144 Angelinos a day are dying?

CVS shopper in Los Angeles goes all COVID on woman not wearing mask. LA, the angry shopper says, is “the epicenter of the virus where 1 person is dying every 10 minutes from COVID-19…” At that rate, the rest of the country soon will not have to worry about Los Angeles at all. Story at weaselzippers.

Here’s the deal: COVID-19 will not go away. The not going away has nothing to do with viruses sticking around forever or at least a long time. The not going away has to do with politics, news media and money. Politicians can keep people in fear. News feeds on fear. Politicians and news organizations will get money -- ad sales for news and donations for politicians – because too many people are afraid and want politicians to tell news people what to tell the people.

Politicians lie when saying “We know what is best for you.” So do news people. The sad thing is, some of them don’t know they are lying. The sadder thing is, too many Americans don't see the lies, either.
