A bar in Seattle announced discount prices for people with covid and advertised “come see the show, maybe catch the virus or just stay home and whine.” Bands have backed out from working in the bar and employees have quit. > **[Seattle-area bar faces backlash over 'catch the virus' show](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/seattle-area-bar-faces-backlash-catch-virus-show-rcna14449?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma)** > > The Vessel Taphouse in Lynnwood also said people could enter the bar for a discounted rate with proof of omicron-positive test. ---

I used to live pretty close to Lynnwood, and the Alderwood Mall there isn’t bad. The article subtitle is misleading; an employee posted the ad online without the owner’s knowledge or permission and got fired (or so the owner claims). But that employee was certainly a stupid MFer. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > Another vocal antivaxxer gets a petard hoisting. October was when a good number of my coworkers were canned or “retired early”. The state employee vaccine mandate took its toll. But I was glad to know my remaining coworkers are vaccinated. And we didn’t lose as many as I’d expected. None of the people I know were as vocal as this guy though. His death shows why this mandate was right and so are the state’s efforts to keep people safe. ---

> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > If Lynnwood is populated by that sort of covidiots, I’d recommend getting straight outta there. That far north you do start seeing that sort of thing. I lived in Everett for a few years, just north of Lynnwood on I-5, and it had its fair share of nutjobs. Across the street from me was a guy with a fully-fenced off yard, we’re talking TALL chain link fence, chickens running around everywhere, blacked-out windows, and a giant “Don’t Tread On Me” flag flying from a pole in his yard. I stayed away from that house. ---

No, they seem to be pretty good at forcing their idiocy into everyone else’s face. What they lack is the freedom to force them to agree. ---
