Day ninety-three of The 100 Day Project.

Has anyone put forward a law similar to Godwin’s Law that describes the likelihood of a discussion on the internet about coronavirus guidance/regulations/restrictions leading to comparisons to George Orwell’s 1984 or Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World yet?

I’m seriously tired of people perceiving protecting themselves and others from needless death in the current situation as comparable to situations in these (admittedly brilliant) novels.

All I see when I see those posts is entitlement, selfishness and people unable to understand the sacrifice of even basic pleasures for the safety of themselves and others.
