Why is the South blatantly and purposely mishandling Covid?

[Antwon Mitchell]

From lack of mask mandates, low vaccination rates, etc, etc, you name it...the governors throughout the south seem to be making no true effort in lessening the impact of the virus but instead are helping it prolong and get worse.

A least 4-5 states in the South have nearly every hospital in their states nearing 100% capacity due to overwhelming daily cases which seems to get bigger every day. I'm pretty sure those governors are aware of what's happening, so what gives?

I'm aware that the South isn't very health-conscious/educated in general but the leadership throughout the region is doing a disservice to its people by not doing anything impactful and allowing the virus to have its way.

The West Coast, Northeast, and parts of the Midwest have managed to do a better job in at least trying to resist Covid whereas the South has appeared to just gave in to the virus, and “whatever happens just happens” seems to be the attitude, which goes back to what I said about the region not being very health-conscious/educated.

Cause they greedy and want to kill off the broke white people as well as the black folks. A win-win-win for the Red states.

As a healthcare provider based in Texas i fully agree. The south has completely dropped the ball in regards to this pandemic. The fact fukking lawyers are controlling health policy its disgusting.

As per Rand Paul/Desantis/Ken Griffin, these people own stocks in the companies that provide antibody treatments. It profits them for people to keep getting sick and not take the vaccine.

But anti vaxxers don't bring up that fact either.

Because our politicians are dumb red neck hicks and the black populace down here is just …

The South writes it’s own narrative around its failures.

See the Confederates were honorable men fighting a just cause.

 

[Wild self]

This is intentional to wipe out 10s of millions of people.

 

[acri1]

It's purely to be anti-liberal/anti-Biden/pro-Trump.

A surprisingly large amount of people are more concerned about politics than their personal health.

 

[Ducktales]

We ran by a bunch of conservative red necks. South is backwards on basically every US policy and logic in itself

 

[Carlton Banks]

The south been trash. That's why this idea that Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and all them other cities are this utopia for black people is just laughable. Our ancestors fled from the south cuz the bs down there is just too much.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

i've notice the south has a historical trend of being especially contrary to human rights much less scientific thought.


Slavery, Black Codes, Sharecropping, Jim Crow, KKK, this pandemic etc...
