Thankfully, we stopped them just in time... But it wasn't easy. It was difficult to identify the true perpetrators at first. The Covidian Cultists looked just like you and I. Many of them were otherwise nice people, seemingly harmless, like the girl (or guy) next-door.

Obsessed with a fear of germs and getting sick, they began placing cloth in front of their noses and mouths. This made it difficult for them to breathe. Many of them got sick from wearing the dirty “masks” everyday. Others developed cognitive and mental health disorders from years of oxygen deprivation and social isolation. Still, the CC held onto the hope that covering their faces would keep them healthy, despite evidence to the contrary. They clung to their religious doctrine and faith in celebrities and experts, hoping to be rescued from sickness and death.

Their cult was based on diehard conformity, obedience and blind trust in televised authority figures. The CC followed orders from authorities, especially medical leaders who promised them they wouldn't get sick or die as long as they continued to comply. Cult members felt a sense of relief when a powerful celebrity or politician told them what to do and they obeyed.

Unfortunately, the CC got out of hand. They began threatening non-members with imprisonment in concentration camps. They censored information that contradicted their radical beliefs. They threatened outsiders with unemployment, lack of health care and educational opportunities. Things got ugly.

So... those in charge of the CC had to be stopped. They were arrested, taken to answer for their crimes before a judge and worldwide jury.

Eventually, they were stopped but the CC followers still exist among us. They conform. They obey. They follow orders from “experts,” “celebrities,” and “authorities.” They do what they are told to do. They trust in the higher power of the wealthy and privileged.

Fact is, they are afraid of being alone in the world without a strong paternal figure to guide them through life. From where comes this fear? Loneliness? A sense of isolation? Vulnerability? Inner powerlessness? A sense of helplessness and futility?

While we'd like to think we've stopped the CC, we know that many of its devotees still walk among us. They are unable to think independently, to ask questions, to think critically and to be different from other people. They feel compelled to conform. So... have we really stopped them? Or have we just slowed them down? If the latter is correct, the CC will return again one day, when the population is fearful, lonely, marginalized and looking for guidance.

How can we stop the CC for good? Is that even possible?
