We now have 911 doubters, moon landing doubters, anti vaxers, chem trail believers etc etc and social media has enabled them to group together and thereby feel more justified in their wild claims.
The current Covid virus problem is being exacerbated by these types of people who somehow 'know better' than the best scientific minds and advice available.
Everything gets questioned ad nauseum and that creates doubt in some leading to fear and panic.
It's time to be reasonable rather than add to the hysteria by making stupid statements based on nothing but gut feelings or as Stuart Littlemore once said "simplistic answers to complex questions"

Nothing new.
It has been happening with ‘climate change’ over the past five years or so, but the hypocritical enviro nazis have stepped it up a notch over the last year or two, where the public is bombarded with propaganda multiple time every day.
The hysteria surrounding this virus gives us a break from that BS.
Ironically from what I’ve seen a lot of those who push climate change and how everyone but themselves need to change are most affected by the economic impacts from this. Hospo & retail jobs, or an income that is reliant on leisure disposable spending. Non essential services. Enjoy.
