Covid 19. Over reaction ?

[Pat6868]

Interesting to see Sweeden's response to this dilemma. Whether this is successful or not, I wish them health and safety.

I understand how political leanings can sway peoples opinions of what to believe or not.

Being passionate about anything, including your political thinking, isn't a bad thing but it can lead to not being able to communicate and reason with other people that may not agree with your opinion.

I may be way out of line but it would seem to make more sense to use our passions towards a more productive outcome.

Arguing with other people about this makes no sense when nobody is going to change their mind set. I'm as guilty as anyone.

What positive steps, if any, could be taken?

Using common sense and be being cautious is a pretty safe bet.

Don't waste your time. The guy has validated almost everything I wrote. He wants me to share my research because he's too lazy to do it. I bet he wants me to pay him for it too.

He's the type of guy who will go out to prove that the media is honest and factual instead of questioning whether the information is honest and factual and making your own conclusions based on what you find from real data.

You just cannot fix it.

The Republican Party and the Tea Baggers march to the beat of Fox News, Breitbart News, Infowars, The Drudge Report, and Charles Koch. An honest and fun loving group indeed.

Yeah, the Dems and Commies would rather put their faith(am I allowed to use the word faith around Dems?)in life-long politicians, "professional" lawyers and media hearsay from an un-named source.

You're just talking trash because you are the type of person who is immune to research. You're a closed minded person who is actually too lazy to do research. In fact you only have opinions and have no research that's why you are not responding to my post.

The Dictator that you support has told over 15,000 lies since he has been office. Now refute that with facts.

My question to SSGTMustang was simply a request to provide his proof about the media lying about Covid 19. He comes back with a bunch of gibberish and attacks me. And I don't put up with that crap. He wants to talk smack but runs for cover when asked to prove his garbage remarks that I take he has gotten from the Dictator in Chief. People need to be called out for this kind of trash talking.
