Can't Breathe

By Sniffles

Sorry to gross you out on a Friday night, but we cats are sharing this because we're beside ourselves at the number of Americans who are whistling past the COVID graveyard.

This photo's been making the rounds. It's a section of lung from a 20-year-old coronavirus patient. The virus did so much damage that she had to undergo a double-lung transplant. (This is per a doc at Johns Hopkins, so the intel is good.) Twenty years old!!

In short, every bunny, you do not want to screw around with this virus. Yes, not everyone ends up with a double transplant and on a ventilator, but there's still too much we don't know. Some patients die, some end up critical, some have only mild symptoms, and others are sick for months. Why risk it if you don't have to?

Yet it's possible that some MAGAts will indeed risk it. They're not offended that Benedict Donald is holding his first pandemic "show" in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Juneteenth — we know that, because they are racists. But do they know that Tulsa has also had a huge spike in COVID-19 cases?

That's why the Trump campaign has insisted that Tulsa attendees sign a waiver exculpating them from any subsequent illness. (Even though Trump insisted the pandemic was a Democratic hoax.) They're already trying to take away healthcare from millions of Americans — they sure don't want to pay any MAGAt idiot's COVID-related hospital bills.

The Trump fans' blinkered ignorance is breathtaking to behold, but it succinctly explains why Benedict Donald is pandering to them so relentlessly. They're all he has left. What we can't figure out is: Why is he trying to kill them before Election Day? We cats HISS.
