It may be so. My father, now retired, was a doctor and my mom a science teacher. They're not stupid. They don't buy 9/11, or much of the other stuff. Yet they still buy into a monster load of horseshit (ie. lone shooters) pushed on the Boomers by MSM.

Now they won't see me, nor listen to any of my skepticism, anti-authoritarian or otherwise, even when I point out the skepticism that they express themselves. Hysteria makes rational people into idiots.

I know a lot of people are worried. Justifiably so - if it were all true.

You should listen to your folks and respect their wishes to self isolate. My mother had issues breathing for about 5 days in January and now I'm hearing mass accounts of other people having chest pains and the inability to breathe properly as early as Jan. I have a friend in Florida, she was out for 9 days, couldn't breathe during nights...Do you know how many times I've heard of those symptoms before 2020? Maybe once in five years someone would tell me they've had a pneumonia and couldn't breathe...now, that's all I'm hearing from regular folks, no actors, people I personally know!

However, the Economic impact may kill many more if the shutdowns continue ...
