Woo-Hoo! SCV LOVES Coronavirus! Wait two weeks and watch the huge surge in cases here, as hundreds of people at the Chump rallies in Canyon Country and Stevenson Ranch the other night-NONE of them wearing masks, NO social distancing, and everyone yelling and screaming at each other, by themselves will be directly responsible for that increase in COVID cases, many will be hospitalized, some will die. We were doing better than most keeping the numbers down, and now, once AGAIN, we will be back to straining hospitals to the max! Gotta LOVE it! Nobody gives a crap! Stupid people! (In more ways than one) The only way we’re gonna get past this is if they mandate face masks and vigorously bust butt-holes who don’t wear them! If they don’t wanna lock-down again, it’s the only way to deal with it right now. We progress and get the numbers down only to have groups of ignorant, selfish jerks decide they’re above getting sick, and then what happens?? Again and again we go through this yo-yo thing and it’s not going to just go away like some mental midgets have told you! We need to get SERIOUS about this! It’s a FACT that these a Trump rallies are responsible for their own super-spreader events! Look, if we can’t be responsible on our own to do what we need to do to take care of and manage the COVID, then sadly the big baby-sitter is gonna have to pull in the reigns and get down to business instead of our government doing nothing at all presently! Are they doing a good job and we’re getting somewhere here and eradicating it? HELL NO! Mid-management at its WORST! This is a disgrace! What a joke we are to the rest of the world! Bumbling idiots! Keystone Kops! Sad…….
Am, and yet at the same time you had nothing to say about the past maskless protesters, as well as the violent rioters who were destroying anything and everything that is not theirs during this pandemic, nothing,
oh wait, you call them rallies, my bad,
You know, as a liberal Communist Democrat, I wouldn’t expect less. You’re just so intelligent.
Compared to you, I’m a genius! Bit that’s not saying much…Hey, I don’t feel the need to post on EVERY article! Funny though, I was thinking it, as far as those protests and rioting is concerned! Same deal, though more people were wearing masks at any one of the protests compared to ZERO wearing masks at Chump rallies! Interesting how people like you still like him even though he has no problem sickening and killing his own supporters before the election! He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about you or anyone other than himself, but I can’t expect you to see that, since you and likeminded folks have ? for brains!
