Are you kidding? Everybody knows that COVID is the most deadly disease since the Spanish Flu! People who have had it can get it again, people who get vaccinated can get it anyway, it mutates to multiple more deadly and more virulent strains, it causes cytokine storms, it kills people with multiple and seemingly unlimited causes. People who go into the hospital with COVID are 95% of the fatalities, people who have other health problem s are 91% of the fatalites, people over 80 are 50% of the fatalities. It is serious stuff!

On the plus side, it has cured the flu and a lot of other seasonal diseases like the common cold and RSV.

“On the plus side, it has cured the flu and a lot of other seasonal diseases like the common cold and RSV.”

Yes but???
This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day. On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than nonsmokers.

They still sell cigarettes but you have to wear a mask???

Forget the F’n masks, ban the cigarettes!!!
