Villas - People act as if COVID is the first virus to ever land on humanity. I do not dispute that it caused and causes illness; to those with compromised immunity, it has been and can be fatal. However, people are losing all perspective with this virus. Elected officials have used it as an excuse to enact unconstitutional and anti-civil liberty orders. CDC recommendations have become de facto law. The mayor of Philly has cancelled the 2021 Mummers Parade. Sound fishy to anyone else?
