      Everyone who takes this stance should be made to sign a statement saying they will forgo ventilators and other treatment if this get the virus.https://twitter.com/mannyNYT/status/1251564861257113602 …

      Can you not empathize w/ these people? Many from rural areas where the danger feels theoretical. Still, they can't work. Can't live their lives. Their political leaders won't explain the severity of the threat. Some will need ventilators & they will get them. We are not monsters.

      From their signs, many of these people are anti-vaxxers. They've proven they will not listen to science even in normal times.

          I think these are the same people who ride motorcycles without helmets. Expect society to pay for their reckless decisions. Form of entitlement.

          Motorcycle injuries do not spread exponentially among the population. I'd agree that we should let them learn their lesson the hard way if not for the fact that many innocent ppl will also suffer the consequences.

          Oh the anti-vax idiocy--they should not be allowed to cherry-pick what science they decide to believe in, while hurting the rest of society..especially now during a damned pandemic..If they choose no vaccination, then no medical help, besides medicine is backed by science🤨

          Don't write them off. They have a legitimate grievance. They are asked to give up work and income with inadequate or no compensation. Nor do they have healthcare, in many cases.
