That's what rubs me the wrong way: A small, scared and sometimes misinformed subset of the population is continuing to spread fear.
In the olden days these folks were limited in the way they spread their fear. To their family, to their neighbors, but no further. But now they can fuel the anxieties of others will simultaneously to justify their position by posting on the internet - a medium that reaches billions.
Another aspect is that so many people profit from this. Celebrities big and small use it for attention. The media does what it can to get eyeballs. Joe Keyboard gets dopamine hits from the upvotes he got on his IG post that was grandstanding about the virus. Even me right now as I type this.
Stop the fear spreading. Take away all of the dumb unnecessary "safety" features (1 way shopping isles anyone?). Let people CHOOSE to go outside or inside, to work or not to work, to wear a mask or not to wear a mask.
That's all I'm lookin for. You want to be scared? Be scared but don't impose your beliefs (your fears) on me or others. Let US choose, not a small loud mob.
