It’s been truly amazing to watch how the media determine who deserves to get infected with COVID-19 because they’re “not taking the virus seriously” and who didn’t deserve to get infected but unfortunately did because someone else was “not taking the virus seriously.”

The way cable news anchors and pundits make the distinction is simple: If a given infection occurs in a Republican state or in someone who can be traced to President Trump, the person deserved it. If it takes place in a Democrat or anyone who supports the Black Lives Matter mobs, the person is a sympathetic victim.
