They suggested alternate activities for those wanting to celebrate Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos. These activities often include indoor candy scavenger hunts and costume contests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The activities they suggest in place of traditional festivities are utterly ridiculous and they have only made it clearer that much of the coronavirus hype was to wage war on the American way of life and ensure conformity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is plainly evident with the previously mentioned activities. One day of trick-or-treating is not going to change coronavirus case numbers in any meaningful way and anyone who is worried about the virus can simply turn their lights off and not give out candy. When combined with mandatory masks and nonsensical social distancing policies, this shows that it has nothing to do with reducing numbers and everything to do with mandated compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the fact that most people don\u2019t wear the masks correctly, often touching their faces or not washing the masks every day, they are essentially useless but they are nonetheless required to shop anywhere. Additionally, in places like grocery stores where dots are put on the floor to mark six feet, nobody actually stands on them, but we still have to pretend like they work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The coronavirus is almost entirely non-lethal. The death toll purely from COVID-19 is nowhere near as high as 200,000 and if the media treated it the same way they treat the flu, no one would notice. This mass hysteria is all to tank the economy and show subservient people wearing masks similar to communist China in order to make &#8220;Trump\u2019s America&#8221; look bad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m no epidemiologist, but I can safely predict the day when the coronavirus is no longer a threat: November 4th.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Nicholas Vetrisek Democrats and some public health officials are saying that families should skip trick-or-treating to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
