I had an extended conversation with a person today who had some interesting theories about our current situation. He was a working class, right-leaning guy who saw the pandemic as an excuse for the government to take more control of people's lives.
He didn't deny that the pandemic was real. His thesis was that the government and media have blown it all out of proportion to the real threat. It is all a scare campaign get people to do whatever they were told.
I had to agree with him on a lot of points. It does seem that every death is now a Corvid Death no matter what the pre-existing conditions were.
Wearing a mask is probably helpful but certainly not the way a lot of people use them. They wear them all askew so that they can breathe which renders them completely useless. I don't see the news media exhorting people to wear their masks correctly.
Articles are constantly publishing big numbers of infections and deaths but don't put those numbers in context. What were the demographics of those people. Did they have other conditions that contributed to their demise? How many people died of drug overdoses during the same period? How many died in auto accidents? who really cares how many people died in Germany or Russia, how many died in my home town?
I've known several people who have caught the virus and they've all recovered. All of them agree that it was a horrible three days of misery but they are not only back to normal, they are immunized for the next year. However, they still have to wear a mask because they might be a carrier!
Ignoring these questions and classifying these people as ignorant only inflames the conspiracy theories and leaves us wondering what the truth really is.
In the end we did agree that it was definitely a conspiracy by the Plexiglas manufacturers that is behind all this.
