$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hen challenged with records of what they have said at the beginning of 2021 they will insist that it is not their voice, on films are impostors and materials are manipulated.
And why do you even care about that? Honestly.
I mean, the only thing you should be caring about when talking about the coronavirus is how to make sure that as few people it's reasonably doable get sick, at least until you are pretty sure that the virus has mutated to a form mild enough that people don't end up in the ICU. Don't tell me that there is some sort of trade-off between the economy and how many people get sick, because there isn't. Asian countries have proved conclusively that early, strong lockdowns not only reduce the number of sick people, they're also better for the economy in the long run, because they prevent later, longer lockdowns. So, if you care about anything but making sure that as few people as reasonably possible get sick till the disease is mild, you better make sure you have a damn good explanation for why could you possibly care.
Now, I am aware that some people say that there's been two pandemics going on at the same time: one of coronavirus and another of mental illness, possibly including psychosomatic illness, and the causes of the second are debatable. And maybe somehow the two of them got smashed together in some people's minds. Which would explain all those otherwise inexplicable obsessions on issues like the one you point out.
I suggest you seek help if you find yourself being obsessed about telling everyone about some issue that doesn't really matter, especially if it upsets other people. All right, I recognize I have just described most types of interest in politics as a mental health issue. If you think I'm wrong, convince me.

Sadly it does not work that way.
Billions will need to get it before a virus has such an opportunity to mutate.
If it is not transmitted, how can it mutate?
It is that simple.
If you want a virus to mutate faster into harmless form you should make your own contribution and just get it.

No lockdowns at all would be even more beneficial.
Economy would work normally while lots of of cripples with limited mileage left would just die off making an enormous favour for western ailing social security systems.
But perhaps in Asia perception is different because such social security systems don't exist there so all sort of cripples are not such a burden.

What, you figure America has grown a better batch of politicians when no one was looking, or are you just an eternal optimist?
No I think the American public is sick and tired of the jerks we have now and will not support or vote for any less then a much better group.
If by "jerks we have now" means across the entirety of this century, then sure, I could go with that. But if it is specific to just the current brand of jerks, said jerks being in the same vein if by different mechanisms and mannerisms than the last administration of jerks, then you hopes are most likely to be in vain.
