Shocked at this Covid Report, lads. I thought they’d done ok.

I mean, they did put the economy above public health and then ended up fucking the economy anyway, and there was the flagrant corruption and the seemingly endless avoidable death, but otherwise…pretty good?

GOVERNMENT MESSAGE. BLAME IT ON:
The unprecedented circumstances.
The science.
The scientists.
The media.
The left.
The moonlight.
The good times.
The boogie.

DON’T BLAME IT ON:
The sunshine.
The staggering government complacency, incompetence and mendacity.
