    Brilliant advice, moron. Let's regress further to the schoolyard taunt of "I know you are but what am I." That one was contemporary to your childhood, wasn't it?

    I notice you're not even bothering to deny the fact that the COVID-19 lockdown was imposed by Boomers to protect Boomers. Maybe the Boomers should stay home themselves instead of forcing everyone to stay home, hmm? Maybe the Boomers wrecked the entire economy because the consequences don't affect them personally, hmm?

    Never mind. You're too stupid to understand the situation. Vote Trump!

    The lockdown was to prevent overwhelming the medical system. I guess 100K is not enough for someone a despicable as you.
