Hmm? Let’s not cherry pick stats… So Covid is the new kid on the block, it has definitely caused its problems. HOWEVER, we seem to forget that the flu kills an average of nearly 1 million people world wide between its direct effects and its secondary infections, every year. Keep in mind, the flu doesn’t discriminate. It kills young, old, fat, skinny, healthy, sick etc. This is an ANNUAL reality and has been since we knew what the “flu” was. Here’s the problem.

I’m not going into that. The handling and fear mongering of this pandemic is shameful and staggering. Tragic as the pandemic has been, the effects of this, long term, far outweigh the damage the actual illness has done.
