It's part of the game to keep us afraid and in some state of anxiety. It becomes more difficult to make clear rational decisions, which is then used to nudge us into behavioural directions without our fully realising. I'm sick of it too, yet I know I have to just stop and breathe and unplug... I hope that helps.

Spot on. Thanks, it does. Being reminded to live is important. I think we have become so accustomed to the insanity that we forget we once had lives that didn't revolve around government mandates.
stop, breathe, unplug and try to laugh - helps a lot. Even if it is not a laugh but just a grimace you still get the right chemistry going on in your body.
This was H.L. Mencken's description of the intent of government a hundred years ago:
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary"

Mencken is wonderful (and free! All his stuff is public domain.) He would probably not be amused with what's become of his native Baltimore. ЁЯШР
