@w7voa but it's not time to talk about guns, onky thoughts and prayers and mental health, nothing we can do right? This sickens me every single day

@w7voa There is already a link between people with multiple #covid infections, cognitive decline and #dementia. Now researchers need to look into whether COVID may be a factor in this exponential increase in irrational #paranoia and deadly #violence. #guns #mentalhealth #nih #cdc #johnshopkins

Now, researchers need to look into the skyrocketing amount of irrational paranoia-fueled violence and see if there is also a connection.
