Remember when Biden mentioned twice 'dark winter' during the debate?

True that smallpox was used for that. But it was a response test that could be applied to any bioterror attack using an airborne infectious disease (like COVID).

Ok, so it looks like Biden was right about this winter. We might have all been able to deduce the current crisis, but he did say it before anyone on the right would ever acknowledge it. Perhaps he’s smarter than we thought.

Yes, but this past summer people were inside more because people were encouraged to be "safe at home" by the government. If people behaved as they did during summer of last year would the virus still be around during this past summer as much as it was?

There are several treatments now if you get sick and a miniscule chance of dying. There will be vaccines for the vulnerable people. Enjoy your life and don't give in to media manipulation tactics. Unless you like being a shut-in.
