While that vast majority of these actions are purely political, there is also the very real threat of activist lawsuits for any death that could be even loosely associated with an event. Imagine how it could snowball if an entity with limitless resources like SPLC were to win a couple of obscure cases. Such are the benefits of a legal system run by and for lawyers working with laws made by lawyers.

Couldn't agree more. I heard that the CDC issued a statement that the deaths from Covid-19 have been reduced to a level that soon it will drop below pandemic level. I think the initial response was definitely warranted. We had very little idea what we were dealing with. After a month or so, new information came out and indicated that the virus wasn't nearly as deadly as had been predicted.

Power hungry officials saw their chance and took it. They knew that they had to consolidate their power and spread disinformation so that they could act as dictators for awhile.

Their actions are completely disgusting to me.

If you feel the need to participate in this unwarranted hysteria, go right ahead.

Leave me out of it. I don't buy the bullshit they're selling.

I wonder if insurance companies pressure events or vendors so that they can’t open.

The company I work for is down because of Covid fear and they've been in business for 72 years. I got lucky and found alternative employment a few months ago but I never though I'd see the day where I would have to. It's ridiculous.
