Yep. That’s essentially what I have been saying from the beginning, but most is my family, friends and coworkers were so desperate for it to be real that it became pointless to discuss it any further. I guess that’s what happens when people are consumed with tv shows like the Walking Dead or they take the opinions of politicians and billionaires as gospel.
As a side note, I recall somebody posting on FR a couple of months ago arguing it was a fake pandemic. He/she got flamed by most FReepers. His / her last comment was always: “Just because you want something to be true doesn’t make it true.”
Just because you want something to be true doesn’t make it true.”

Good post .True story, My younger wife listened to the fake news for months, endless fear being peddled, her mental health deteriorated to a degree our kids started asking “ what happened to Mom”? I had enough, I cancelled our Cable, no more CNN, MSNBC, no more misinformation and fear peddling. Her Covid fear has now subsided after a few months of no TV, but my kids are now on me to get cable back,,,,,No way, ever again.
