Looking at the people in Clallam County standing outside the courthouse whining about COVID mandates, I've decided mother nature will take her course, thin out the herd, and let them get sick or die, their choice, that's what they want, well don't go to the hospital, emergency room or urgent care when you get sick, health care workers don't deserve to get sick because people are careless with others lives.
