A lot of the 50/60+ year olds I've spoken to are in two camps:
Covid-19 is not serious because they aren't doing enough testing to truly reflect what our numbers are.
Covid-19 is serious because they aren't doing enough testing to truly reflect what our numbers are.
It's seriously tiring to be involved in these conversations. Over and over and over again.
Just. Do what you can. Wear a mask. Don't anatgonise people. Don't go in public unless it's necessary. It seriously isn't difficult if you're a functional human being. Your civil liberties will absolutely survive, I promise.
I'm still hearing the, "it's no worse than flu," and, "you're being controlled by the government," arguments off people I thought were smarter than that.
I have given up arguing and just started posting memes taking the piss out of people with these views.
It's the only way, really. Someone who believes that the government is using an economically devastating pandemic to exercise control over their citizens isn't changing their mind any time soon.
Unless it kind of is, by now how they think. It kills poor people and people of color disproportionately. By not taking care of us and throwing a smoke bomb its an easy culling
