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.

That is what colds do. Always. The entire US doesn't need to wear masks that do nothing because of it.

If efforts were put towards protecting the elderly/at risk (EI Free food delivery, sanitation, oxygen masks) instead of govt rights gobbling then I'd believe this was more than just the flu

I kind of think we should have been taking a lot of viruses and diseases a lot more seriously than we had been and hopefully this is a wakeup call. Things like herpes, the std, people think it's no big deal but maybe we socially distance from people that have it and not have sex with them, it causes mental problems. Also lyme. I think the elites would rather not make a big deal about a virus rather than make too big a deal. Now we are having vaccine shortages. I bet all the elites like governor of California already got the vaccine and that's why they're out partying all the time.

Possibly you're right. Just like dementia respiratory illnesses which kill the elderly have been seen as just a fact of life, sometimes even a positive.

Viruses are nasty. There's good evidence that most cases of schizophrenia are caused by virus infection, particularly among immigrant groups and people who have been travelling. Unfortunately this means it's not really PC to talk about.
