Right, my mask isn't to protect me, it's to protect you. Ya. Two weeks to flatten the curve, masks don't work, oh wait we changed our minds. Close the forests and oceans. Get the vax and you can't get covid. Booster one, two three......

We ain't playin that again.

Hmmm I’m not so sure. Having been back and forth between Europe and the USA the entire pandemic.

The most masking I’ve seen when I flew to Papeete from Nice (via stopovers in Paris and LAX) was LAX just now this July.

Love my governor! Go, Ronny D, go!
It's not fear when it's affecting people. Tell the families of the over 1M dead from Covid that it was just fear. My guess is they wouldn't believe you.

Again -- it is not one million dead FROM Covid; it is -- MAYBE -- one million dead WITH Covid. (Again, MAYBE -- I doubt it is nearly that high.)

But believe what you want.

The first 1/2 million number was pure speculation. Testing was barely a thing and everyone got Fed funding for writing CV 19 on a death cert that made it possible for the poor to cover funeral costs.

My dear sister-in-law is still grieving the tragic death of her brother FROM Covid. You can believe what you want.

I know enough people who have died or have been impacted with horrible health issues from Covid that I don't care what you call it.
