So, I know I'm in the minority here, but I believe the virus is real.

At the same time: I have absolutely no idea why people wear all of this alone in their own car. What's the point? In case a cop pulls you over and they're not wearing a mask?

I don't think anyone argues the virus isn't real.

It's just that for 98% of people under 70, they'll be fine. 90% of people between 70 and 80 will be fine. And if you're over 80 or have another health condition like cancer, you should be very cautious.

A big survey about 3 months ago found that people under 40 generally believed that if they got the virus, death was imminent. This isn't true.. It wasn't true then, it wasn't true in march, it's not true now. But if you try to tell them that, they will rage against you. This is atheism at it's core and this woman is merely following it's scriptures and principles, virtuous scientism.

I think caution is warranted. But you don't quarantine the healthy.. You don't lock everyone up and tell them to wear a mask that doesn't do anything. In a real pandemic, you're not stocking up on toilet paper, they're using toilet paper for kindling for the mass graves.

The woman in this photo is the typical American person. A people searching for a king. A people made to be ruled.

Plenty of people on this site are definitely claiming it isn't real.

There is a big difference between "not real" and "not risky"

Then go post proof of it in this thread.

I'm pretty sure if it is real, it's not working as well as was hoped. Otherwise the bombardment of covid bullshit wouldnt be necessary. Everyone would know somebody who had been affected.

Instead, pneumonia, copd, influenza, and emphysema suddenly stopped killing anyone. Nobody dies from them anymore- I'm not the smartest guy- but if you can't smell the bullshit yet, then I'm concerned for you. Get your sniffer checked.
