the thing is the US never actually had a lockdown? lots of countries had intense restrictions on movement and we... never did. 4,000 people died yesterday and there are no restrictions at all! so what are these folks in DC protesting exactly
"covid panic" "profiting off fear" "liberals want to prolong the pandemic" 4,000? people? died? yesterday? yesterday. 4,000 people.
i think @pareene as usual put it most eloquently:
"As usual in the United States, the people who won the political argument are now complaining the loudest that they’re dissatisfied with the results, and, apparently, it’s all the fault of the losers." theap.substack.com/p/were-all-try…
the country has even stoppped any pandemic aid to families! or anyone! 4,000 people died yesterday.
