I'll give you a simple analogy

You're going 70 on the interstate and not paying much attention to the road. I'm in the passenger's seat and notice a wreck and traffic stop up ahead.

The logic you're using with what you're saying right now is there is no reason to break yet because you haven't slammed into the back of a car.

A better analogy would be I'm going 70 on I-10 here in Phoenix and you're in the passenger seat freaking out and screaming I need to hit the brakes because there's a horrible accident on I-10 in Los Angeles.

Your analogy...reinvented.

You're a passenger in a car going 50 MPH at dusk/night on the interstate towards the end of rush hour. The driver, distracted by the handjob you are dilligently providing, is not paying much attention to the road. In his act of ecstasy, you gaze down the road to allow him his moment. That is when you notice police lights up ahead. You assume it is a 100 car pile up.

The logic you are using for that assumption is based off reports that more severe accidents occur at dusk/night during rush hour. As opposed to letting the driver know so he can slow down accordingly and proceed with caution, you insist that they pull over and set the car on fire...since, you know, that is what is going to happen anyway

FIFY

The virus is real.

It is a concern for most.

It sure as hell seems as though it is being used as political capital.

Data has been misrepresented at times (to what degree we don't know, but when you are disingenuous, future info should be scrutinized imho).

The MSM seems to be using that data as a basis to induce fear and/or panic.

Common sense needs to rule the day. Imho...that has not been the case.

I jest about the hand job, but I won't judge you either.
