Never forget, all we needed was 2 fucking weeks.
Heaps of countries basically had a good lockdown and then had no COVID until delta. Imagine going through most of 2020-2021 with no COVID fears as you did it right from the start.
Remember all those pictures from China where people were rocking out at water parks and concerts because they had a real, functioning country?
I remember seeing the pictures of food and care supplies delivered directly to their homes. It's really fucking sad to think about: looking at the people in other countries and wishing you lived in a place that would tap into resources when a disaster happened.
The propaganda machine is so strong here in the US. You actually believe in social contracts to be upheld by a country that to this day has never offered reparations for slavery.
Of course a country that fought so hard to exploit people would never turn around and then give back.
