I think i know how you would answer my poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/19615654/r
LoL. I already took it. I think I am in the majority there.
Haven’t you heard? The virus can just show up anywhere with or without a vector. I’m telling you that each day the media invents more horseshit about how it can be transmitted and it’s immortality. They are doing this to maintain their control and ruin our economy.
Much of the media will find that distressing. Need to keep the hysteria going. Soon deaths will be attributed even more indirectly to Covid-19, from drug overdoes (self-medication) to falls and car accidents (impaired judgment), but not to the economic and social effects of the "do not touch your (radioactive) face," "shelter in place for weeks," "be very afraid" response.
"Emergency: Everybody to get from street/striet!"
27 feet now. ICBM: Intercommunal ballistic mucus.
But i do have empathy to those who are very sick by it, and it is the extreme fear and measures that i see as unwarranted and more harmful in the long term.
Death will happen though we should try to delay it, and as said, where we will spend eternity is most imprtant. May all repent and believe
