Well my parents are officially completely consumed by the covid hysteria cult. Went to see them and the topic came up of why we never react this way to other diseases like the flu, which is also quite dangerous for the elderly and *more* dangerous to kids than covid.
I was expecting my mom to pause and think about that point, but instead her response was essentially: "You're right, we SHOULD have been acting this way all along for the flu and common colds, we should have been wearing masks and everything else all along, we could have saved so many lives."
So in her mind the abnormal behavior was how things were *before* covid, and how things are now is actually good. It's extremely disturbing and because it's my own parents being this unreasonable I'm genuinely concerned about it.
And yes, they watch basically nothing but msnbc and cnn all day. And occasionally sports.
