what baffles me the most is that in countries with a low infection rate people don't credit that to the fact that lockdowns, mask wearing and social distancing were introduced - but rather turn into conspiracy lunatics and claim the virus doesn't exist.
you only need to look at countries who called it a hoax and look at their numbers now
Besides the US currently Brazil is the best example for that

Yes, this might seem stupid, but right now I am quite upset because of this certain festival being canceled. I can't stand any in-door events, there is only
One Event I am Interested in For Years. This is not a regular festival, but I won't rob anyone's time to talk about this. I simply need this time to be here with these tribal people and dance for a week.
My parents live in the capital city and they are using masks [which I do too, as it is still mandatory in shops - and me, as a skeptic asshole I use the masks properly while most ppl put the mask below their noses, so it is totally useless]. My wife's father, who lives next to us did not take this too seriously..
The lockdown should be applied to ppl who are endangered, not all ppl.
This is just my opinion, and I do realize that there are 1000 versions of reality, so I am not saying I am the smartest in this topic.
I see your point in your last paragraph. I am not saying that the virus does not exist. I am saying that it is overhyped. By the forces of media and politicians combined.
Have you checked that usatoday article I linked above about the Woodstock festival with 400k ppl and H3N2 in 1968????
I'd be OK with wearing mask and/or anything for years in the shops, etc, but I see no point in killing the (summer) gatherings. Look, a few days ago our gov let soccer matches happen with crowd/unlimited number of supporters there in the stadiums. I was watching the first 15 minutes on TV just to shock myself: the entire thing was 1:1 in a soccer game happening 6-9-12 months ago. No sign, I repeat NO SIGN of any virus, masks, anything. Everything, all the handshakes and shit was the same as in "normal times". Now fuck this! Fuck this bullshit that this can happen, but I can't gather with 25k hippies in a huge open-air land... This is fucking insane+annoying!
((
...sigh...
Despite the hard feelings this topic does to me, I'd like to state that I am a huge fan of yours and Do Respect your opinion [on all possible topics actually] and give your words significant weight.
So please don't get offended and try to understand me.
