I am so sick of still hearing how "Covid shut everything down" in 2020. No, it was not "the virus" that did it. It was governments doing it. And considering how much they lied about the supposed death numbers (dying "with Covid" is considered a "Covid death" even if the death was obviously not due to that) and many other things, it is quite clear that so many supposed issues were indeed avoidable. They merely wanted you to not rightfully blame them for screwing everyone over.
@houseoftolstoy The distinction is both valid and relevant.
