I Sometimes Wonder What the Hell Is Wrong With People

We the sheeple need to wake up. The media has created hype abt this coronavirus to scare everyone into obeying all the government restrictions that are getting worse and worse. They want to ruin the economy so people have to depend on them for survival. They want to control us, to what purpose I don't know.

You are American I guess... If you could, I'd tell you to pop over to Europe at the moment and see how much this thing is hype... Only you can't...because people are dying and they have closed the airports to protect people as much as they can...and people are still dying... When the death rate starts to double every three days in your State..then I suggest you start listening to the hype and start washing your hands and staying away from people... By the way.. I am not trying to control you, or ruin your economy...Trump is doing a really good job at both of those things already, so I'm happy to stand aside and let him... Please, take your own advice and wake up before it's too late...

@VictoriaU if the virus is allowed to run rampant it appears maybe 5% of the population could die a few years early. Most of those are older, like me,or have health issues already. Is extending those lives a few years worth destroying the world economy? That's what's happening.

@xp47rb Ah, the ‘tar pits’ argument... once people have reached an age that is beyond the useful working age for the good of the wider community, then they should be pushed into the tar pits and left to die, releasing the community of their burden.. An interesting thought, and if you are volunteering then I would only advise having a second thought... I do understand your argument, however the virus itself hasn’t listened to the narrative that it only kills the old and infirm.. In the UK we have had victims of 40 years old, and I am sure that this has been repeated on main land Europe to.. When the banks destroyed the economy, the world governments raced to bail it out...a virus destroys the economy and we should defend it by letting people die?.. Poor people, obviously.. the ones with no health insurance... not the wealthy though.. that would never do...

@VictoriaU for some reason common sense has disappeared on this issue. Is it better to lose 5% of the population or to destroy the world's economy and impoverish 85% of the population? For some reason the past 30 years or so it's become common for tail to wag the dog.
