You're not right in the head, are you? :kookoo:
[h=1]Man Not Sure He Can Take Another 6 Weeks Of Barely Following CDC Guidelines[/h] ST. LOUIS—Following more than a month of halfhearted adherence to guidelines put in place to combat Covid-19, local man Luke Bradley confirmed Friday that he was unsure if he could take another six weeks of barely adopting practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. “I honestly don’t know how much longer I can keep running cold water over my hands for a few seconds every time I’ve been in a public space,” said Bradley, who explained that the changes he had made to his personal routines, such as reducing his trips to the corner store for snacks and beverages to twice a day, had begun to take a heavy toll on his mental health. “I’m about to hit my breaking point, especially with social distancing. It’s so depressing when you can only hang out with a few different groups of friends on a Friday night instead of going to a club or a big house party. Oh, and God help you if you post pictures of yourself on social media with your arms around a bunch of your pals, because you’ll get attacked for being ‘part of the problem.’ Bradley went on to bemoan the fact that he wasn’t even allowed to see his grandmother, adding that if the 87-year-old woman could survive diabetes, lupus, and the loss of half a lung to cancer, she ought to be able to survive a visit from a loved one.

I just have to laugh. jgarden goes to a fact check org funded and run by a radical left wing organization responsible for the coordination of all the left wing "fact checkers", Poynter Institute. It's funding comes from far left orgs.
Do a little research and you will find many far left orgs on this list and far left people. The IFCN coordinates the strategies with all the left wing "fact checkers". Too bad jgarden can't do a little research and find an unbiased source of fact checking.
