This picture was probably taken during the 30's, the 40's perhaps.
This one was taken this year.
One would then have to conclude that people are just as stupid as they were 50 to 70 years ago. Progress: we aren’t making any. I don’t want to get sick and my guess is you don’t want to either unless you hate your job more than being ill but in this country when the media says, “jump” the stupid listen and not only jump - they blast off. So, schools are closing and your co-workers are wearing masks thinking it will keep them from getting sick. I am not a doctor and know very little about disease spread patterns or how viruses form but I do know how people behave when words are used like “pandemic” and people try to inform you something is spreading from Mexico, people are going to lose their minds. The LA Time reported today that scientists say this flu strain is no worse than the one that kills 10,000 people every winter. So why all the attention? Maybe it takes you away from more important stories of death and lack of humanity in the world. Maybe it takes you away from what your government is doing with your tax dollar or who we are bombing this week and how many civilians were killed. It’s a ratings game and the more you are scared and await instructions the more you are going to see ads for things you don’t need and probably buy them.
We are closing schools and expect to see masked people walking among us because the parents panic and the schools don’t want to get sued. Personally, I will avoid these people. If I owned a company and my employees showed up in masks I would know who to lay off first. Think for yourself. If something sounds like it is being sold to you get the facts and don’t go with the crowd.
