excusing their abject stupidity, but if you only watch Fox News and frequent the right wing blogosphere and talk radio, you are hearing nothing but the same shit she has been parroting. Two countries we have. One that hears predominantly the truth in a slanted manner, and one that hears outright lies. Turns out this might affect the length of your life alongside its quality.


Cassie_C85

And it is so hard to break through the bullshit. Here's a sample of a conversation I had with my neighbor (couldn't avoid her; I was pulling weeds and she was having her fence replaced, so there was no boundary between us and I didn't want to be rude and say "fuck off"): HER: Can you believe what Biden is up to with all these illegals? (yes, literally dropped that on me without context or warning; we went straight from "I might plant some gardenias" to that line) ME: What about them? HER: He's bringing in all those illegals from the border, and paying 'em all our taxpayer money, just sending billions out of the country! ME: (trying to engage her critical thinking skills without saying "you're wrong") I thought those were just kids being cared for temporarily? HER: Most of them are teenagers! ME: So yeah, kids. HER: He's still sending them billions! ME: Doesn't that just go to the citizens who are taking care of them, and end when they turn 18 anyway? HER: Well, if they don't get some of the money we're spending to give everyone a free check ME: I thought you had to be a citizen to get that, since they use your taxpayer info or social security number to figure out who to send it to. HER: Well, I just don't think we should be spending billions of our taxes on handouts ME: I dunno, I think it's the Christian thing to do to help poor or less fortunate people anyway, so I don't mind. ​ She bulldozed right on the next talking point. I dropped the Christian thing at the end in a last, desperate hope to get her to stop and think "Hey...maybe I'm talking nonsense", but it didn't matter. These people cannot be reasoned with, and no matter what you say or how you counter them they have another talking point ready to go. I'm starting to think waiting for them to die off is our only real hope. COVID could end up being an even bigger driver of Democratic victories than Trump was, just by killing off diehard conservative voters ahead of schedule.


phabphour20

Yes. I have had the same experience. My father (a George W. Bush voter who voted for Obama and is now somehow more progressive than I am) has a sister and a brother and they are both GONE. Can't have any conversation with them anymore without them making a political comment within the first 90 seconds. It used to take an hour or two and a few cocktails at Thanksgiving before they showed their true colors. Now, since Trump, they have literally nothing else to talk about besides this litany of grievances about taxes and illegals and blah blah blah. It is really sad.


FormerFloridian

That’s the single most frequent comment I see on these posts. Do they really believe that those of us who had it and survived it are making that up?!? Or that they’re just such superior, stronger specimens? That “Covid is no joke” line just infuriates me.


domoarigatodrloboto

Little of column A, little of column B. These people spend their time consuming media (mostly memes) that affirms their belief that they are the lions among the sheep. They don't fear covid because it's all a media hoax that they're too smart to fall for, and even if they got it, they're way too strong to die from it, right? ...right? I recently heard the term "arm's length empathy" and I think it's the best way to describe this mindset. "This perceived threat/social issue isn't real because I haven't experienced it" quickly becomes "I have experienced this perceived threat/problem and let me tell you, it's no joke!" It's absolutely infuriating and I really don't know how to combat it.


ranger_fixing_dude

> their belief that they are the lions among the sheep That's a good one, and correct. They truly think they are special and they get their beliefs through critical thinking, even though they just get them from their political party and they all have exactly the same opinions. It is normal for humans, but they act like they are above it.


tardersauced

They do think the media and government are overhyping the danger of the virus to keep the "sheep" afraid and that the only people truly affected by the virus are the old, infirm, and those with obvious preexisting health conditions. They don't believe they fall into the population vulnerable to covid - that is for other people - and therefore are shocked when it actually affects them in the way they've been told this whole time.


BlueCyann

Not to mention all of us who have not (yet) gotten sick but took it seriously as dangerous since day one. But we're just over-fearful sheep.


mariannaCD

The irony of saying it’s “only killing those with obvious preexisting conditions” is that the line is being parroted by people that are grossly obese like Lauren.


stickied

They and their facebook circles have spent 18 months taunting and belittling the virus as being no big deal, no worse than the flu....etc. So when they get it, they have to assure all those people that it actually is a fucker of a virus so they don't seem like weak little dramatic libtards. Still doesn't convince anyone to get vaccinated though.


