Sure, I can pretend this for a while...
But here we are 3 years later.
I can pretend that I followed the media for my health decisions throughout 2020…I didn’t, because none of what they were saying and showing was actually playing out.
People weren’t collapsing in the streets.
All of those temporary hospitals and beds that were created went unused…still be stored for a Hefty Taxpayer Fee, from what I’ve been able to figure.
