Why did the headless chicken cross the road?

If one catches Covis 19 but doesn't get it checked, are they really sick? I'm not diminishing the importance nor am I ignoring the Covid 19 pandemic, but, I do think it has been blown out of proportion by the world's media. I don't recall a news coverage, not even in the darkest days of HIV, which had a daily count of the dead and infected. All we are missing now, are huge time displays located in every large city, displaying the daily "countdown", making it a true Netflix science fiction flick. Here in Israel, we're headed into a third lockdown and all I can think of, is: "is all this self-inflicted?" I don't mean by not taking care of each other, or not wearing a mask. I am talking about the self-inflicted media panic and disarray which made us all run like headless chickens, instead of managing this pandemic in a responsible and logical manner. So... why did the headless chicken cross the road? Well, it did so because it can't see the road with no head, all it can do is listen, and we all know nowadays electric cars are silent, so it really didn't have a praying chance :-( So do we keep on listening? And if we do, who should we listen to? The media? The government? Ourselves? I am not sure. Don't get me wrong I don't want to catch this virus either, but I also don't want to act like a headless chicken, I kind of like my head. And let's face it (no pun intended), without it how could we ever wear a mask?
