I'm not convinced he's gonna die or anything, but I think the best medicine in the world can prob prop a lot of ppl up for four minutes. Also, when I was sick last spring, I got better and worse in very deceptive intervals. I'd keep thinking I was recovering & then get way worse.

I thought I had a mild case, but after a few days, suddenly my chest felt like it was on fire. Then, moving from the bed to the couch started to feel not only difficult, but also genuinely injurious. Then one of my lungs more or less stopped working.

I would feel less inflamed sometimes, and breathe a bit better. It felt like progress. Then I started waking up at 3 and 4am gasping. I was afraid to go back to sleep, not just bc I was afraid of dying, but bc waking up that way was utterly horrifying. My left lung felt like tar.

My doctor and I talked about me going to the hospital, but it was a bad time to be in a hospital. Rampant sickness, no PPE, no even tests (I was diagnosed remotely) and he didn't know what else they would do unless things spiraled further.

I think he's still in for a rough ride, and no, I am not sorry this is happening to him, nor will I say I am sorry it is happening to him, because I am not full of shit.

I fought like hell to close up my city. Many local officials still would've made fucked up decisions that would have cost lives, and that should be understood, but so, so many more people could be alive. So many caregivers and workers who did what they had to for others got sick.

The number of people who will die because of Trump's COVID response is likely incalculable when you factor in global impacts. We are talking about international atrocity. They have packed migrant folks into planes after holding them in detention centers where COVID is rampant.

I know y'all prob get tired of me reminding you that Stephen Miller loves the book The Camp of the Saints, a book that is harshly judgmental of people with an aversion to genocide. It depicts hordes of brown people overrunning countries that were too foolish to put them down.

The book laments its depiction of the fall of the white world, blaming leaders who are too forward thinking to commit necessary acts of genocide: “With France the Enlightened glad to grovel on her knees, no government now will dare sign its name to the genocidal deed.”

These people are bent on genocide and overthrow. No one should be penalized for... not wishing them well.

Idk if early closures would've kept me from getting sick and I don't really care about that. Because I got better. A lot of people didn't. He could have done everything in the world to save them. Instead he stole PPE and weaponized the virus against countries we deport people to.

He wants to destabilize those countries btw because seizing control of as many resources as possible and strip mining the world is part of the whole era of collapse agenda. That objective is bipartisan at that level of government IMO, but he's going hard like a reality TV star.

No one owes him anything but contempt.
