Courtesy of our houseguest, the word of the day: “plandemic”, a portmanteau of “planned” and “pandemic”. You’ll find that in the context of anti-Fauci, anti-Gates, anti-vax, anti-chip and similar rhetoric.

Remember the good things about the USA when you talk about us.
I am so sick of this cult of ignorance that has infected the US. I'm not sure if the country, as we know it, will continue to exist another 25 years.

Yikes! That article is kinda... word saladalicious. Here's one from closer to the source at Penn State that I think is a bit clearer:Reopening states will cause 233,000 more people to die from coronavirus, according to Wharton model

Nothing new. Look up luddites.
Every now and then say 40-50 years you generally get a transitional event. Depression, war, pandemic, political philosophy etc.
Regardless of who wins things change in the next event.

City's proclamation requiring face masks in stores and restaurants is amended after threats of violence | CNN

Geez. Imagine people threatening to harm or kill others because the gas station doesn't let you in bare-foot.
I mean, is it annoying to wear a mask? Sure. It isn't an infringement on my personal freedoms though. At least in my opinion. I also don't see it as some sort of conspiracy to 'train' me to obey orders in the future.

So, some years ago, two murderous wretches set off a pair of bombs at the Boston Marathon.
In the manhunt that ensued, authorities asked Bostonians to stay indoors. And we did, in droves. The Greater Boston Area became a ghost town. Streets were more empty then than they are now.
And folks around the nation... shoveled derision and criticism on us for it. Said we were cowering in fear. Called us sheep for following orders.
Nobody outside the Boston area really got this - we were not afraid of these chuckleheads. Nobody was staying in afraid that the Tsarnaev brothers would get us. We wanted the rat bastards caught, and we realized that the best way to do that was to stay out of the way of the professionals.
Sometimes, following orders is the smart way to get what you want done.
