Retired healthcare worker here. The COVID-19 virus is real and I've actually lost 2 friends to it. HOWEVER, it's been weaponized for political purposes! This doesn't make it any less real, but it raises the question of who has the most to gain from the panic? There's a lot of evidence to suggest that, as COVID-19 washes through the population, it may be weakening. Most pandemics eventually burn themselves out. This happened with the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, but many people still died. We may be getting closer to herd immunity than we think. I don't know, but just thought I'd throw this out there.
