The problem is that far too many people think only about themselves and not about others. If everyone had gotten vaccinated and observed preventive behavior we would have been over with this by now.

No it wouldn't. There was nothing that could be done to make it 'over.'

he relieved himself on the counter of the fast food restaurant, footage posted on Facebook showed.

I think he took live streaming a bit too seriously.

"Muh freedom to be fascist and tyrannize the American people" card that the current administration has been acting on. I agree. If that political party hadn't politicized everything, things would be better.

Ah yes, the fascism of "please wear a mask" and the tyranny of "please get a vaccine."

For as much as your side cries about liberal snowflake tears, I would've expected a bit more strength and a little less whining.

Well, I'm not sure how to react to this. Nasty and ew... but based. Poor DQ staff, he really should be aiming his stream at Trudeau or other government official - now, that, I'd give a kudos to.
Based? How?

This is extreme and stupid, but people *are* getting fed-up with mandates and restrictions and measures that go on and on and on a year and a half into this crisis. Not saying this is in any way justified (it’s destructive and rude and he should have just put the dumb mask on), but folks getting fed up and taking out their anger violently or destructively might be more of a thing.
Of course we’re fed up, this pandemic is horrible in countless ways. But we’re wearing masks because of the pandemic, not because of governors or Biden or the cashier at Dairy Queen.

I agree, and I understand. And I agree that this man’s behavior was ridiculous and stupid.

But as this keeps going, as cities go back into lockdown in some cases, as employers force vaccination on people, as worship is once again banned in some places, and as the media keeps saying or promising one thing then walking it back a week later, we’re going to see more frustrated, angry, fed-up people like this guy, hopefully not taking it out on some innocent Dairy Queen workers, but still.

Yeah, folks like this did not need an excuse. IMO, the mask mandate had little if anything to do with it. He was already unstable.

It is called herd immunity.
Well, if this virus was lab engineered, and with the speed it mutates (Delta, etc.) herd immunity may not not even be a factor. Depending on the cycles of mutation, a person will not become sick, recover, then possess antibodies to fight of the next round. The next round will only be fatal to them.
The only thing that will defeat this virus is vaccination.

I am not sure about that. That is what we thought a few months ago. Not anymore. I suspect this thing will just keep going and going, leaping around everything we throw at it, and mutating yet again every time we’ve supposedly defeated it. Please pray for the future of social and religious freedom. I strongly feel that this virus will be / is being used as an excuse to cleverly clamp down on both.

From what I have seen it was probably not man made. Those that make this claim are generally not the most reliable sources and they seem to base their findings on distortions of scientific papers.

By the way, vaccinations do give protection against variants so far. One can still get ill, but the illness appears to be far less severe with those that are vaccinated and the odds of death drop greatly. One can check for that with hospital records. The unvaccinated are still dying. It is rather rare when a vaccinated person dies, even though they are a significant percentage of the population.

Happy to report my "breakthrough" infection did not kill me!

The current administration opposes fascism.

—ing psychopaths,” he exclaimed before walking out of the store.

Yeah, the DQ staff who asked you to perform the most minor of personal inconveniences for the sake of public health are the psychopaths. Sure, buddy.

I don't know what's worse. That fact we're laughing or the craziness we've experienced that makes this hilarious. We've seen so much this isn't shocking.
