I was at the doctors yesterday. The nurse made a comment about how masks will be here for the foreseeable future. I told her I hated that masks and that it was foolish for everyone to wear masks in a county with only 12 active cases. She seemed unaware that the numbers were so low. I take it that most people are and that contributes to the panic.
Unfortunately, so many of even “us” here are quite happy to believe what Big Media excretes, especially if it doesn’t seem DIRECTLY related to politics.
