Who and the hell would travel! I am totally baffled!

Take that CDC.

Great, people are living their lives. The ones that want to self quarantine are doing great also. It’s called choice, freedom.

The propaganda news networks continue to try to instill fear on the population. Thankfully people are not afraid anymore of a virus that has a 99.99% survival rate. Kids need to be in school! Stop being afraid!

Enjoy your COVID pie!
