A little media sensationalism, and boom. Public gatherings are now against the law, in some places GOING OUTSIDE is against the law, and more people have filed for unemployment than did in the 2009 crash. All for our own safety.

And they encountered no resistance. We just went along with it. Now there's no end in sight, and no peak in sight, all of the wealth that was amassed over the past three years is gone, and all it took to destroy all that we've built was a couple talking heads - who will never even feel any of this financial ruin - to tell us we're all going to die.

I have no doubt this country will recover from this, but we are in trouble.

And if there's something I'm missing, or haven't taken into account, I'm all ears. Please ELI5 why I'm wrong; don't just call me a concern troll. Because I'm concerned.
