1. It doesn’t exist anymore
  2. It does exist, but it’s just another flu-like virus
  3. It’s much worse than the flu, but it only affected other people so far, so it won’t affect me

ample evidence exists to prove all 3 wrong

oh yea, the exotic chud response which they’ve conveniently memoryholed:
4) covid is fake and never existed

      I remember when news of the virus had just spread to Europe and some people immediately claimed it would only effect asians. Very normal brain activity

      I have a normies sentiment like your dad. I’ve seen a few posts on Lemmy about covid cases in the US but haven’t heard about the cases in Europe. I’m sure they exist though, just not talked about
