On February 29th, the USA saw it's first COVID-19 death and my God, we've lost so many since that day.
In the 33 days which have passed since that dark, dark day the United States of American has statistically seen 270,000 American deaths!!!! Granted only 5,700 of those, (a whole 2 percent!!!) were caused by COVID-19, but buy God every little bit helps so we all gotta give until we ain't got no more and then give some more. Right? Eff 'em, they must go out the goddamn window because: OMG, peeps be scared and we gott pander to it! The economy: Eff it! 2 percent of the deaths in this country outweigh the livelihoods of hundreds of millions! Dissenter: Eff 'em, shame them into silence and if that doesn't work, whine louder about them, call them names, treat them like pariahs because, as we all know, only the propagandized narratives are important now that we've embraced fascism and lives that must be driven by fear 24/7.
We've now established the simple fact that if this country ever has to deal with a real natural crisis (hint: this ain't it, not even remotely close) the nation will fold like an infant trying to square up against Mike Tyson in '88... because that's basically where we're at now, a collective of children begat from a nation that once had a spine and wouldn't have surrendered our rights and economy for anything, let alone a goddamned virus that produces symptoms identical to the common flu but must never be called the flu, lest the more astute amongst us realize it's a piss poor excuse to allow fascism and self effected mass poverty in this nation.

Just think, if you catch Covid-19 and knowingly go out. Lets say to see a loved one in a nursing home and you give it to them. They give it to everyone else in the home. Due to old age and other issues most are massively affected by it and a large % die
ITS OK BECAUSE OF FREEDOM!
I would rather sit this one out and so I am not responsible for damaging the health of loved ones and strangers because I fancied popping out like a moron
Let's just get on with living. This hysteria is not about a virus. It's about the globalist agenda of these technocratic control freaks. That is the real war we need to fight. Forget the virus. Fight these people that are coming to kill us all.
