Yes there has been a crisis. It’s called a pandemic with millions dead worldwide. Some cannot even agree on that probably.
People railing about the ramifications here is not a help. An audio forum is not a reliable source of health information.
Why are people so concerned about being fed misinformation so willing to perhaps serve it up as well? Misinformation + misinformation = more misinformation.
So go argue this point somewhere suitable if not afraid of confronting other experts. There are non of those here at least non so foolish as to waste time trying to convince a bunch of hifi guys that they are.
Cheers!
