That has to be one of the saddest pictures I've ever seen!

The battle against Covid-19 is entering a new phase, and the choice for society is whether to live with the virus or to live for it. This new phase has been marked by four developments: Many states have weathered post-shutdown outbreaks and case counts are falling; the percentage of Americans saying the pandemic is worsening peaked in July and is trending down, according to Gallup polling; the culture wars over lockdowns and distancing mandates are cooling; and inexpensive rapid testing and a vaccine will soon be available widely. These developments create an atmosphere of possibility—and an opportunity to pivot away from the fear-fueled policy-making that has characterized the pandemic.
Policies forged in fear and panic have wrought tremendous damage in exchange for benefits that were attainable at a much lower cost. Over the past six months, we have managed to sow vicious conflict over health mandates among people who would otherwise be cordial; erode age-old social customs, like visible smiles and human touch, which are critical to social cohesion and personal well-being; and condemn millions of Americans to financial instability, depression and even domestic violence.
The collective goal of this new phase should be to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. When faced in March with the choice between imposing limited shutdowns to buy hospitals time and increase capacity, and enormous, indefinite shutdowns that ignored societal and economic costs, most political leaders chose the latter. When faced in May and June with the choice between embracing policies that balanced Covid-19 prevention with the activities that give life meaning and policies that sowed distrust and stirred fierce passions over civil liberties, most political leaders chose the latter. We have the opportunity to choose differently this time.
Some signs point toward institutions shifting away from fear-fueled decision making.

Understandably we did not know what we were dealing with, I said it from the get go this was an engineered virus put upon us by China, a bio weapon. That being said we now know who is vulnerable no thanks to the scumbag media hysteria working along side the rats to harness more control. If you think for one minute there isnt a thread connecting china, the rats, the deep state, the election and the globalists dream of a new world order your are wrong my friend. Its real and its time we not just push back but destroy it where it stands once and for all.

“We” did not have the choice. We wont have a choice in the future either. These decisions which became mandates were forced on us by dictatorial politicians.
They will never relinquish the power that was so stupidly given to them by the fearbros and Karens.
Governments Will Impose New Covid-19 Lockdowns If They Think They Can Get Away with It!
This just sends chills up the back of my neck and made the hair on my arms stand up!
I have some African DNA, which meant that those ancestors were slaves. Any documentation shows that they and their descendants were Free Slaves by the 1700’s.
At one time some of my ancestors were slaves or indentured servants.
