The US never really took COVID seriously
- Oh fuck off
  
  Nikkei Asia, a Japanese business news organization, did a COVID recovery index and the US did not perform well. The results prove my claim, but anyone who experienced COVID in the US knows my claim is true.
  
  1.2 million dead before they stopped counting
At the Olympics, much like in other sports and at work and schools, Covid is treated like other respiratory illnesses.

That kinda says it all. Not sure why this is such a riot.
- because it's fucking ridiculous to treat covid like we do the common cold. obviously.
  
  Oh I understand you feel that way, and that’s fine. But there are rules at the Olympics and these are the rules.
  
  Not everyone feels that is so clearly ridiculous. As I said, most places on earth treat it as the common cold nowadays.
