However, I do know one thing. You can't spell "pandemic" without DEM and PANIC.

panDEMic ... PANdemIC

My wife and I know probably about 10 people who are confirmed to have had it. One of her co-workers had it and that woman's mother died of it. We know (met once or twice) someone from our church who died from it. The co-worker and one of my son's friend's father are the only ones we know well. The co-worker had it pretty bad. The friend's father, not so bad.

Not saying it doesn't exist. Not saying people haven't died from it.

I am saying that it's not what we're being told. I think it has a very narrow demographic that is vulnerable to it and they need to protect themselves, not shut everyone else down.

I also think that the numbers are inflated/manipulated. I think many of those numbered deaths were not directly because of covid, but get attributed to it.

I think if you're old and ill living in a nursing home, you've got cause for alarm.

I think the rest of us can pretty much go about our business.
