While I acknowledge the massive stranglehold the MSM has on America, in my house Ive been optimistic that these lockdown orders won't last very long, and especially not anywhere the lengths the MSM will try and get you to believe.

Why? Because I knew that the odds of this virus being anything close to what they say it might be were slim to none, and at some point the raw data would no longer be open to panic inducing speculation.

Anyone who has ever engaged with me on this I simply redirect them to the numbers the CDC has on every pandemic, including the seasonal flu, and let them make an interpretation for themselves.

Many will still cling to the headlines, but some I've talked to snap out of it and see the situation for what it is. Pretty soon these headlines will start to fade out.

The real question is, which I've heard many people calling for here, is how do we get the public to remember how much they were lied to once this thing blows over? Hopefully we figure that one out quick, because we are running out of time until they find the next thing to latch on to

That's the hardest part, getting people to remember. They have a 3 day memory. If it's not at the top of Google news, Twitter and Reddit, then it doesn't exist.

That said, people tend to remember things more when they cause them pain. That's just how the brain works. A lot of people still remember 2008. Why? Because massive pain was involved. Hopefully the same will be true about this panic scare.