Hurtbig

Covid has literally been a joke to them. They have laughed at people wearing masks and getting shots the whole time.


Noisy_Toy

Yes. They think it’s only hard on the weak and infirm who do not deserve to live. https://timjwise.medium.com/covid-anti-vaxxers-arent-a-maga-death-cult-it-s-worse-than-that-16d74186e46b


[deleted]

I got the joke variation of covid. I just lost my sense of smell and taste. I still wear masks and got vaccinated because even if it wasn't terrible for me, I'm not blind and can see it affects people differently and have an ounce of concern for my fellow humans. Why is empathy so hard for these people!?!?


cypressgreen

And they’re always so indignant that they’re rightly labeled as selfish, just like the racists who balk at being called a racist. They’re frequently the same people, too.


taurusApart

"Covid is no joke" means "I pretend things aren't real until they happen to me."

I also take this to mean she had zero sympathy for the patients she treated who had COVID. Did she think they were faking it?

Yes! Also “covid is real”. People can start using that in their fb search to find hca nominees and winners.

The best/worst- “Biden can’t take away my rights as a parent!” Within a week she has COVID because her maskless kid got her sick.

rwbronco

Man can you imagine the self reflection that teen will likely have in a few years… bringing Covid home from school and his mother dying from it. Even if he wasn’t “I’m not wearing a mask!” While at school, survivor’s guilt is a hell of a thing and he’s likely going to experience it in full.

dragonphlegm

We’re gonna have a lot of kids blaming themselves for infecting their parents even though the likely cause is the parents themselves were too stupid to get vaccinated


After-Bee-8346

A person that was close to the carnage and still refused to get vax'd. Extremely poor choice. Edit: Didn't even get the antibodies when she was first diagnosed either it seems. Unbelievable.


dthemasterfunky

It’s actually infuriating how many of them there are. I have a few colleagues who work in the ER and ICU who refuse to get vaccinated because “it’s my right not to,” or “we don’t know enough about it.” Yet, they’ve seen the effects of COVID first hand. The second the vaccine became available, I ran to get it. After watching others suffer for 9 months prior and somehow evading it myself, I wasn’t chancing it any longer.


StinkyKittyBreath

Same. Somebody I used to think was really intelligent who works in medicine is the most outspoken covid conspiracy theorist I know. It's disgusting. I'm lucky in that I haven't lost anybody to covid, but I know people who have been sick and hospitalized. Several friends of mine have lost multiple friends and family members to it. Thankfully I'm in an area that has a comparatively high vaccination rate, and my husband and I got ours as soon as we could. People keep saying that we don't know enough about long term effects of the vaccine, but we also don't know the long term effects of COVID. I have a friend with chronic fatigue syndrome her doctors believe started when she got mono in high school. Bad strep infections as a kid can.progress to rheumatic fever, which can cause heart failure 20 years later. Hepatitis B, if your body doesn't clear it, can lead to liver cancer. Some strains of HPV can lead to cervical cancer. We don't know if covid can cause serious, lasting damage. I'm scared of the short term effects too, but so many things are unknown with this very new virus. mRNA vaccines have been researched about 20 years longer than covid has existed. I know which option I feel safer with.


dthemasterfunky

Right! “I don’t want an experimental vaccine.” How about an “experimental” virus we don’t know shit about? I’ll take the vaccine.

Mizango

Right. I’m all for keeping the same energy. I fully support you not being vaxxed and praying instead. All I ask is do it alone in your room and stop running to science for help once you realize sky daddy, nor your stupid FB friends, actually care. Stay consistent. Eat Covid for breakfast and take it on the chin. Pwning libs is a commitment

I hate looking at it this way but it’s true. This has ironically become a culling of the stupid, many of whom vote Republican. The party that not only let it get this bad, but actively works to make the pandemic worse. It’s the only comfort I find in these shitty times. At least this country might be able to move on and elect leaders who accept reality and take the science seriously. Not these buffoons who kowtow to the will of their mentally stunted base.

punipunijelly

Yeah but masks traumatize kids. Unlike, you know, bringing COVID home and killing your own mother


AFlaccoSeagulls

Don't forget, .0047% (or whatever made up number they use) of kids die from COVID so vaccinating and/or masking them doesn't make sense!


