I find it amazing that David Miller should be unable to comprehend that what I am "bashing" is the poor behavior of others---which he similarly decried---and how that behavior is but should not be politically motivated. Pandemic safety is NOT a political issue and was never one at all until Trump made it so.
I take issue with Miller's statement that his four trips to Vegas were "safe" because he personally didn't get sick. I am reminded of a friend who used to get drunk every Friday evening after work and then drive the half an hour home. He never got in an accident---and averred that for him, at least, driving while drunk was perfectly safe. He, of course, never considered that he was putting other drivers in danger in addition to himself. But he had to have his Friday night fun.
Likewise, even if we don't care about our own safety, we shouldn't travel now, because we endanger others by doing so.
