I won’t downplay Covid’s seriousness; I lost family to it. But the absolute piece of garbage who governs my state (Virginia) would be happy to pay people to sit in their blanket forts forever. Let people do what they need to do, get vaxed or not, wear masks or not. It’s up to them. But DeSantis is right. Businesses are suffering because people don’t have to leave home for a paycheck and it’s way past time to stop.
People die of the flu every year.
