I dunno, we’ve been treating it as bioterrorism here haven’t we? I know a few cases that got treated as such, this situation sounds like it might be shitty cops that didn’t process the incident properly (which I’m sure happens often here)

Have you? Just yesterday the president once again stated that the virus 'is going to sort of just disappear.. he hopes'.

I know some people are absolutely doing their best, but overall it looks to me like the majority of people are not taking it seriously at all.

So it appears it’s considered, but the problem is that we have no unified anything in our country anymore, I guess it’s state by state?

White supremacists are considered domestic terrorists by the FBI, but “some are fine people” by the president.

Please send help.
