Understanding the response to COVID is to understand the Right Wing mindset.
Ostensibly, the measures we take are not to avoid the virus ourselves, they are there entirely to stop the NHS getting overwhelmed.
This is the primary reasoning.

This is the first stage of understanding Right Wingers. They can only frame anything in terms of the self. It is beyond them to comprehend that the things we do that are highly inconvenient are first and foremost to prevent harm to the weakest amongst us.

...the measures that are highly inconvenient are also in-place so that the many thousands of people who work directly within our infrastructure are not overworked to a point that the system breaks. Simply by helping the weakest this can happen quite easily.

If ONLY the most vulnerable were all sent to the NHS it would collapse almost overnight.
COVID is passed invisibly and frequently without symptoms to the carrier. Right Wingers cannot feel anything, therefore it doesn't exist to them. They are 'well' ergo 'fake news'.

This extends far further than communicable disease. Anything a Right Winger cannot see, feel or understand is immediately consigned to a mental bin marked 'I'm Alright Jack'.
What we are seeing with this Culture War imported from the USA is clear...

'Left' or 'Right' have ceased to be political. It's not about parties anymore. It is everywhere and concerns everything. And to fit this quacking nonsense of a narrative everything MUST be polarised. Shoved to the furtherest end of each side of the spectrum.

The solution isn't being sat smugly in the middle either. Sneering literally never changed a single thing in history. It's time to choose a side. This may require hanging up ridiculous partisan arguments on the Left about who is the most worthy.

'Contra' is the Spanish for 'against'. It's time to be against the Right Wing. Because it is absolutely and fundamentally against not only YOU but even it's own membership. It is the self against everything else.
Doesn't matter where you think you stand.

Hard Left, Centrist, Green, Liberal, Anarchist, Idle Abstainer... the self-servers are coming for all of you if you do nothing.
Why wait until it gets even uglier? Get rid.
'Unidos Contra'. Be united against them.
Ditch the petty differences.
Unite.

yeah, the 'yellow star' obscenity is all you need to know about how they react when inconvenienced.
no one has a more explosive overreaction to things than those who have everything.
no one is quicker to claim victimhood than the thoroughly guilty.
