You're absolutely right, we should never be in a public area again in our lives. Even though we have 3 jabs and masks. Can never be too safe, in fact I'm thinking of buying a bubble to roll around in so I can limit my exposure to this deadly flu 😷🤧 stay covid safe, inject, isolate, and watch propaganda daily. 💉ðŸ¦