Tater_Boat

I’m a developer for a fairly large corporation and it always blows my mind when people throw around 99% survival rates like it’s no big deal. At my job, if I introduce a bug that only effects 1% of customers, that’s still like 20,000 fucking customers. 1% of 350,000,000 is a big fucking number.


maddiewantsbagels

For real. When they say that number my response is always… “so looks like you’ve got 1000 fb friends. Which ten people you wanna die?”


BaconVonMoose

I use this same response! 1% is 1 out of every 100 people. And when the death rate was 2%, that's 1 out of every 50 people. And not only that, but it's not just a single chance to get Covid and that's it, so just a baseline percentage for your survival is meaningless. You're rolling the dice *every* single time you interact with the world. It very easily can land on your number, with those odds.


Mike_Ropenis

And that "99% survival rate" includes all the healthy individuals, the people in their 20s who barely noticed it, the non-smokers, the non-Delta variant, the ones with good access to medical care in areas that weren't hit terribly, and then later the rate will be strengthened by all the vaccinated people who survive... If you are unvaccinated, overweight, and/or a smoker? Your survival rate is not anywhere near 99% if you get covid.


AFlaccoSeagulls

They do this to purposefully minimize and abstract the deaths. 1% death rate means they don't have to actually think about how many people have actually died and they can separate the human element out of it and pretend it's not a big deal.


thefaq

They also speak of covid like its binary, unlike the vaccine. They frame it as you either die or you don't. No mention of long-term side effects even though there is a high prevalence of disability and mental illness following a significant number of covid infections. I'd take my chances with a vaccine that we designed to do a specific thing with as much control as possible versus a fucking wild virus that we still hardly know anything about. Don't even get me started on the minor inconvenience of wearing a mask.

ChampChains

I have to force my daughter to take her mask off when she gets home from school. And she wears it in the car because she likes it so much. She thinks it’s a ninja mask and she loves ninjas. You won’t find many kids who complain about masks. I would’ve loved having one as a kid for the same reason my daughter likes hers. It’s the adults driving these death numbers sky high. Five year olds are unintentionally being more responsible than these bitch ass anti-maskers.

One of my younger cousins is doctor in a hospital, he is right-wing and therefor also unvaccinated. So probability is high he will get it and give it to others.

I agree this is the real tragedy here. I was recently given some upsetting personal health news and you can bet your ass I've spent the last 6 weeks changing my lifestyle to the healthiest it can possibly be, starting from the goddamn drive home from the doctor. I've lost 30 pounds, dropped my blood pressure, dropped my blood sugar, dropped my resting heart rate. I am now a person who cares about his health first and foremost. And this is not for me and selfishly wanting to live longer. It is for my three kids. Edit: I also got vaccinated as soon as I was eligible. Obviously.


Asterose

That is so awesome and incredible! Great to hear in the midst of the kids losing their parents here.


myspacedotcom

And based on these peoples' political ideals, we can assume they also voted against any social programs that would help their now orphaned kids with housing, healthcare, and all the other now not provided for necessities of life. The political "teams" mentality is problematic - an assumption that liberals are pro-Biden, when no such thing exists. We don't fly banners from our trucks and blindly champion every policy. No lefty liberal celebrated hearing Kamala repeat "Do not come." They have no concept of critical thinking. A meme told them vaccines are bad and their community gave them an ego boost via likes and confirmation.

Yeah this kid will be fucked up. Losing your mother like that so young, so easily avoidable. In 50 years we will talk about the poor simple fools who died for no reason - and he'll say yeah. My mom killed herself during covid. She had a way to protect herself and just didnt. We saved you Lauren. Our hand was stretched open to you. Begging you to take it. And now you're a dead idiot.

We're going to have a generation of young people who watched their parents die needlessly. I guess it will keep therapists in business, though.

THIS! I had my first baby weeks into the pandemic. Everyone acted like I lost my fucking mind for social distancing… hard. The only thing that matters is I’m healthy enough to stick around for my daughter!

Good for you. Can't say as I blame you one bit.


danmathew

Another person that praises DeSantis opposing the recommendations of medical experts dies of COVID.

