Do you deserve to die from Covid19 if you voted for Trump/Bojo?

[NorthWestPerm2Contr]

I've been pondering about this and the below quote.

If you decide to vote in somebody like Trump then why should you not expect to face the consequences? Similarly many anti Corbyn voters thought Bojo would do better - his actions have wrecked the economy and caused over 50,000 deaths. Why should mankind not be held accountable for it's actions and not face the consequences?

This is not about politics, I'm neither tory or labour but when there is a clear tyrant and an entire country votes them in, you have to ask yourself if this is just reward.

No.

his actions have wrecked the economy and caused over 50,000 deaths.

when there is a clear tyrant

Utter bollocks are you suffering from something?

Bojo and Trump both joked about Coronavirus early on. Trump mocked it as fake news and that it's "totally under control". Bojo said "Wash your hands and sing happy birthday". Had lock down started a few weeks earlier then there would have been barely any deaths like in South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan etc etc.

Depends.

Also bollocks. At that point it was a Far East problem like SARS and MERS and they'd have looked silly locking down if it turned out to be a damp squib. Covid spreads and kills as it will and what we've done is protect the NHS rather prevent deaths which will happen anyway, Unfortunately we're not a remote country like New Zealand and we don't have a population that reacts well to political management of our liberties (Covidiots anyone?) and we don't do cover ups as well as some other regimes.

Seems you've been on the sherry too!

They are. They are being governed by idiots.

Similarly many anti Corbyn voters thought Bojo would do better - his actions have wrecked the economy and caused over 50,000 deaths.

Bojo has not wrecked the economy. Don't give him so much influence
BoJo has not killed 50,000 people. The government put out advice and put some rules in place. If people didn't think these were strong enough they had the option to do more. As seen by the hordes hitting the beaches of Devon and Cornwall today, the general public have to share some of the blame.

Why should mankind not be held accountable for it's actions and not face the consequences?

Mankind is doing far more damage to the environment, which over time will kill far more people than this virus ever will. We are being held responsible for our collective actions - people are dying.

This is not about politics

And yet you're trying to make it so.

I'm neither tory or labour

Nor me.

but when there is a clear tyrant and an entire country votes them in, you have to ask yourself if this is just reward.

If he is a tyrant, he wouldn't need people to vote for him. He's a liar, and an idiot, but again you give him too much credibility to be a tyrant. And the whole country didn't vote for him - I didn't. You apparently didn't. My wife tells me she didn't.

At the point when Johnson was announcing that he was shaking hands with people (3rd March) in a hospital, including Covid patients, it was clear that this was battulip crazy.

I’m shaking hands continuously. I was at a hospital the other night where I think there were actually a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody, you’ll be pleased to know. I continue to shake hands.

We already have a fantastic NHS, fantastic testing systems and fantastic surveillance of the spread of the disease … I want to stress that for the vast majority of the people of this country, we should be going about our business as usual.”

I think a lot of people should die, regardless of whether they die of covid or something else and regardless of what they voted. Too many people on this planet.

They all will, so don't sweat it too much.
