        @MapleEngineer Interesting that there is a Wikipedia article on it. I have a close relative who was an ER nurse in a deep red state when the pandemic hit. Lots of deniers, refused to mask up, infected all of the caregivers who were overwhelmed with the sick and the dead. They didn’t have enough beds or morgue space. So I have zero sympathy for people who put others at risk. There are a million dead, ironically many of them Trump voters. I give zero fucks for the antivaxers.

        This is a fine wine of schadenfreude!

          I would never wish death on anyone or celebrate anyone’s senseless death and this death was truly senseless. I feel bad for her family.

            “I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”

              I’ve always taught my kids not to wish death on anyone and not to celebrate anyone’s death. You can think those things but never say them out loud.

              There are a few people alive right now who will draw a smile when I hear that they have passed.
