    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.

      Considering the US is the highest polluter per capita in the world (by a country mile), this just sounds like a good thing. Now we just need nature to take its course.

      To be brutally honest, I’m sure there is a lab somewhere cooking up a new virus that will be even harder to fight off.
      Once the CDC guardrails are completely gone, said virus is ‘accidentally’ released, killing off countless people who are unable to defend against it.
