A portion of our species has fallen victim to a profound emotional and spiritual illness.

No matter what the risk is, people like this making the kind of comments they are making - advising people from interacting with loved ones or speaking to anyone at all - is sickening.

These politicians are demanding that we cease being human beings. Period. To have meaning as a human being is to interact socially, most especially with family and loved ones. Without that, there is no meaning in life.

They are telling people to live a completely meaningless existence to assuage their own wildly overblown fears of a virus whose effects do not even remotely justify this kind of panic, even if you get it. Influenza has been killing many many people every year for decades, and we have never seen anything like this.

These people are mentally unstable, and they are hell-bent on spreading their emotional instability to everyone they come in contact with.

Just say NO. Louder and louder say it. NO.
