Thanks for the condescending remark. "they" = governments and corporate media. Obama throws a party and nobody is wearing masks. The Mayor of Washington DC ha

  Classic.. Effectively calling everyone else sheep and insulting their intelligence by accusing them of "obeying" some nameless cabal. Then turn around and claim to be condescended to. Doctors and epedemiologists are not Obama or Bill Gates or Nicole Kidman. I've never liked or respected any of those people in my life, and I'm not sure why you think they are inspiring "obedience." That's not where public health directives have been coming from. Over the last year, hundreds of communities around the world have enacted public health measures based on the imperfect but mostly best information known at the time that those decisions were made. "They" weren't listening to Obama, or the Mayor of Washington. Most of the world doesn't even live in the United States. It's only really in the US where this has been played as some sort of "right" / "left" partisan divide, too. My points still stand. Most of us have been acting in rational self-interest, not out of "obedience." You're the one being condescending.
