Oh I hear you, anon. Where I am (east Tennessee in the mountains) we're about 50 / 50 here. So many people buying into the fear porn and can't be bothered to actually FIND and READ the many dissenting views. And our local "news" stations are willfully and knowingly blind to dissenting views, that they are just a local echo chamber for their mainstream corporate owners. In other words, they're useless and journalism is dead.
So I'll amend my first response to: "And everyone who has a brain says 'NO!'"
