Well, you got certain people who are still married to their initial take on the virus. It reminds me a lot of people with the weather around here. At least once a year, they forecast some ludicrous amount of snow, say 16 inches. When the system shifts and all that falls is 4 inches, many people still act as though it’s a blizzard and that we got the 16 inches. Cancel school, call into work, panic, etc.
Inability to move off the initial projections of this virus and view things as they are is a similar condition...but a much bigger problem than overreaction to snowfall.
Some people are also totally unable to defend their positions (or their lousy political affiliation) at this point. Therefore the only option they have is to personally attack the person delivering an argument that counters their own beliefs.
“Well where’s your medical degree???” is a popular one that’s been thrown around a few times here. As if we are unqualified to criticize anyone in an industry that we do not work in. But really, we all live in the aftermath of Fauci’s directions. We can see the resulting human suffering and make our own assertions about his competence.
