Stepping into the language of my former career, I think that while this could be described as mass "suicide", I suspect that there might be a strong case for "mass homicide" in places like Floriduh and Texass (along with some others, but those were the only two I could think of clever misspellings for.)

Southern Oregon, according to the O, is one the nation's hot spots. I was on a thread yesterday with some locals and some of them were opposing mandates, while speaking about the need in some places for field hospitals. One person tried to turn it into a argument about abortion. I had to work hard to remain polite.
That is amazing to me too. A lot of these people are the same people who have complained from the beginning about lockdowns, masks, vaccines, other protocols.
I grew up in Southern Oregon, I have family there still. Those folks are nigh onto crazy. My sister works at a large discount grocer, and is constantly berated about requirements fo shopping there (masks/distancing) that are government mandated. My ex sister-in-law is 10 days out of hospital following a hospitalization for Covid (anti vaccination). They are lunatics.
I have always seen it as place that is beyond the pale and often beyond the law. I just read an article this week about illegal marijuana grows there. I thinking now of the Illinois Valley area. My sojourns to southern Oregon have been to Ashland and Jacksonville and the beautiful awesome Crater Lake. Think we also visited the Oregon Caves. I can't imagine living there. I grew up in northern Indiana and many of my ex-classmates are Trumpers.
Ally, when I first read "...I could think of clever misspellings for," I immediately thought you meant "cleaver." That would be a way of committing suicide. It surely would be a way done by the Taliban.

I have said this before here: Florida Gov and the man he is emulating should be charged with Crimes Against Humanity.
Yes! Mass murder.
Oh, and blessings to you and your "tribe": thank you for all you are doing for all of us.

It's stunning how disconnected some people see their CHOICE from the consequences.

On my goodness. You are amazing
There IS sort of a comparison that could be made there but not worth the effort is it?
Choice, right? Masking can be a choice, but not abortion...
Jawjah? We have a Moron In Charge, who's leaving masks and vaccines up to the populace, who "have good sense." Maybe not, since our cases are spiking.
Exactly!
