BTW one of the greatest myth in this crisis is that the governments are forced to do what they do because care about grandma and grandpa.

Last week we had below zero weather where I live and lots of snow. For more than a week all sidewalks were 80% snow then turned into ice. For a person over 80 falling and breaking the hip is almost always fatal, i.e. a much higher risk of dying than COVID. My 90 year old father died last week, a few months after he fell and broke his hip. He never learned walking again after the operation and bed-bound he slowly slept into the beyond.

No, mom and pops health are NOT the motivation for the government measures. It is all about the mob of the stupid who trust the media and are so hyped up by the 24/7 panic porn that they fear FOR THEIR OWN LIVES! It's the mob of the stupid vs the individual. A pure power struggle that has nothing to do with science or with caring for the vulnerable.

Sorry for the late reply! This is my alternative account and I've mostly been using my primary account lately. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. :(

I have no faith in government altruism any more. It seems to me that virtually everything the government does to try to "help" people makes things worse. They have a sinister agenda and use deception and fear to push that agenda.
