Young people can still be intubated, taking resources from older people who need them to survive. They can still kill their family. The loss of just one loved one without a goodbye is devastating. Also, for the young, long-term complications resulting from neuroinflammation and clotting could be permanent/chronic. I myself have a chronic condition. It’s no joke.

This isn’t the flu. It’s a hemotological and neurological sarbecovirus, studied in full BSL-3 conditions precisely because of the combination of virulence, asymptomatic transmission, and long incubation. If COVID-19 isn’t a bioweapon, it might as well be.

Americans need to relearn science-literacy, and duty to one another. What we have seen lately borders on natural selection at the civilizational level.
