In fact, I haven't even heard of anyone that has had it or even tested positive.
For that reason it is extremely difficult for me to believe there isn't some sort of political motive involved. Particularly because we have never reacted to any of the other pandemics in recent history like this. But I still wear a mask and sanitize my hands when in public, just in case I am wrong.....

The death or two is now over 140K.
Remember this virus came out of nowhere it did not exist last year and there is no historical data on what medication controls it and there is no vaccine. We took worst case scenario which IMO was the right thing to do.
