I don't know if that's their main objective or not, but as an older person, I damn sure don't appreciate being put in precarious situations because we have dumbasses in charge.

To cut us off from the WHO would be like not wanting the best heart surgeon to do surgery on you because you didn't like brown hair. The stupidity is just astounding. Of course, they'll all have a ballroom with an underground bunker and a bio containment unit, I'm sure.

Assholes.
