Rona, then ventilator, followed by stroke.

Guy has several chronic diseases. He is anti-vaxer, "sheeple," and all that bullshit.

So he gets in hospital with Rona. Check himself out of hospital because he didn't like hospital regimentation. (We can all agree with that). The next FB post is him IN A FUCKING BAR with beer glasses in front of him. HE HAS LIVE CORONA and he's going out in public.

Three days later, he's back in E.R., followed by ventilator. Yesterday, while on ventilator, he had a stroke.


Have you ever seen a person on a ventilator? They can't talk. Their hands are restrained so they can't write anything or post on an iPad.

Now add a stroke to that.

What a shitty final exit.

1. There's a reddit forum-- the Herman Cain Awards--

which collects stories like this.
Horrible and heartbreaking, and all so useless. Why do they do this to themselves and others?
I will never see that GIF of lemmings again without thinking of these people.

And even if he infects someone he knows at the bar, it's probably nobody close to him anyways.

These people don't care about their own health, so why worry about someone else's?

Hopefully he doesn't make it, the world will be a much better place without him. Although that bar will have lost a customer.

It is more horrible than anyone can imagine. Why wouldn’t anyone do anything to avoid that situation? It is the pictures of the children in iron lungs that inspired so many people to get the polio shot I think

5. I believe most people when they are put on a ventilator are put in a medically induced coma

so even the suggestion that they could post on an iPad if their hands weren't restrained, is pretty much a stretch
