I hate these morons. I have no skin in the immediate financial game for this, I'm military and the wife was still working during this, but it still pisses me off because it is obviously horrible for the country (Canada). My wife is a 50/50 covidiot ie. thinks its just masks who cares wear it, cites cases and stuff, didn't think business shutdowns were a huge deal. However when I bring up counter points (I almost never suffer foolishness and will happily tell people why I think their ideas are wrong, I like debating) she usually is forced to admit that none of it makes any sense, and they are at best horribly overreacting.
One example I gave her was about our dogs. No kids, not gonna have kids but a few dogs and cats, and animals are her life. We were arguing about the covid bullshit, shutdowns of businesses came up. The general points were that I said its absolutely terrible, she thought it was not as big a deal. All i had to say was "it's easy for you to not really care or see how big a deal this is, but I bet you would change your tune if neither of us were getting paid and my choice was whats got to go, us eating or the animals eating. And a ton of people are going to be dealing with a lot harder choices then that due to this." Instantly a flash of understanding in her eyes.
It's really easy to see something as not a big deal, when it doesn't effect you.
More should be made of the fact that pets are a repository for the 'virus'. They had to cull 3 million minks in Denmark because they were carrying COVID. Cats have shown to be able to carry it too. I would love to see the about-turn from all these super-privileged WFH women when the prospect of culling their fur-kids is on the agenda.

Spot on. What’s worst is villifying people for not wanting to comply with arbitrary rules that doesn’t affect you.
