We Have Become A Nation Of Old Ladies

Remember when you were a kid and you could give a shit about disease? We played in fucking knee deep mud and drank from a garden hose.
We survived. And our parents didn't give a shit.

They did. But they knew that what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

But there was always that one kid whose Mom was over informed about everything and thus made her child the target for ridicule because they were scared at the universe.
We'd mock those people mercilessly. Because, we were dumb. And that was okay, because being dumb/ignorant is somehow, I think, better for your existence than scared rabbits. Which, somehow, we've become.

As of today 675,000 people have died from AIDS crisis. 13,000 die each year still. Yet, when that came out we were afraid, but eventually people told you to calm the fuck down and stop picking on gays. Most were needle junkies and so forth. They were VERY vocal about protecting that class. Like lepers. We still mocked them, but whatever. What's funny is that the very same people who told us we had nothing to fear about that crisis (and yes, it was labeled that) tell us to be VERY afraid of each other in 2020. Does anyone remember being afraid of SARS or MERs or H1N1. I remember making fun of it.

Now, my theory is that we already know too much and think we're informed. The problem with the internet is everyone is an expert and there are facts. Generally speaking. But we aren't all the same. Well, we are and we aren't. We will catch a flu, or a cold. And sore throats and sickness and so forth. That's normal. But our lifestyle and genetics somehow do come into play here. Our mindset always needed to be changed to being a little more courteous to others ANYWAY. You fucking rude idiots who cough without covering your mouth and then throwing a fit when you are called on it...learn a fucking lesson. The rest who grew up with manners about being mindful of others...gold star for you.

Unless the government isn't going to fess up and tell us this is man made and nature won't take its course, I'm a little baffled as to why theorist are being silenced. They've been closing down videos such as the one called "Plandemic" which alleges a lot of conspiracies. So what? Lots of conspiracies. Why censor that one. I watched the video and it had some interesting information. But it wasn't like I believed it all. And the lady doctor in it wasn't even talking about anti-vaccine. Which is what the people who criticize the video are claiming. In fact, she says she knows the facts about it, which is vaccines are a 50/50 chance. Like it is for the flu. And since these strains change every year, yes...she is correct, it's mildly effective.

But, why is it when they tell us NOT to panic over AIDS the very same people are telling us to panic over this. Either they know something they're not telling us or they're just old ladies who are scared of their shadow.

The thing I would've done is this...(again, under the information that is given), allow workers to work and practice distancing and good hygiene. Meanwhile, administer tests for it and anti-body test. Then separate it. With a shutdown, what we've essentially told people is that we have to be scared out of our minds over it. But, since it's a mystery, it seems being an old scared lady is the solution.

Live your life without fear. Otherwise, you die miserable anyway.
