Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

I agree with the sentiment but that sentence was brutal

That red COVID article is just full of incredible quotables[

Since Delta began circulating widely in the U.S., Covid has exacted a horrific death toll on red America: In counties where Donald Trump received at least 70 percent of the vote, the virus has killed about 47 out of every 100,000 people since the end of June, according to Charles Gaba, a health care analyst. In counties where Trump won less than 32 percent of the vote, the number is about 10 out of 100,000.

What distinguishes the U.S. is a conservative party -- the Republican Party -- that has grown hostile to science and empirical evidence in recent decades. A conservative media complex, including Fox News, Sinclair Broadcast Group and various online outlets, echoes and amplifies this hostility. Trump took the conspiratorial thinking to a new level, but he did not create it.

"With very little resistance from party leaders," my colleague Lisa Lerer wrote this summer, many Republicans "have elevated falsehoods and doubts about vaccinations from the fringes of American life to the center of our political conversation."

In The Atlantic, Olga Khazan has argued that fear remains the best motivator, based on her interviews with Tucker Carlson viewers who nonetheless have been vaccinated. And Daniel Darling, an evangelical author, has said that one-on-one conversations encouraging conservatives to talk with their doctors will have more success than any top-down campaign.

Then again, Darling's message also shows why the vaccination gap exists in the first place. After he wrote an op-ed in USA Today about his decision to get vaccinated, Darling's employer -- NRB, an association of Christian broadcasters -- fired him.

That's why I started to do the math. It's the margins brehs. These are crazy people we are dealing with. They pledge themselves to a crazy ex president, that got vaccinated. Trump even tells people at his rallies to get the shot and they boo him. So, to that point, I'm going to continue to laugh at their stupidity and willful ignorance.

Pretty much all of Scandinavia has lifted all restrictions domestically (Norway, Denmark, Sweden)
