If you don’t close borders, this is what you get. Import as many cases as you want. At the end of the day, tell us what your intentions were. However, know that you are killing this poor, medicineless country. Anthu oyipa inu.

When it’s mild,it takes two weeks to get healed.If it’s more than mild it can take up to six weeks even more.It depends on how strong is your immune system.Some people are increasing their natural immunity by taking flu immune booster, just to increase fighting soldiers in your body.Take care of yourself.
