Yep I vacillate between not giving a shit, and then worrying about my family and what happens if no one takes any precautions. Not just in terms of covid I mean what if someone needs surgery? See supply chains getting messed up again. I guess the takeaway is we're on our own.
eight months of highly-politicized pandemic hysteria later, the average person has lost all trust in both the government and the media, and has almost no sense of how to properly assess current risk. our real disaster is information-based.

The talking heads need to be sued for libel. That's the only way to get "News" stations back to abiding by the tenets of Journalism and reporting facts instead of opinion/narrative creation.

Hasn’t journalism cycled between “good” and “bad”? There was no perfect time. It’s like claiming people were kinder in some past decade.

Friends in some countries disagree... could imply that the problem is still in the execution by our gov't and media, rather than purely endemic to the new information architecture we live in.
