Just one more thing that adds doubt to a confusing and suspicious situation.
So much of the handling of this virus is so questionable and ridiculous that it makes no sense, it is extremely frustrating, and impossible to apperceive.
I listened to the news today, where they spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to convince us that the virus is peaking at a higher rate than before, and how deadly it is for all age groups. They have several counties that have just recently mandated that everyone over the age of two should be wearing a mask in public, because they say the virus is getting worse. Right behind that, they had a representative from the school board trying to convince us it is safe for children to go back to public school.
How can you make people believe the virus is deadly enough to require unusual measure for protection, deadly enough to shut down businesses, deadly enough to shut down churches, but then say it is safe in school?
They say they have made mistakes in the past when dealing with this deadly virus, because it is so novel they don't know enough about it. They say there are medications that show some "promise" in treating the symptoms, but there is no cure for the disease, then ask parents to play Russian Roulette with their children.
They can't have it both ways. It is either deadly enough to require all these drastic measure to protect the community, or it isn't. Before COVID, schools were one of the most germ filled places that children spent a huge amount of time. Parents accepted that because the standard germs children were exposed to, were common germs with little risk of life threatening illness. They never shut down an entire planet due to the risk of exposure to any of those germs. I think it is ridiculous to keep talking about the deadliness of the virus and then expect parents to feel comfortable about sending their children out into the midst of it.
