Hey I had COVID and I am 20 year old, I had serious fever for two days and in that moment I understood the gravity of the situation. I can easily imagine how people who are 50 struggle with it and people older than that can definitely die easily. It is a no joke and needs to be taken seriously.

Sure. So no different than the flu or a rough cold.

Those are, and have been for all of humanity, an accepted part of life. Never until this year was it even suggested that you shut-down all of society over it, or that by having a cold you're inadvertently murdering people if you don't quarantine yourself. And that's very much the way the narrative is going. Someone I know at upenn has to provide proof of a flu shot to receive their degree this year. That's insane, and clearly an effort to pretend it's normal to treat the common flu the same way we're expected to treat COVID19.

I agree with you but I think there is no great conspiracy behind it. Just a human error. In the first days, maybe January, nobody really had any data on how deadly is the virus. The theory was it could be even 20%, which would be catastrophic to our society. So with that mindset everybody enacted drastic measures (I am talking about the world, dunno much about US). Also you need to realize that normal flu does not overflood the hospitals with patients. Almost every country in Europe is building field hospitals because of overflooded hospitals. Flu does not do that.

Depends what you think is a "great" conspiracy. To say COVID19 wasn't politicized to the most extreme extent possible by democrats, it's just bonkers. It's literally the how and why of democrats winning the election. Both tanking the economy and the mail in voting. Neither of which would not have been acceptable had the left collectively not pretended COVID19 was far worse than it was.

We knew by April that it wasn't as bad as the media and the left was claiming, and the evidence of that was being censored.
