What's this?

I think that is extremely naive. It became a pandemic because it was very

Contagious. This virus was going around the world regardless of our politics or any other countries politics. We were never shutting this down whether the entire country wore mask or not until we had sufficient herd immunity be it through natural exposure or a vaccine. I know this pisses some people off but as bad as the COVID virus is, it still has only killed .18% of the USA’s population in totality & by far most of those people were very old or had serious comorbidities. Those people usually aren’t far from dying anyways. That’s the facts, no matter what the fear monger's say.
