I’m in NC right now, and it’s moving how the local population resembles the overall population. In any given store, about half are wearing a mask, the other half do not.
I’ve heard it from the horses’s mouths that “masks are political.” And no matter how apolitical disease is, the mask is seen as a vehicle driving the parties in separate directions.
I see the mask as an act of compassion toward others, not a political stance. It doesn’t tell me, I’m a democrat. It says, “I care about people at risk.” Hell, it’s selfish, too, I guess. I like not being sick and it seems to be a simple safeguard against even silly diseases that have forever gotten in my system and left.
And, yet, here we are. Watching our population diminish for politics. One side’s politics think it’s selfless to wear a mask, to contain not just Covid, but disease. To think of others health first. The other party associates freedom with their face free of diversion, thereby allowing their crusty, shit-infested spittle and viral-loaded snot to fly free from interference.
These charts are loaded with data that show how America is winning its war to spread covid faster, further and more productively than the rest of the world, exemplifying our dominance in killing itself from within. Good on us. We are winning the war of killing ourselves for “politics.”
