To understand this, you have to realize that human psychology has maintained these instincts as a mechanism for survival. The most common one would be, you interpret objects moving towards you to be faster than they are actually moving. This is you brain trying to keep you from getting hit by a truck, chased down by a predator, etc. We haven't evolved to think differently, even though the way it is applied is now different. We hear news such as the pandemic, and we keep ourselves safe by staying isolated. There is a reason for being "better safe than sorry" when the alternative is completely unknown. Cases are higher now than ever before, but in addition to lockdown fatigue, we also know more about the risks of being exposed.Kind of like the virus itself?
If you think the virus is overhyped, you might not necessarily be wrong. But if you think it isn't warranted, maybe your side of the evolution gene pool took a different turn than most people's.
Can't wait to hear the responses about the media controlling the sheep!
