There is common sense, and then there is Massachusetts

 From Discourse Gun Free Zone

“I talked with my sweet Aunt last night for Christmas, and realized something was different. She’s a blue person in a very blue state (Massachusetts) and while doing our once or twice a year catching up on how everyone has been, she asked how we in FL were doing with covid. We do live on different planets all right.

“She gets her picture of reality from the legacy media, and seems to think that the covid dead are being stacked like cordwood and ‘we all have to get our shots’. I tried to keep it on an even keel, but how do you gently tell someone they need to look at reality instead of MSNBC/CNN/NPR?

“The last time our side of the family got together was a cousin’s wedding in Ohio back in the late Fall of 2019… I don’t think they’re going to understand why I won’t / can’t go flying up to visit the northeast without a DHSS internal covid passport. Oh well.”
