I have noticed that many of these stories about people who are in ICU, or who died suddenly, because of this involve someone about whom they refer to "his husband:.

He blames Trump and DeSantis, but I suspect that anyone who can be referred to as "his husband," or "his boyfriend" takes risks that the rest of us wouldn't consider.

You'd think they would have learned something from AIDS, but I guess not.

Homosexuals are exposed to, and have a whole range of unusual diseases because of their sexual activities. Unhealthy lifestyle gets you unhealthy.

My first thought when I read this was an LGBTQ festival was how many of these people were already immunocompromised.

This sounds like suicide, or at least playing Russian roulette.

Gay men have an entirely different immune system. Especially gays over 60. No new news here. Nothing to see, move along.

I too noticed that this was a gay event and so the attendees were probably left wing and already have bias against the president and governor. That said, the comments here are ignorant and shameful.

If the complainer is a dentist, that means he is supposed to be a healthcare professional, so he and his mate should have known the risks of living an unhealthy lifestyle. Neither the President or the Governor are healthcare professionals, and when they issue guidelines those measures are the result of professional advise given to them before they issue their guidelines. What is known today by the President and the Governor from data surrounding the novel corona virus is a lot more then they knew a month or two months ago.

Probably a lot more than Wuhan Virus circulating among that crowd.
Comment as informed opinion, not ignorant, and not shameful.

I await Piglousi's next pork bill, say in the amount of $10B, for the Alphabet Group.

Aren't you glad his hand wasn't in your mouth ? It's pretty disgusting and he should have kept it to himself.
Healthcare workers should have to tell you if they are gay.

So many of the reports of covid-19 deaths go out of their way to bury the deceased persons risk factors. Some of the reports go way out of their way to give the impression the person had none (and, by implication, that YOU AND I are going to die if we catch it).
