life there is normal. people are trying to claim this is causing a covid spike. it's not.
they look, gasp, just like every other country around them most of whom are locked down, masked, etc.

this is all known and knowable. none of this ridiculous epidemiological LARP that has cost $10 trillion globally has done anything except inflict harm.
all the longstanding guidelines told us not to do it.
