This insanity is endless...

[Vintage Claret]

Yes OC. It is now the norm for some people to follow trumps lead, stick their fingers in their ears and shout, "Fake News!" when evidence emerges that debunks their opinion.

They think that all they have to do is to shout "Fake News" often enough and they win the argument.

The pandemic is real.
Lots of people are catching covid and dying from it.
Governments around the world are struggling to contain it. They are trying many things, some work better than others, but they are genuinely trying to contain the virus.
They would much prefer that things were different and we returned to the pre-pandemic situation.
They are not trying to use it as an excuse to control the whole of the human population for some unknown reason.

But, such is the way of the modern world, conspiracy theories are constantly surfacing. For instance, Trump never had covid, he just used it as an electioneering tool.

I'll continue to listen to the "experts". This is still a new virus and they are constantly playing catch up as more facts about it emerge, therefore their advice can be expected to be subject to regular tweaks.
But if you don't listen to the "experts" then who do you take notice of? An unknown bloke on the internet? Donald Trump? Lots of people do, and that is worrying.

Totally agree with you 59-60, I am no scientist and will continue to follow the given advice of those who know better than me. That would never include Donald Trump, if he told me it was dark at midnight I would still have to go outside and look for myself to be sure.

Did you watch the 3 part series on him?
He was in complete shock when he won and had no plans what to do.
Loved the Borat film lampooning his supporters and Giuliani. His daughter was brilliant.
