Bullshit and Tuffshit

First, tuffshit: Sorry his ‘take-a-knee, better than thee’ ass caught a cold. Now for the bullshit: 23 paragraphs talk to what a tragedy it is that the Kung Flu infected such a brave (and fit) soul as Ryquell……except the first paragraph of the article says that he doesn’t have it.

Is it so bad and so contagious that we now have to make up cases to frighten folk?

From Yahoo: On Sunday, ESPN reported that Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ryquell Armstead is expected to miss the rest of this season due to COVID-19 complications. It should be noted neither Armstead nor the Jaguars have confirmed he contracted the virus, but he has reportedly been hospitalized twice and continues to struggle with “significant respiratory issues” among other problems.

It was only a matter of time before this happened with an NFL player.

An optimist would believe that this could change minds, but it’s hard to be much of an optimist these days.

Armstead is just a few days shy of his 24th birthday. At his NFL scouting combine less than two years ago, he ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash, put up the 225-pound bench press 22 times and showed off a 7.02-second three-cone.

The point is, he’s fit.

And young.

Just the type of human being some of us are repeatedly told on social media who won’t be affected by COVID. It’s implied that we shouldn’t be concerned whether human beings like Armstead contract the virus because they’ll be fine.

Another 16 paragraphs follow that attempt to generate fear and panic. Again, the entire article begins by stating that he/they have not confirmed they are infected with anything (other than an out-sized sense of privilege.
