#4 Bullshit numbers.
Inconsistent, incoherent metrics.
False positive & false negative rates for testing that make it no better than a coin toss.
Zero correlation between timing or extent of lockdowns and # of fatalities.
Mass fatalities due to gross government incompetence by the virtue-signalers.
Constant moving of the goalposts by the lockdown fanatics.

A world in ruins, two or more generations' hopes and health destroyed, chaos anarchy and civil war looming -- because of yet another annual Chinese flu bug.

Utter madness.

Absolute, suicidal insanity

#11 Confucius say, "Entails of bird'll
Show ancestors' minds very fertile,
But man who rob coop
Sometimes make eggdrop soup.
I prefer using shell of a turtle."
