Evil conveniently never harms other evil things.

I swear not a single (primary) country leader died during covid. Even fat kim jong-un somehow made it out alive. Granted it wasn't a particularly lethal virus, but man it would have been satisfying to see some dictators kick the bucket.

How many primary country leaders are there?

Here's a list of notable people, mostly politicians, that died of covid. It's quite long.

Just look at the ages as you scroll down. They're mostly all 70 plus, people that age are looking for an excuse to die.

A virus cannot be evil, a virus is just a virus. But, I get your sentiment.

Odd how I've lost so many friends (in the mutiples of 10, dont care to count exactly)to an opiod crisis not worth doing anything effective about, but they blew the entire economy over a cold that hasn't killed anyone I know in 4 provinces and 3 states (was a trucker, know people everywhere, lived in 3 provinces and one state). tHats aNEcdoTAl tHoUgH

I'm sorry you've lost so many friends.

It fucking sucks. Yeah I used to like to party, but backed the hell off in like 2016 when it became clear everything was tainted. Been watching my old friends that wouldn't/couldn't, die ever since.
