When this is all sorted out and we have the spare test kits and a couple years to monitor COVID-19, we're going to find that infected virtually everyone and it has a mortality rate close to the common flu of about 0.1%.

So, once again, we are penalizing predominantly conservative fly-over citizens to protect the urban mostly left. Thanks, Chinese Virus.
