COVID at the beginning was a potential emergency. But we should have figured out quickly from the overwhelming scientific evidence that it wasn't actually an emergency, and lifted all restrictions.
Instead, we artificially turned it into an emergency by fucking up society – and the medical system – for political reasons.
Getting the psychopaths responsible for this out of society is it self an emergency. Because they're probably going to do it again; they already tried to before with the H1N1 fraud.
