I think you got to dig down pretty far to find someone advocating for a "Coronavirus Party" and honestly if people believe that, they kind of need to be out of the gene pool just like that idiot who drank pool cleaner that had Hydroxychloroquine in it.
The worlds not a safe place and there should never be a guarantee that it is 100% safe because you always give up freedom when you seek comfort.Adults aren't a bunch of children that need to be herded about. We are much more educated and informed than or parents or grandparents and it's not because we have people filtering out what can and can't be talked about. We have a much wider range of ideas and consciousness about how our actions affect others than 20, 40, 100 years ago (which is a very fast change in a short time in human history).
What you want stifles innovation and creates a small group that can control what information can be seen which inevitably leads to that small group controlling knowledge and destroying diversity of thought. It's always been the wild west, go suck your thumb and stay in your room or go outside deal with it. Nobody else should have to suffer just because you're too fragile.

Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, CNN, Fox, NBC, and other social and television media all have policies that make me think of this quote from this old movie. When there is not a clear cut policy other than "I don't like what they're saying" then that is always going to be an abuse of power.

Don't force silent one group or it will give them more firepower and more clout when others find out they're being silenced. Instead make fun of them, anyone who takes themselves too seriously will lose authority. Crazies will always be out there. You can't and don't want a "perfect" world, just a fair one.
If anything, people should be citing their sources better so that we know exactly where they are coming from. When both "legitimate" and "illegitmate" news give almost no citations or put sources out of context, then it's no wonder you get more people going the conspiracy theory route. If the media educated the public better, bullshit stories wouldn't have a base to stand on.

It's definitely an early version of what the developers envisioned but the deep story and details are there. The biggest difference is the combat system is nothing like the 2nd or 3rd game and it just involved timing your clicks correctly, don't worry about dodging or fighting multiple opponents at once. It's much more static but it is an improvement from something like World of Warcraft and most other Action RPG combat systems at that time.
For a game that was released in 2007, it's pretty fun but falls below the level of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006). For an initial game from a brand new studio, it's a phenomenal piece of work and hints at what's to come when they have more funding behind them.
When I complete that game I'm going to play through The Witcher II. I enjoy playing classic games that were made even before I was born, and I still play DOS games like Star Wars: Dark Forces series and Prince of Persia from time to time. It's a fun piece of history I get to experience.
The number one job of the media is to educate the public and they do an extremely poor job of it. Because we have the internet and all kinds of ideas out there, people are free to find the information themselves. We have to think critically about what we are reading and sift through the bullshit but we've come a long way since having the 2-3 TV news channels where we got all our information from.
