When covid started and seeing news reports of many people dying I was so scared. They had no idea what it was then or any infection vectors. I recall seeing something from Italy and it was horrific. This was maybe early spring late or winter 2020 (maybe I got the country wrong but I don't think so). Anyone who could have seen that and not understood what that means has no right to an opinion on the impact of viruses or on how a society needs to be run. Mean didn't NYC have freezer trucks at one point?

Man we have degenerated as a society to let that happen in the world's strongest military power (mean we can't all have the propaganda might Russia does). But sure let's give the person who did the worst a welcome mat to the Presidential position again. Ugh I thought we could have learned better.

I am not American but understand the impacts the orange dictator does in his name (only say it that way cause his brain is no better than potato salad, fuck project 2025 and Miller).

But long but this whole world situation is very frustrating. Like it's right there for everyone to see but let's blame neighbors not the people who've been in charge.

Edit forgot to add, as scared as I was I made a decision to do the best for my household, when reccomdations came through I followed them as best I could. I wanted to make sure the people I cared about were safe. It's a shame that many of the people who figured that out are shunned these days.

Yeah, it was Italy. It's was so fucked to follow that shit in real time.

I'm not American either. Anti-vaxxers and covid-deniers sadly exist outside of America too. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

There are and it's so mystifying. I have no idea how someone could experience that in real time and not get it. Mean I sort of get it but it's one of those things that make my brain want spring out of my head when I do try., like a divide by 0 or segmentation fault.

Oh well not like we are trying to make our planet liveable for the future. Mean I got no kids but I sure want the human race to continue comfortably.If not well maybe it'll be time for Super Mario Bros the movie timeline, reptiles will take over against b. Oh hey it works, we burned up the oil anyways so that's why they're electric (in the movie)
