The worst part about Covid isn't the virus itself but the stupidity that surrounds it.

This is a great post. Not the text of course, but it's implications. See, the people you think are stupid actually agree with you on this point -- and very likely see you as stupid. Statically, both of you rarely engage the other, but when you do it's to belittle, not to engage and learn. ...and who can blame you - you both think the other is a moron!

2020 saw unprecedented partisanship; if we all continue to insult and dismiss each other, what does the future hold? Unless we can learn to look past our biases and see each other as human beings, it won't be pretty.

You are attempting to lecture me about something I am very much aware of.

That's makes no sense... Why do you do it? Are you trying to speed up the revolution?

The death and illness is pretty bad.

So much so that we can make jokes about the virus while a pandemic is still ongoing.
