That app is so ripe for abuse. I wonder how defamation laws might apply to it?

Break it off with a girl in a totally mature and unscandalous way because you don't really click? She can say anything she wants about you on that app and there's really no way to confirm or deny what she's saying in the public mind. It's like a whole new avenue for false misconduct allegations.

Reminds me of the Covid snitch list

It really was complete insanity. Or more like a mixture of insanity and stupidity.

The flu is like 80% as dangerous as covid, and is actually more dangerous for kids and healthy people than covid, but nobody ever acted like the sky was falling because you aren't wearing your "flu mask" when you go to the store. I understand the hysteria at the beginning, but after like August of 2020 it was just ridiculous to still be behaving that way.

Yeah I remember all the deaths from the Flu each year. It's crazy how many healthy people die from the flu each year.

Bro there were freezer trucks outside the hospitals because the fucking morgue was full in NYC.

My best friend was an ICU nurse during the start of the pandemic. Multiple times a week he had to hold up an iPad so that family members could say their goodbyes to someone with Covid.

The first death from covid in NYC was a healthy 39 year old.

The reason deaths went down is the vaccines came out.

No, this claim is not true. The first confirmed COVID-19 death in New York City occurred on March 13, 2020, when an 82-year-old woman with advanced emphysema succumbed to complications from the virus at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn.

You ever wonder if maybe all the other facts that made you come to the conclusion that covid was a death sentence are equally as false? I know they are now.

15,000 people died in April 2020 in NYC from Covid. In the first few days of the pandemic thousands of people died every day in NYC because of Covid. If it weren't for lockdowns many, many, many more would have died.

Yeah looking back its funny how unhinged we all were.

lmao for what, to avoid a cold.

I heard when you had to get intubated they basically were like, "fuck em kill em and give the bed to the next patient" and they would have been fine if they were never even intubated.
