Idiotic, Fox fed, senior neighbors

Where I live in So Cal, there aren't a lot of cases or deaths of COVID-19, but it is looming around the corner in close by neighborhoods. It only takes one trip to the super market or Costco, and life will change.

I was just walking my dog (my mask on), I walked around the pool area. There I saw about 10 seniors sitting in and around the pool. No masks. No physical distancing. Just chatting away like it's any other year in their lives.

I'm pretty sure they are all Trump fans—I know of few of them who definitely are.

They like Russia more than they let on: because they are playing Russian roulette with the virus.

“If I get it, I get it. If I die, I die. I’ve lived a good, long, life, and I’m too old to change.”

Just boggles my mind.

or otherwise something that allows medical providers to pass them by if they show up in an ER.

This way people who aren't so cavalier about dying won't be denied care because of their Fox fed stupidity.

Gasping for breath, surrounded by machines and strangers. I wonder if their survivors will feel the same way?

If their cars got stuck crossing the railroad tracks would they just sit in it until a train hit them?
