To specific populations, Covid can be deadly. Obesity, diabetes, and other conditions make it quite dangerous for those people.
My contention is that taking down an entire economy and society (including school children) on a virus that has already escaped containment is folly to the point of intentional maliciousness for a virus with this mortality rate.
“...intentional maliciousness for a virus with this mortality rate.”
I think by now whether they would admit it or not most everyone knows the handling of this virus was purely political.
