Remember a couple of minutes ago when the world shut down because we were woefully unprepared for a pandemic?

This is a smart money saving measure, theres no way a pandemic can happen twice.

You kidding? The Trump regime was rooting for the virus initially because it was killing "liberals". Then they realized it was killing more of their supporters.

Don't be mistaken - this is meant to kill people. This is an attack on every man, woman, and child in the US.
