People die all the time from choices! Every damn day, many times, made by horrible choices.
Nobody is saying the damn virus doesn't exist or it was some lab created bio weapon. Leave that for the shock jocks like Alex Jones. They're shady used car salesmen. No different than a mega church televangelist.
It's just now the overwhelming majority of people on this forum and earth for that matter, literally parrot mass media talking points, which are nothing more than mouthpieces for...government. No critical thinking. Just instant obedience, regardless of the issue. Truly, there are people on this forum, viewing this exact post who have no problem with riots happening the entire year, during the same f***ing pandemic you are all screaming about? Sates and cities doing absolutely nothing. Allowing it to happen for months on end. The very cities where the hardest restrictions have been placed? Does nobody critically think anymore?
But all of a sudden, in 2020, we're supposed to be driven into mass hysteria and fear because there is a virus that is going to infect roughly 2% of the world's population and kill a fraction of a single percent. I can't imagine how people survived the Spanish flu which literally infected 1/3 of the world's population and killed as many as 60 million, but now I have to listen to drivel about Covid being more deadly even though the numbers don't add up, and there was no mass international air travel in 1918.
Do people realize there are a million plus Muslims in the western reaches of China being genocided through forced sterilizations, and outright murder? I mean, who gives a shit about them right? It's on the other side of the globe. Muslims are smelly terrorists right?
How about the entire continent of Africa, a continent I've set foot on btw. I've seen the horrors a fraction of those people endure. There are homeless in the United States who would be considered wealthy in the worst parts of Africa. Speaking homeless, who's weeping? How many homeless do you pass by in the big city and don't even acknowledge their existence. Go watch Invisible People on Youtube. You think humanity and "society" is some grand achievement? Those videos beg the differ.
Most people are being driven by fear of death/unknown. And furthermore, this is just as important, only because it is impacting them directly rather than some distant land or people, which ironically is incredibly selfish. The outrage now, while many other humanitarian crisis have gone on largely unnoticed, infuriates me. The hypocrisy of the elected officials who are telling us where we can and can't go and what we must wear, arbitrarily btw, while many of those same officials skirt or outright ignore the very "orders" they hand down on a near daily basis, like some f***ing monarch, infuriates me.
I echo what
@ColePens said earlier. I myself don't go out much but when I do, mask up most times and always social distance. I'm not some asshole who's trying to scream about a retail store being closed. If you need to buy something, chances are you can do it online now. But I'm not a rube either and 2020 has outed a very large number of them.
That was the most animated she's been through all of the briefings.
