(cw: death, covid)

Sorry if this is bleak, but I felt like talking about it. So I've got a large extended family. A lot of tinfoil hat Qanon type members are dropping like flies. They don't believe covid is real to the very moment they're dying of it. They're deeply certain even as people they've known their whole lives are dying all around them. A good 10% of my extended family has died of covid, a few others have gotten it and have permanent complications now. More than one has ended up in the ER with an overdose of the horse paste.

Any of y'all experiencing the same? What are you doing about it?

    I'm really not sure what can be done. My Trump-supporting neighbor and his spouse just died of covid because they refused to get vaccinated. I tried to broach the topic with them a while back, but a lot of these people are too far gone to be reached, especially by a "liberal" neighbor. Not sure what I would do if it was a relative.
