Jordan Schachtel: "The 'New Strain' Of COVID Propaganda"

ZZZZZOMG WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE AGAIN PUT ON MORE MASKS AND GET BACK IN YOUR BASEMENT NO TIME FOR A TOILET PAPER RAID ON TH' COSTCO!!!!!!!!!!!!

   Look, I know that we're bathing in uncertainty here, and that there are people out there genuinely doing their best to deal with it...but at some point we've got to say that enough is enough.

   Maybe there really is a killer new strain of the batflu out there... But we can't just keep buying these maybes one after another. We're in week 40 of "two weeks to flatten the curve." We seem to have done just about everything wrong. Instead of isolating the relatively small slice of the population that's genuinely vulnerable, we isolated everybody...except, y'know, for all the blue-collar workers for whom it's all just business as usual...but with masks... We shut down schools when kids aren't vulnerable and the virus doesn't seem to spread well in classrooms. We shut down colleges when--at last check--only two college students in the entire country had died from this. The powers that be fanned the flames of hysteria at every point. So we're just long past the point at which we can pay much attention to MAYBE THERE'S A KILLER NEW BATFLU 2 OUT THERE!!!111
