It sounds much like the claim is many people still think the virus doesn't actually exist and thats something I disagree with. Yea maybe a very very small %. The truth is many people think its overblown and thats something thats been debated from the start. That dos not = thinking its "not real". Many older people think of it like many other things they have survived in their lifetime and dont want to drastically change their lives over it. Thats somewhat understandable as well even if its a bad idea. But it sure sounds better to just claim a ton of people think its all fake and we all know why people make that claim. |

The South Dakota nurse got a CNN appearance. As someone who was already skeptical of lockdowns and government overreach these Covid morality tales only make me MORE skeptical. This reminds me of the WMD in Iraq. Once I realized the media was pushing for it I started reading non US media because I stopped trusting what I was reading here in the US. |

My dad never wears a mask. His main reason is he saw a video on Facebook saying they were dangerous and causing people to pass out. I never could get him to understand. Would a mask have kept him from getting COVID? Honestly, probably not with the way he was still socializing, shopping, going to restaurants with friends etc. But it MIGHT have. It might have also reduced the viral load and increased his odds of pulling through more easily. It might have also reduced the number of people he likely infected. Covid in a 78 year old man with heart and other health complications is concerning.
Besides loving my dad and wanting him to be okay, I'm personally frustrated as well. My wife and I have chosen to significantly alter our lifestyle due to COVID to protect people just like my dad, yet many of them are just making things worse. We haven't been in a restaurant or with friends indoors since March. We've elected to miss out on family Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff that we're pretty sure the rest of the family will still have. I want nothing more than to hug every single one of my and my wife's family members. I don't pretend to have the answers. Everything just sucks until next summer. Oh, and I'm still extremely worried about my mom with dementia in assisted living too. |

I think we know there are people out there who don't think it is real but as you said, of the "hoax crowd" most just think it isn't as dangerous as they are told. |

It will end up in a lawsuit like when that lady spilled coffee on herself and a jury gave her 10 million for it.

But let's just go through recent history.. Mayor of D.C. exempts herself from quarantine Mayor of Chicago celebrates in the streets Mayor of Denver travels for Thanksgiving Governor of CA has fancy dinner with no masks indoors with a lot of people Brooklyn official has huge indoor party with no masks Then these same people and their like tell everyone else not to have Thanksgiving or travel for Thanksgiving, etc. Now what do you suppose people say when they get told one thing but see the people telling them the one thing doing another? The CNN story was a crock of shit and everyone knows that. |

"I'm not living what might be the last of my days in hiding" or something very similar to that. Now they wear masks and stuff when they go out but that's their general view and for the most part it's the same view of other people I have talked too that's their age and older. |

My wife is an ER nurse and thinks the same thing. Let's take into account the list of NFL players with COVID.
Spoiler!
Now, how many died or were even hospitalized? |

Clearly the general public has a lot in common with nfl players from a physical and health standpoint.

Do you think it's really as bad as govt and media are making it out to be? "New cases" is a very, very broad term at this point and is being used to manipulate the population. |
