And this is precisely why I'm not going to take the moral high ground on Rudy. Yeah, what he did was stupid. People are still constantly making jokes about the coronavirus, and why wouldn't they? Humor is used in almost every situation, no matter what it is. Touching a few mics is completely trivial when you consider the fact that he also played a basketball game and is around his teammates constantly.
The NBA was being suspended no matter what. If you're mad at him for that, you're literally mad about someone catching something that they could not avoid. There are also much more serious things to care about when it comes to this virus than watching basketball games.
The mob mentality is crazy. Let's just throw everyone in jail who has ever made a joke about the virus /s. Making people with the virus out to be criminals rather than helping them and getting more people tested is very damaging. This manufactured malicious intent is causing real harm that won't go away with a vaccination.
