For the first 2 months, they claimed the IFR was going to be as high as 4%. So many freepers believed it and berated the skeptics among us, wished we’d die a painful death because we weren’t “looking out for them.” I can never forget or forgive the freepers who refused to think for themselves, in addition to letting out their inner Nazis.
It was truly amazing how quickly people turned on each other. It even split up families. The nation became a much angrier and more hostile nation- all over a virus with a near 100% survival rate
Re: 10 - You are correct. In the “early days” of COVID-19, there were FReepers that were criticizing people for going too far away from home, even on a walk, There were also multiple FReepers that were wiping down mail or letting it sit for days even after early research showed that any SARS-CoV-2 virus was below a non-detectable level after 1 day on paper, etc. And then there were the masks. FTR I believe that masks help with minimizing particle protection that results from coughing or sneezing, and can help train people from touching their hands to their mouth and nose - but that’s it.
