The virus prefers conservatives!

[fridi]

3 Senators tested positive in the last few days. Ron Johnson, Thom Tillis, Mike Lee, all Republicans. Tillis and Lee are on the Judiciary Committee. Without them, Democrats hold the majority. Not sure yet what that does to the Barrett nomination. Does she need to be confirmed by a Judiciary Committee majority before a full Senate vote? Moscow Mitch must be freaking out.

But that's not my point. Notice something? None of the high-profile politicians getting sick with Covid-19 are Democrats. Why is that?

Let's start a QAnon type conspiracy theory: The Democrats are engaging in germ warfare against the Republicans, with the help of the Chinese Communists!

Or maybe it's just that the Coronavirus has a left wing bias?

But meh. Srsly, the likely source of the infection was the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett. It was a large event full of prominent Republicans who were not masking or socially distancing. It was a perfect storm for a super spreader event.

Or if we're to use Occam's Razor, it's just God's righteous hammer, period.
