This guy is an elected official in the state of Maryland.
"Studies show up to 70-86% of the public already have or had coronavirus..."
— Delegate Dan Cox.
They show absolutely no such thing you ignorant gob.
While the portion of humanity that has some basic contact with reality debates whether the largest serological survey to date (in CA) shows a 2% prevalence or 4% prevalence, elected officials are hamming it up with numbers like "70 - 86%".
Stop. Electing. Illiterate. Innumerate. Fucking. Buffoons.
I don't give a damn what your politics are. Stop putting people in office that are literally less fucking educated and less cognitively capable than a 12 year old.
To paraphrase H.L. Mencken:
As democracy is perfected, the political offices represent, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the highest offices of our land will be adorned by downright morons.
