Also would have accepted the meme with the Muppet like puppets being asked "and what did we learn?' and they all scream "Nothing!!"

I wonder if it would've been on net better if COVID had been deadlier. Like if people had been dying from a new disease with blood gushing out of their eyes, would idiots have taken it seriously? Probably not.

I think Covid was right in the bad spot of seriousness. If it was less deadly, it would be less of an issue. If it was more deadly, it would have been taken more seriously. But it was right at the point that people could say ehhhhhh (encouraged by their media of course).

Although I'm still amazed over a fucking million Americans dead and people are acting like it didn't even happen.

*US 1,180,025 deaths. Worldwide 7,037,007 deaths.
