Fear is a powerful tool. Even with the coronavirus we still live in the safest era humanity has ever known with the highest life expectancy, but the media has told us that isn't good enough and our freedoms must be sacrificed so folks with dimentia, alzheimers and multiple co-morbidities eek out a few miserable years alone trapped in a prison that's an old folks home.
The fear works on state and local government officials as well. We got lockdowns from the media showing people dropping dead in China and China being forced to lockdown. We got mask mandates after the media kept hounding the Chinavirus task force and CDC to release guidelines on masks and then heavily promoting their use afterwards.

This, but they actually killed those folks just to make their point.
And now it’s “think of Grandma!”
I would, but you already killed her.
Think of grandma, think of the children, if it saves just one life, cuts for your own good, it’s for the greater good. On and on and on.
We’ve come a long way from “ok boomer”.