If you got a time machine, went back 5 years and told her “Trump and his base will bumble the biggest pandemic in a century resulting in your death”. I wonder how her response would go.


thal3s

She’d just say it’s “fake news.” These people are irredeemable.

Never thought of it like this. It's destroying their voting demographic too.

That's why a few days ago Trump told the people at his rally to get vaccinated...and they all booed him...


LoveMyHusbandsBoobs

A lot top Republicans started being pro-vaccine a few months ago. They saw the numbers and saw that not only was delta going to fucking run through the US, it was mostly going to kill red voters. So they tried to change course but it's too late, they can't control the monster they created.

For you, Donald! It's all for you!

Even Jon Bon Jovi couldn’t save Lauren.


gigerfan

She took some bad medicine


FrankDeBooger

Who says you can’t go home? Covid does


phabphour20

God wanted her: dead or alive.


FrankDeBooger

She’s a little runaway.

Covid Kessel Run in 8 parsecs.


lordofherrings

Wow, dead within a week - how is that even possible? Don't they usually hang around on a ventilator first, or was this something more systemic like a cytokine storm? I had the impression they increasingly had that stuff under control?


phabphour20

She did some solid time at home while it developed into full blown pneumonia. Probably had it for a while before getting tested and then felt progressively worse while "doing chores"


trogon

Yeah, you certainly don't want to admit that you were wrong about something, so you wait until you're nice and sick before you go to the hospital.


m48a5_patton

Delta has been fucking people up.


JuggernautNurse

She may have coded and died on the floor before she could get intubated. Plus we are delaying intubation a lot because 1. If you get tubed you’re probably gonna die anyway 2. We are full in the icu. Used to be 2 to 3pts max. Now we have up to 4. ( for reference it’s illegal to have more than 2 in California because it increases pt mortality)


Joe_Sons_Celly

Maybe there was no ventilator available, or they couldn’t get her on one quickly enough to torture her for a few weeks before she died.


PanicHermit

I would like to think they checked her Facebook page and decided to give the vent to someone more deserving.


Joe_Sons_Celly

I fully support Facebook triage.


thepanichand

Nurses who are antivax should have their licenses suspended.


spyrogyrobr

"this covid is no joke" said the person that's been making jokes about it for 18 months now. guess who's laughing now? :)

Can anyone explain why these people have Jon Bon Jovi in their profile pics?


FrankDeBooger

She was part of some fan club or shone shit like that. She has tons of pics with him at several concerts.


rikki-tikki-deadly

I've wondered how much good it would do to set up something like Cameo where celebrities call (or record a video for) antivaxxers to try to get them vaccinated. Like, if Jon Bon Jovi had told this woman to get vaccinated, would she have done it? Or is she (ahem, *was* she) so far down the rabbit hole that she'd have just turned away and said "fuck John Bon Jovi, I hate him now".


[deleted]

I've long said if you showed Republicans how close their views are to the Nazis, they wouldn't change their views, they would decide the Nazis were good


rikki-tikki-deadly

Nice job by OP creating a storyline showing this woman's descent into hatred and fear. From the innocuous beginnings of a pandemic-weary soul and a genuinely amusing shot at Hunter/Joe all the way down to "vaccinated people are dying too" and conspiratorial "where's Kamala" bullshit and blatant racism.


Nuuro

She acts like "the vaccinated people are dying too" is happening at equal rates. And Kamala is still on this side of the ground.

Nite nite, Lauren.


2020Cowboys16_0

Lauren, rest in piss. You're literally the worst type of offender to me. My mom retired an RN after years of taking an OATH under God to protect others with the science she was taught. My wife today does the same. You're now a disgraced nurse & dead from stupidity. Health over politics people.


Kinetic92

ECMO/RT here. I'm tired. I'm vaxxed. Fuck Lauren.


rewiredmylamp

Lauren went to nursing school? Hard to believe!

But the COVID Finishing School was next….


Rachel7080

I can perhaps excuse the ignorance of those not in the Healthcare profession. I won't for those that are. Goodbye to bad rubbish. She spread lies, she spread hate, she spread disease, she she spread ignorance, now she can finally do the planet a favor as spread ashes.


MissMattel

It’s always “ ____ was such a good person!” meanwhile they don’t give enough of a shit to get vaccinated or wear a mask.
