I think old people are just not equipped to survive on the internet

I think its people in general

During lock down when people were at home and having to amuse themselves some made bread and did arts and crafts, whilst others ended up jumping off a cliff into conspiracy theories and right wing bollocks

One guy I know of suggested ivermectin and dog dewormers to treat my bf's cancer because 'cancer is caused by parasites.... there's plenty of information on the internet.... you can do your own research...etc etc'

I used to think the average person was mostly decent and sensible, but not anymore

Never underestimate the strength of small town loyalty, where obviously everyone knows better than a century-spanning corpus of medical research
