Like I showed up thread, I live in one of the darkest counties of one of the darkest states. My niece was proxy for seven (maybe more by now) families that could not hold their loved one’s hand as they passed away. I didn’t go home when my sister passed to be with my mom because I didn’t want potentially bring it to WNY.
It really wasn’t much of a sacrifice. I mean, I absolutely could have just said, “Darn it! I’m goin’, because Ya know, ‘Murica!” And I would have had a great excuse. I figured saving lives was more important.
Now is not the time for politics. In fact, the people playing politics with this are making it worse for us all.
