It has brought no innovation, no creativity. It has only brought deliberate SUPPRESSION. It has turned Hollywood into a bunch of amateurs blogging from their cell phones. Athletics have been shut down. You can't even go to church, and those in the media even blame church for spreading this disease. Government picks and chooses what kind of businesses are allowed to operate. You can't get a haircut. You can't even go to a dentist. Schools are closed. Elections are suspended. Friends can't see each other. A police state roams the streets vowing to fine anyone who dares spend time with more than one other person.
All under the premise that this will slow the spread of the disease. Yet new cases continue to climb, a month after social distancing cut 80% of human contact in this country, a number that was said to be enough to stop this. THIS. IS. NOT. WORKING.
In war and depression we were allowed to see our loved ones in person! We were allowed to work together! At least we had each other, and the government has torn that from us this time! That's what makes this so heinous. They are trampling on free religion, right to assemble, the legislative process, and so much more. The government response to this virus is tearing apart the social fabric of this country and the world.
That's why this must stop at the soonest possible time. We are trading a physical health crisis for a mental health crisis, and it hasn't even stopped the physical crisis. The Chinese Communists are laughing as we now live like them, and we all know that the government is not going to give up the power it has seized for itself without a fight.
We’re on the same page here.
We have politicians like Cuomo offering up medical opinions at the top of every news hour, and on the other side, we have medical experts opining on matters of state. But both with the same underlying theme: you’re all gonna die if you don’t do as we say. I got an idea, why don’t both stay in their own lane.
Which brings me back to my central question. Why are we treating this particular viral outbreak differently than nearly all prior outbreaks?
My answer is simple. It’s because Donald Trump is president, this is an election year, and all past attempts by democrats and their media bed-buddies to depose him have failed.
We are living an overreaction fueled by politics.
