“I thought I was going to have one more Christmas with him, and it’s absolutely a punch in the gut now that he is not here,” Yoakam said. “My dad died, and it’s just infuriating to me that people are not taking this seriously.”

Corey blames those who’ve refused to slow the spread of COVID-19 with worsening the pandemic and filling hospital beds that could be used to care for other patients.

“I don’t think they understand that people are dying, not just from COVID, but from everyday issues because of their negligence,” Yoakam said.

North Lima is 12 miles south of Youngstown.

And, over the weekend, dumbass MAGATs here held a protest over wearing masks,saying they should be “a matter of personal choice.”
