We really need to start seeing the Pandemic as Civil War II.

I always thought that when Trump dropped the ball on limiting the spread in the coastal cities and later stiffed the Blue States on PPE and testing supplies it was a concerted effort to kill Libs.

Now, DeSantis and Abbot and other Red-state Govs are killing their own. It looks like pure suicidality, but at the end they'll have a battle tested group of immune survivors with fanaticism baked into their bones -- standing on a mound of the dead, but survivors, still.

Worst of all, they're biding their time until a vaccine-resistant variant emerges so that the Blue-Staters will start dying en masse again.
