It's not Gotham City; it's Disease Vector City and it's been that way for centuries now. (...doing time in the DVC...)
It's bad enough that the "experts" sold the lie of flattening the curve for a virus that spread months earlier but why would so many "civilians" believe the flattening lie?
These "experts" get paid to lie, not that it makes it excusable, but individuals have a responsibility to seek reason .
Bingo!...... My hypochondriac ex wife made my son wear a mask back in January on the subway and to basketball games..... He was pretty much the only one I saw wearing a mask..... Then little-by-little, by late February, a few more people were wearing masks on the subway..... Now everybody’s walking around New York with a mask..... Way way way too late..... My ex has a lot of underlying conditions.... she and my son have not left their apartment in 6 weeks..... They both felt horrible for the first few weeks.... I’ll bet anything they had it and got over it..... and yes, you can have a lot of health problems and still be a hypochondriac too..... being a hypochondriac doesn’t mean you’re imagining health problems that don’t exist, it means you are obsessed with your own perceived frailty
Because most “civilians” are as dumb as a bag of hammers.
