so you’re saying that any person who commits a crime, should not be held accountable for his crime, & not have to face any justice for his crime - all in the name of unity & healing ?

How about we push back all future Olympics by 4 years ? This means 2024 will be Tokyo, 2028 Paris.
This would be a win-win for everyone.

Settle down folks & lets put things in perspective.
Every year, roughly 600,000 people die due to the seasonal flu. So 2 million for a ‘pandemic’ ain’t too bad.
And let’s not forget the Spanish flu which killed up to 50 million people.
