How coronavirus spreads


Here's one of those assholes:


At a pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C. this week, pastor and podcast host Clay Clark told the crowd that covid was a hoax, and then asked the mostly unmasked attendees to hug one another:
“Turn to the person next to you and give them a hug, someone you don’t know,” Clark said. “Go hug somebody. Go ahead and spread it out, mass spreader. It’s a mass-spreader event! It’s a mass-spreader event! It’s a mass-spreader event!”
Don't believe anyone could be this stupid?  Here's the video.  The camera pans around to show people hugging one another.  

WTF.  I'm speechless.

  2. Bonus point for the homophobic jab at the end.

  3. This is the nexus between religious extremism and authoritarianism. The two fuel each other. They delight in the absurd world where nothing matters except their unknowable goals.

    One? I can see 9 of them... not a mask to be seen anywhere.
    But, you know, 'rights'.

  6. Brings to mind the saying that is usually incorrectly attributed to Einstein: “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”
