A veritable Schrödinger box of contradictory opinions. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

Further lock-downs, harsher restrictions and more widespread testing (schools) to help further inflate the numbers of this perpetual boogeyman. You'll be begging for the needle. 👍 So sick of mainstream media lies. Just f*ck off. We don’t believe in this scam anymore (well I never did).
