If you think masks disrupt life, you’re not the crazy one

The pandemic has been maddening, partly because everywhere you look, you see media figures, political figures, and public health figures all confidently telling you stuff that you know is totally wrong.

Grownups spread stories that you could get COVID if you ran 20 feet behind someone on a sidewalk. News articles totally glossed over the fact that children are incredibly safe from this virus. When the virus originated in the vicinity of a Chinese virology lab with a history of safety and transparency, the media said it was a racist conspiracy theory to connect the two. Add in the Andrew Cuomo love plus the constantly shifting of the goal posts without admitting it, and it was easy to go mad.
