This is the best opportunity to view our culture in its true state, and I can't look away. Wasted so much time on Facebook observing the honesty. A local reporter for a small newspaper asked my town what it felt about the virus on FB, to take a pole. She got hundreds of enraged responses along the lines of "You are supporting fake news by talking about it! You are a liberal trying to take down the econony to tarnish Trump!" The distrust and hate is remarkable.

I agree, on some level people do seem to want an apocalypse scenario, maybe because they think they are going to be a grand hero? Modern life lacks all the drama needed to be interesting? IDK. But I think most change their minds pretty quickly when reality sinks in.
