Highlights:
Many of us here were saying exactly these things, months ago. But most would not listen, bought into the media narrative and insisted the end is nigh. Even now there are many who are doubling and tripling down, unable to admit to themselves they have been fooled.
Just a reminder that none of us are immune to media manipulation. We can all become so blinded by it that we cannot see the truth anymore, even when people try to show it to us. The only way to protect yourself is to be vigilant, and to always remain willing to consider the possibility that you are wrong about anything and everything.

More or less good advice. I would say, everyone is always wrong, all the time if they do not actually have data. Once the data starts coming in you must re-evaluate your hypothesis and form a new opinion. Strictly based on the data. Not what you want. Not what you feel. Not what is convenient. Not what doesn't make you look dumb in retrospect.

Yes I was. Do I want to rub it in? Not really, but people need to shake off their media-induced hysteria about this nothing virus and realize they've been manipulated. Folks, if you thought this virus was deadly, snap out of it. It's no more deadly than the average chest cold, which is pretty much what it is.
