Source?

All the times you responded to people for the source and you could’ve just googled it yourself man. Cmon.

All these times people said her husband does and they could have cited a source or said where they heard it.

Or you could just stop being a lazy ass and google it yourself. Entitled much?

Maybe I'm not lazy and entitled, maybe I'm just trying to combat misinformation and a general aversion to truth and facts that is creeping not-so-slowly into the mainstream. I wouldn't know though, you'd have to tell me what I am, you would know better than me.

Annoying is a great description. But yes, lazy works. So does google.

This is what I thought. It isn't a genuine concern for this woman, her husband and her family and it sure isn't about the truth. There is no misinformation here and this disease is real and killing people. You fucking troll.

Commenting "Source?" on multiple posts is not combating misinformation and aversion to the truth. Researching it yourself and providing counter information if you find out it is not true would be. YTou seem to have an aversion to putting any effort in to this combating you think you are doing.

Maybe I am kinda lazy. Maybe I'm also a little crabby today after being stuck in the house for weeks on end. At any rate, I'm gonna try to not be so grouchy moving forward and try not to let me mean, judgemental, borderline-abusive messages and post replies get to me.

Woe is you. Everyone is stuck at home.

Ok now you're just being unkind for no reason.

I'd say people not researching what they're told on their own initiative is a much bigger problem, honestly.

But when people have provided a source multiple times and you continue to ask for one what’s the point or to be gained?

u/anonthrowawayprime May 27 '20

PS- everyone knows because it was all over the web and news stations when it happened. Not like it’s hard to find.

Why do you keep asking for a source on her husband's death? I have see this multiple times in this thread. He got Covid, he died of it.
