My point is that I understand why some people are grumbling about that play last night, and are crying for a change to the existing rules.

My antivax niece just posted something stupid again, part of which was "a virus with a 98% survival rate". I always wonder why the folks who push the "98% survival" line never do the math that 2% of 360 Million = 7,200,000 dead. Like wiping one of the big metro areas off the map.

One of my other friends has been arguing with him on FB. He claims all of the people in "one state" who are hospitalized are vaxxed.
I don''t understand why some people want to believe the conspiracies and reject all other knowledge.
