(cw: death, covid)
Sorry if this is bleak, but I felt like talking about it. So I've got a large extended family. A lot of tinfoil hat Qanon type members are dropping like flies. They don't believe covid is real to the very moment they're dying of it. They're deeply certain even as people they've known their whole lives are dying all around them. A good 10% of my extended family has died of covid, a few others have gotten it and have permanent complications now. More than one has ended up in the ER with an overdose of the horse paste.
Any of y'all experiencing the same? What are you doing about it?
One of my best friends was actually a nurse and used to be something of a lib. Now he's an aspiring venture capitalist and listens to Joe Rogan religiously. He swears off the vaccine and suggests that I do ivermectin. I can't fucking believe he was a trained nurse.
