as you say, there are several; I can buy that for the most part they are sincere in their belief that the virus constitutes an existential crisis, however, there are one or two whose motives I doubt...if they were sincere, then upon hearing that a certain country was attempting to weather the crisis without draconian lockdowns, they should have been supportive of that, and hoping for that country’s success; but when some bad news came from that effort, one of these posters rushed to this website to proclaim the disappointment, and to all intents and purposes seemingly reveling in it...this disturbed me...
