        Funny thing about that. Viruses don’t care if you do or do not talk about them. Good luck with your denialism. Did you know that practically every respiratory infection has some form of post acute syndrome?

          I used to wear masks and I even got a booster shot. It’s not like I don’t believe the virus is dangerous.

          At the end of the day, though, the lockdown’s effect on the world was much bigger than the virus’. Everyone has had COVID a few times by now and the world has moved on… But a lot of people got unemployed and everything got more expensive. Now everyone’s quality of life is still down years later.

            Your opinion is common, and incorrect. And you can change your opinion, if you wish to inform yourself. It’s not my job to convince you.

    The extreme measures during COVID were unnecessary and just made it worse and more difficult to contain, if they weren’t such idiots they could have told people to wear masks for additional safety to protect themselves from infection but they aren’t mandatory, it’s simple psychology, give people a choice and they’ll accept it more easily, however they choose the dystopian approach and people fought back, escalating an already difficult situation.

      ‘Wear a mask for everybody’s sake’
