This response doesn’t make sense. |
| Saying that she was obese and therefore we should not be surprised by her death is just giving themselves a false sense of security. “Can’t happen to me. I’m fit.” Sure, being obese makes you higher risk, but this virus has taken many young, fit people too. She was an exceptional human being and her death is a huge loss. For anyone who dismissed it as something we should have expected perhaps is a fool. |
You are kidding yourself if you don't think that lots of people would think that. Of course, someone wouldn't likely say that to you and, if they did, it would be reasonable for you to be somewhat taken aback. But, can't you recognize the difference in etiquette in terms of what is reasonable in person and what is reasonable on anonymous board talking about a person none of us know. And no, I am not saying that because it is anonymous we can be boorish things we wouldn't dare say in person. I am saying that, in these two very different contexts, what is actually acceptable is different -- not that you can just get away with it online. In this context, a discussion of known risk factors seems ok to me. |
No one is doing that, but pretending we are all at equal risk of dying from COVID is delusional. We need to accept the reality of risk factors. |
Your mother can not prevent being 75 but you can prevent obesity. Anyways, I was the original person that said the article said she was healthy but she is obese. By no means did I say or imply that she should be dead. I was just pointing out a flaw in the article. |
| She was only 35. What a tremendous loss for her family and school community. |
Thank you for being the disgustingly predictable minimizer on just the second reply. Jerk. |
I think they are just pointing that out because being obese means you’re high risk for covid. It also means she could have had other health issues she just didn’t know about. A lot of the stories of young people dying from covid where they say they were healthy, you notice they were overweight... This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t feel sorry for this loss!! It just means that when the news says “35 and healthy” it’s not exactly accurate because being overweight literally puts you at high risk. |
The economy is made up of winners and losers and some losers must die to save the economy according to Republicans supply side Jesus |
And it’s nowhere near here. El Paso. Nice try. |
When someone you care about dies, I hope someone points out that they, too, were old or sick or had some bad habit that led to their death. You deserve no sympathy from anyone. |
Heartless bitches of DCUM just being bitches again. I’m so sick of you. |
| It is a great video, and shows the amazing things our teachers do every day when they are with our children in the classroom. Can’t wait till next year when the kids will be back! Rest In Peace, Zelene |
| Look how happy the kids are to be around each other, especially the lucky boy on the receiving end of all the hugs. |

That's a wrap, pp. They derail every thread. I think it's the same small group of sanctimonious bitches. Very ugly group. |
