I live in a state that is currently surging in new cases, with local hospitals daily giving press conferences saying "We're at 90% capacity, wear a damn mask!"

I know people who have had Covid, as well as I know people who have had family members die from it.

Do governments lie to people? Yes, on the daily. Has the government ever returned any freedoms that they suspended due to 'security concerns', no.. not in my lifetime.

But to sit back and claim "Its all a Hoax", as in "There is no such thing as Covid" is ignorant, irresponsible, and small minded. Anyone who feels this way simply should take the initiative to meet with someone who has lost a loved one to Covid, look them deeply into their grief stricken eyes, and tell them to their face that their tears are "fake" and "its all a hoax". I doubt anyone making these claims has the character to do so.
