This thing's a monster. All who have at any time dismissed or underestimated through their ignorance the effects of this virus need to be called out. This includes 'leaders' around the world more concerned with their electability and with maintaining their personal wealth than with their respective public's health.

And it even includes social media posters, be they paid employees of a state, paid employees of an organization or just a volunteer indie. Each in these categories has contributed to feeding this monster.
