quote:White House coronavirus coordinator Deborah Birx said on "Fox News Sunday" that from a public health standpoint, it is "devastatingly worrisome" that protestors in Michigan and around the country are gathering in close quarters and not wearing masks while demonstrating against stay-at-home orders.
Why it matters: President Trump has tweeted support for the Michigan protestors, some of whom were armed and successfully entered the state's Capitol building last Thursday where lawmakers were voting on whether to extend a public health emergency.
Birx noted that these protestors could return home and transmit the coronavirus to family members who may be more vulnerable because of old age or underlying medical conditions.
"They will feel guilty for the rest of our lives," Birx said. "So we need to protect each other at the same time we're voicing our discontent."

I don't think so. If they had conscience and empathy enough to feel guilty about killing grandma, they wouldn't be out there in the first place. These people don't connect those dots.quote:Originally posted by wtg:quote:"They will feel guilty for the rest of our lives," Birx said."

They are retired and in good financial shape. As far as impacts go, they are way low on the curve.

My response was a remark about first world problems and the observation that if their golf game was all they have to worry about they should probably be pretty grateful.

I've gone curmudgeon.
