People are stupid. The United States lack of appropriate action in curbing the spread of COVID-19 is absolutely evident of that.

Allowing people "free reign" has done fuck all... Clearly it doesn't work... And clearly the Government needs to employ some direction and actual leadership and stop being an absolute joke on the world stage.

Baskets of deplorables... endless fields of them..

That is because I am a winner in life.

There can only be one winner and he's the President. Take comfort in that though because it also makes him the biggest loser, so they say..

You are only looking at it from a binary perspective.

I guess I'm not the only one then..

And that is selfish free-for-all mentality that gets people killed. Good job. You are part of the problem, you lack empathy for other people.

If they don't make the new year because of delayed treatment due to making the right moves for everyone I'll be sure to let you know..

Who am I kidding? I won't care anyway. I'm selfish..

I protect life, property and the environment.

I run into burning buildings with 300'C/600'F temperatures while other people run out.
I scale down cliffs on a couple of pieces of rope to pluck someone who has fallen down.
I head out to sea with 8-10 meter/26-32 feet swirl to pluck someone from a sinking boat.

I am not adverse to making myself uncomfortable to protect another individual.
I am not against giving up a little of my time to ensure that someone is safe and healthy.

And by giving up some of my "freedom" and staying in lockdown for a few weeks, I have ensured that other people are safe and healthy and can continue their much enjoyed freedoms at a later date when lockdown is lifted.

Everyone is in this together. Don't be selfish, I literally got the moral high ground on this one Eric.

And when the power goes out to a hospital, and the back up generators unfortunately don't fire up, who get's up in the middle of the night and does what's necessary to get the power back up asap for those needy people? Or maybe an old folks home in the middle of the freezing winter or dead heat of summer. Gotta fix the pole line in this case? Mother nature doesn't care. The storm ain't going anywhere, so save yourself, them, or try to do both as safely as possible. Sometimes all don't get saved, and sometimes the help goes along with them.

Luckily for Earth there's more than just one superhero..

Though I, respect that you do what you do.
