And there goes the bill of rights, out the window. That's what really bothers me about this -- our freedom is being eroded, in huge chunks.
Those freedoms are willingly being given away with the blind unthinking compliance that manifests itself into anger when others choose to take a step back and actually question things. Many have been convinced that anyone exercising autonomy is literally threatening everyone else's lives. "And besides," the angry thought goes, "I my life is being disrupted, then
yours shall be, too." People are taking their anger out on the only target that they can see. So neighbor turns in neighbor.
There is no skepticism on this.
There is no perspective on this.
There is no questioning why previous viruses that affected over 50,000,000 Americans was just another flu season, while this one that's infected under 1,500,000 has functionally given us Martial Law. That's 3% the number of cases today. The destruction started when we were well under 1%.
The number of deaths is
highly inflated. I've just read an article about a Colorado man who died of alcohol poisoning (twice the lethal limit in his system) being classified as
Dying of Virus. There was a woman whose mother died while in nursing home care and was told
Died of Virus. The woman suspected neglect, demanded an autopsy, and her suspicions were confirmed. But the nursing home not only gets to avoid accountability, they get additional funding to "fight the virus" with every death they report, as do all other locales and institutions. And there are no comparative stats on what percentage of residents die during a "normal" flu season.
All of the pain we're feeling has been caused by the response to the virus, not the virus itself. And the lambs are trying to drag the wolves to the slaughter. No one likes to live in fear. It makes me angry that so many are living in this state because their trusted leaders have said it is to be this way. The fear is real while the cause is largely contrived.
