COVID Hysteria: The Bowling Alley Event That Proves We Haven't Learned a Thing
In a bizarre display of ongoing COVID hysteria, a group in Oregon recently rented out a bowling alley for what they termed a “COVID cautious event.”
In a time when mask mandates have been largely discredited, this gathering serves as a quintessential example of how some continue to cling to outdated narratives about the pandemic.
While many Americans have moved on, embracing personal freedom and responsible decision-making, these participants were seen donning masks and engaging in behavior that is not only redundant but counterproductive.
Experts have long acknowledged that the health risks posed by COVID-19 to children are minimal. Yet, the parents and organizers of this event appear to be instilling unwarranted fear in the next generation, potentially leading them to harbor long-term anxieties over normal childhood infections.
Bowing to perceived social pressures, they are perpetuating a culture of fear that runs counter to the principles of personal responsibility and rational risk management. This kind of thinking fails to comprehend that the real harm comes not from the virus, but from the societal reactions to it.
Moreover, suggestions that such gatherings contribute to public health are misguided. Masks, particularly in humid conditions, can actually create a breeding ground for bacteria—exacerbating rather than alleviating health concerns.
As America marches into a new year, it's vital to reflect on our responses to COVID-19. It’s time to reject the hysteria and embrace the reopening of our society without the shackles of fear.
Resilient and self-reliant communities thrive when citizens make informed choices, supporting one another in the face of challenges rather than cowering in fear. Events like these only serve to remind us of the distance we still have to travel in dispelling the myths that have taken hold over the past few years.
It’s high time we trust ourselves to make the right decisions and set a positive example for future generations.
