That was the reason for the lockdown, but people have forgotten that. Mission accomplished, now it is time to move on.

Thank you. Nice to see that someone actually gets it. Doctors have said that the same amount of people are going to get this virus. All we did was spread it out. You can’t stay locked in forever. You can’t wear a mask forever. This virus is no different than the other flu type viruses that are out there every year. We now know that the mortality rate of this is going to be the same as the flu in the end. To me from what we know now, this whole thing was unnecessary and a total paranoid overreaction with a lot of unnecessary damage done.
