I have stopped staying in, stopped wearing gloves. I never wore masks. I don't wear disposable gloves anymore when I pump gas or go into stores, and I quit spraying bacteria killer whenever I get back in my car after leaving a store. I did all these things until a few days ago. Although I always suspected this virus panic incitement was a fraud. I have now determined 100% it is.
A couple of things have really influenced my decision lately:
1) The strident opposition by the media and Democrats to any attempt to re-open businesses in states with GOP governors (while giving the Democrat Colorado governor a pass.)
2) The barely-covered revelation by researchers that likely MILLIONS of Americans have had COVID and were unaware, because in most people, symptoms are non-existent.
3) The barely-covered revelation that nearly all the non-elderly COVID deaths have been extremely obese people.
4) The admitted manipulation of COVID death cause reporting by government officials.
5) In this information age, STILL a lack of consistent basic information on this virus.
6) It's April 25, and as yet I STILL do not know of anyone personally who has had the virus, nor do my wife, nor do my kids. I STILL have never heard of a single conservative with COVID, except for Rand Paul, who despite a damaged lung, did not comment on any difficulty. Conversely, I personally knew six people who had H1N1, including a friend of a friend in his 30s who died from it.
7) The silly dishonest "Lysol" attack against Trump on something he never said. I think THAT was the last straw. That, to me, shows what this is REALLY about.
So that's it. I'm not young, but I am in great shape, and actively getting out and going to stores is how I am protesting.
