I don't understand why you would make this joke.

Is this story a political talking point in the US or something? It just sounds super sad to me.

Covid denialism, etc etc. 99.9% chance that these women were hardcore in the Q bubble.

Oh I see, thanks for explaining.

The articles I read made it sound like the mother had always been a bit of a loner, so it reminded me more of the deaths of Timothy Treadwell (Grizzly Man) or Christopher McCandless (Into the Wild).

Things over there seem really polarized, even worse than here.

You are correct, the person you're responding to is jumping to conclusions with no evidence.

There's nothing in the article stating such. Just that one of the women had become fearful of the world because of COVID.
