Your Covid posts are fear porn at its worst.

The average US citizen (under age 75) is about as likely to die of Covid as they are to die in an auto accident.

Your Covid posts are fear porn at its worst.

Fear porn, really?

Like the signs at Yellowstone warning you not to go near bear dens in the spring?

Like the warnings to leave coastal cities when a hurricane is expected to make landfall in the area?

Like the road detour signs put up to route you around a collapsed bridge?

Like that kind of fear porn?

There is a huge difference between using bogeymen (like the white supremacists lurking behind every corner) to instill fear and obtain compliance and giving people an accurate assessment of a risk along with guidelines on how to mitigate it.

As of today, there are 439,536 people in the US dead from Covid-19, and the death rate rose again, to 1.686%. In the past 24 hours, 2,695 people died--this is more than die daily from abortion or heart disease (our previous #1 and #2 killers). Those dead people were real people who actually existed.

Until the pain associated with the accelerating degradation of the quality of life in middle class America exceeds the pain caused by the increasingly irrational fear of a disease with a 99.99 percent recovery rate, cowardice will reign in our country ... and that cowardice will be exploited by power- and celebrity-obsessed vile individuals until such time as former American "men" wake from their panic-induced stupor and put an end to this Liberty-destroying tyranny ... for the sake of their children if not for themselves.

There is no doubt as to the inevitability of that day of reckoning as the love of Liberty is inate as to American citizens -- more so than in any other country -- whether, in our year-long fearful state, we are aware of it or not.
