In 2018, Friend A posted a story on Facebook about how the mayor of a city wanted to stop their EMTs from answering calls for people who were overdosing. Apparently people were using in public places because if they ODed then chances were high that someone would call for help whereas if they were alone at home they would most likely not make it. The justification was that there were so many called involving ODs that if someone was having any other medical issue they were finding the EMT response time high. The thinking was the ODs should be further down on the response list.
Friend B posted about how horrible that was and how terrible for this mayor to have no sympathy for these drug addicts.
Fast forward to 2020. Friend B is all over FB talking about how if you’re out of the house and getting Covid you are taking a bed in the hospital from someone who really needs it. Selfish, Trump-supporter, killing people, irresponsible, etc. and so on.
