Why does everyone have to be so mean? Does it make you feel better about yourself to call people "low information"? Bully, much? You do understand that both sides of the aisle manipulate voters and both sides have voters that are able to be manipulated, right? Can it be that both sides have an agenda? Maybe you are being manipulated too by believing the hysteria. Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. Those who demean others usually do so in order to boost their own confidence and to downplay their own insecurities and faults.
I think both sides have handled this very poorly.
We've done relatively little testing here compared to the rest of the world, yet that poster was crowing about how low our numbers are here. I'm sorry, but that is the very definition of a low-information voter. It doesn't get any plainer than that. The truth hurts.
So THEN the media was reporting unbiased truth, but NOW the media needs to be discarded?
Why? Didn't fit with your narrative?
Oh absolutely not. I still believe what the media is saying. I should have clarified and said that I'm also looking at alternative sources and their prognosis is even worse than the MSM. But absolutely, the media needs to keep on keeping on with their accurate reporting.

You invent your own information and then call those who use a different source, "low information".
Pretty funny.

You keep talking about "an alternative source".
Is that the same as "an anonymous source"?
I think about the people of London cleaning up their neighborhoods and living without roofs during the Blitz like it's nothing and then compare that to this panic we are living with today when a couple of hundred people around the WORLD have died in a couple of months.
When did we become such panic babies? To be a human being is to live at risk. The minute you walk out your door you are at risk. Dying is part of your existence, it can happen any time. Why the panic? This is so stupid.
Shutting down cities and schools is not a panic its a sensible measure, you seem to think that following guidance from medical experts is some sort of overreaction. So what are we doing wrong.

Which information did I invent? Do you think the amount of testing done in the U.S. is in any way comparable to the amount of testing done in other places around the globe? If so, please show us those numbers.
Here's a hint for all you low-information people here. If we don't test, we don't get any numbers telling us how the virus is spreading. I know, I know, it's a statement every first grader would understand, but apparently it has to be explained to many people here.

It's analogous to 9/11 when we halted air travel. We didn't know what we didn't know until we did. I don't understand why people are so averse to taking proactive precautions instead of reacting once the horse is out of the barn?
