Collective OCD is taking over.

We've reached that point in the CoVid fauxdemic mania. This is collective OCD. This is all about very deep primal fears being projected on a cocked-up fear of contagion.

See the exhibit below, a Blue Checker suggesting that the ten-foot separation between the debate candidates was not enough to guarantee "safety." "Why take risks?" he asks.

Still not enough! Launch both into space to orbit the earth until the ro begs for mercy and promises never to darken humanity’s door again.

Good God, if heavily CoVid-tested public figures standing on a tv set are endangering him what's he going to do on a public bus? I guess he can't go on a public bus. I guess he'll be one of those guys you see driving alone wearing a mask -- so the ambient CoVid droplets (heavily aerosolized but still viral!) won't get him.

These people should crawl back into the womb. The whole problem was that they were birthed into a messy, dirty, risk-ridden world.

Is that what happens to a society when you have widespread insufficient parenting? The absence of fathers? Harried, perpetually anxious single mothers? They say a sense of security, the sense of being at home in the world is formed in the first four years of life, assisted by parenting that reassures the baby, who is bombarded by new stimuli, that there are certain constants that he can rely on. The child who doesn't have consistent parenting, the child who is thrown from one surrogate to another tends not to establish that grounding...

I'm just spitballing because, why not? At this point I can't get any loonier than this zeitgeist
