Looks like someone is hoping to run for a higher office.
How killing your constituents accomplishes that is beyond me.
Exactly. All these politicians (I'm looking at you, DeathSantis) who are encouraging their constituents to ignore the rules ... which is likely to lead to their constituents' (and their childrens') hospitalization and possibly death... they're effectively reducing the pool of people who will vote for them. I know that's an awful way to look at it, but that's what they're doing. Landry's claim that really kids don't need to be so worried about corona is especially disturbing.
The number of people who die of COVID is extremely low compared to the overall number of voters they gain with their policies.
