I really don't believe yours is an unpopular opinion, we often sit and wonder what is truth and what not when it comes to this virus!
I do believe you've hit the nail on the head when you said
We are being fear mongered into submission.
That is precisely what they're doing!
But we're not the only ones who are coming up with a plan in our industry so will certainly keep the spirits up; us humans are the most adaptable creatures on earth!
Stay safe and sane my friend;)
