Jon Favreau, Obama's speechwriter, complaining about the tweet...
Didn't realize this brand of person is still at it on here. Impressive stamina.
Just to follow up: the brand of person I was referring to is someone who tells people to fuck off if they choose to work from home while sick. I don't find that persuasive, I find it unhinged.
Long Covid is real, tragic, and deserves more attention (I had a post-Covid condition myself - not fun). Covid is still dangerous for a lot of people, especially older and immunocompromised. If you get even a mild case and feel too sick to work from home, you absolutely shouldn't have to. But advocacy for any of these issues isn't coming on this platform to swear at strangers for perfectly reasonable statements and actions.
It's counterproductive and absurd and I won't pretend otherwise. People suffering deserve better advocacy than this shit.
some people do get off easy with an infection and his job is very easy, is he supposed to dramatize a mild case just because all his friends downplay the pandemic?
i have trouble understanding why we should be mad about what somebody chooses to do while isolating as long as they actually isolate. Plenty of other shit to be mad at genocide sanders about.
He's normalizing working while sick from a preventable, poorly understood vascular disease that causes neurological dysfunction that's also deadly. Especially in his age cohort.
That sounds like typical lib shit to me.
that's why he was the compromise
