Countries shutting borders and closing up, to contain said virus. Thousands of people dying, and the long term ramifications on even healthy people contracting the virus are unknown. Sports leagues have shut down, or drastically altered the way they can operate. This includes the NBA, MLB, NHL, MSL, and any other initial soup you can find. These are facts, they can't be disputed. Yet, on this message board, we have the old guard constantly telling everyone there is nothing to see here, move along, because " I talked to this doctor, or I don't know anyone who has been infected, or I go out without a mask, and am fine". And that it will all go away November 4th, because it's all a big conspiracy to damage the current regime. I don't know how they did it, but getting even 2 countries to agree unilaterally on anything is amazing, but the whole darn world? Well that is some extra, other worldly shite right there. So my question is, who should I believe? Quite a conundrum, eh?

That's a great question rtaylor.

I guess for me it comes down to how accurate these so called "experts" are.

Do I believe an "expert" that said there was going to be 2.2 million deaths from this? That there WAS 100,000 people in Ohio that were walking around deathly contagious on March 12th? That there were going to be 10,000 new cases a day?

Then they just keep changing their story. Uhhhh... yeah, you didn't get too sick when you had it... but there are LONG TERM effects... yeah, that's the ticket. First it's going to scar your lungs. Then it's going to give you heart damage.

Well, the fact is... none of these "experts" have gotten anything right so far. So why keep blindly believing them?

Some of us on here have engaged in such scandalous behavior that these "experts" say would definitely lead to the spread of this all-things-to-all-people virus and didn't spread a thing.

So at what point do you start thinking for yourself, dude.
