I am not joking.

I just shake my head and change the subject. Like your friend, he's taking precautions. He believes the virus is real but somehow it got released in the US on purpose for the soul reason to destroy DJT and kill off Republicans.

He reads and listens to a lot of crap online believing it to be "real" news while media is just cover up.
