MeillÀ Suomessa on tÀmÀ sama, paitsi ettÀ tehdÀÀn vasta sitten kun teho-osastot ovat tÀynnÀ, valmiuslaki kÀytössÀ ja hoitajat pakkotöissÀ. Ja sittenkin kun nÀmÀ kevyemmÀt toimet on otettu, otetaan maskit (ja vain kirurgiset!) suosituksena, ettei mene vain liioittelun/ylireagoinnin puolelle.

In contrast! Denialist life is easy in Finland! Just avoid reading and if you have to read, just misunderstand everything. Blame those who write about facts.
