My cousin caught it, she’s fine now but says it was pretty rough for a few days. Fortunately she was able to recover at home.

A friend of mines son had it. He's in his late 20's and barely showed the symptoms.
Yes, it's out there. So are all the other viruses.
Yes, it's detrimental to the elderly and health compromised. So are all the other viruses.
What's the difference? In Nancy Pelosi's own words: "We'll get rid of Trump, one way or another".
We're being played America.

My kid tested positive last Thursday. She had a headache that would not go away and felt generally "blah." I tested negative before an emergency procedure just 2 days prior. My wife was tested the same time as my daughter just because she was there with her and tested negative. I had planned to go to Mecum Indy This week, but I cancelled the trip.

The demonrats absolutely hate Trump. Hell, most Canadians hate Trump too. Why? ****ed if I know. But the democraps hate Trump because he is not a politician. He is not a democrap. He's not one of them. Trump is a businessman. This country, any country, needs to be run as a business, and that is what Trump is doing. Trump is upsetting the apple cart, and the dems hate that Therefore, they are willing to stop at nothing, in order to get Trump out of office. That is what a lot of the scamdemic is all about.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 appears to be a political tool disguised as a virus.

They blocked people from travelling from the Wuhan district domestically, but let 20,000 per day fly through Hong Kong and then various international destinations like Italy, New York City, etc. 20,000 PER DAY for about two months. All the while having their WHO bought and paid for mouthpiece spewing lies to cover what was happening.

This actually took place, and the idea that China would **** over the entire world to have a chance to take down Trump/America is somehow too hard to conceptualize? For some I guess it is. China is asshole. They don't give a single **** about a human life here or really even in China. They have infiltrated social media companies like Twitter, Reddit, Google, etc to an extent that is absolutely terrifying (if you aren't communist that is.) The number of ways China could weaponize this sort of virus are endless, they really are.

He is trying to make our “allies” in Europe pay their fair share to defend their own countries. The don’t like that

Russia and China dislike him because he has imposed sanctions for their moves to subjugate other countries/territories. China has engaged in rampant intellectual piracy As well as human rights violations and he has taken action against it. They don’t like that

He has imposed sanctions on countries like Iran and Venezuela that are notorious human rights violators and fund global terrorism. They don’t like that.

Most of the countries complaining are ones we should just say STFU
