I've heard people ask "Will all of this go away after the election," and we're seeing the same hysteria over COVID-19 in places like Canada and VIC, Australia, so my gut response would be 'no' ...
But you cannot deny there is an extreme US-centric political angle to this; especially when you see stuff like this getting pulled or "fact checked" on major media platforms (who have shown their political colors).
Maybe the American Media Propaganda machine is just bleeding out into the rest of the world? I cannot say, but I do think that COVID-19 is a case of mass hysteria, possibly the largest we've ever seen.
I do not deny many have gotten sick and died, but I also think this is nowhere near as bad as people are making it out to be. The elderly should have been protected. The rest of us should have been allowed to make our own choices about risk. And the "long COVID" stories might be true or might be purely psychological.

This is not a time of honor.
