1. Put the unvaccinated in a tent with A/C and ventilators and house them there

18. Food, water and a cot.

In old unused warehouses and old vacant stores like Kmarts.

Save the ventilators for the children.

2. To All Trump MAGA Folks.....CHILDREN ARE DYING...FROM YOUR BULL SHIT

14. Once it's out of the womb they don't care. n/m

15. +1

Least of all now, when promoting the spread of Covid seems to have become a sport for them - and what's more, a loyalty test.

16. Damn straight!! I have been say that for years. Get born then you are on your own.....

..... stay alive to the drafting age just in case we want to fight another war.

If you survive then as a veteran civilian you are again on your own. National healthcare might keep you alive to retire and collect Social Security.

If you should die well that's ok that leaves the money in the SS trust. Someday...SOMEDAY we will get our hands on it which has always been our goal.

The GQP short version.
if you are unborn you are a political asset. When you are born you become a liability until you are of draft age now for a short time you are again an asset to take up arms against our new enemies. If you survive the military years you now become a long-term liability. BUT if you die now all you have paid in Social Security will fatten the trust fund. Until we the GQP get our hands on it and bleed it dry by shifting the wealth to us.

3. if adults had STAYED masked up

the CDC very much helped spread the virus with their ridiculous "honor system"

[OhioChick]

4. Exactly! n/t

5. it was disturbing seeing how many DUers went along with it

I just expect DUers to be better at this stuff

[OhioChick]

6. It surprised me, as well n/t

[Skittles]

9. yes

if WE knew that, why didn't THEY.........just disgusted with them, they have lost so much credibility

[OhioChick]

12. I agree...

Our CDC "was" always so reputable.

[mountain grammy]

10. I'm sure all the prayer warriors in Texas will be busy this weekend

probably too busy to get the vaccine.

11. Was the mama able to accompany her baby at all?

I don’t know if it is possible for a family member to come on a Medi-Vac flight, but this just breaks my heart.

13. I know. It's heartbreaking.

I hope they let the mother go with her, but the protocol so far has been to keep relatives away. They should change that for pediatric cases.

[Laurelin]

17. If she's intubated she won't know if her parents are there

Not going to help her parents' trauma though. I can't imagine what they're going through, but I hope there's a joyous ending.
