Where to Turn for REAL Information

To watch and listen to Conservative voices (Fox, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, etc) is to get a bit of whiplash. And stupid people are responding to it.

Examples:
First. Trump and Fox said Covid 19 was a Democratic hoax, and so nothing much changed in the Red states. States like Arkansas where a church kept on meeting, and now 35 of them have Covid 19 symptoms (who knows how many have it without symptoms.) LINK

Then. Trump said the hydroxychloroquine would cure Covid 19 without understanding all the previous testing of it (LINK).  But, since people believe Trump, people are overdosing on it (LINK). Old people have also used it in a form that is used in aquarium cleaning and are dying in Arizona (LINK).

AND. Trump has been blaming China for this. Not as in, "the didn't tell enough poeple" but as in, "It might be a bioweapon". United States Senators are parroting this (okay maybe just Tom Cotton, a Trump in training) LINK.

Now! Fox News has asked "Is the cure worse than the disease?"with regards to the stock market. Since Trump thinks that only a great stock market will get him re-elected he has proposed opening business on Easter (April 12th). He has said "Is the cure worse than the disease?" And dopes follow his advice.

  • Evangelical Liberty University in Lynchberg Tennessee (yes, it is actually a city still named after illegally hanging black people) is reopening Monday, despite a growing virus stats in the community (LINK).
  • Lt. Governor of Texas (Texas!) said suggested that Grandparents and old people would willing sacrifice themselves for the sake of the economy. REALLY 

So, to recap:

was Hoax -> then We Have a Cure -> now Old People Want to Die for the Stock Market.
