I refuse to live the "new normal"

In my life I have had to experience the dizzying development of science and technology, which has forced me to keep myself updated so as not to be left behind. But, at my age I am no longer willing to change my way of life to adapt to the new reality that the media is insistently promoting. They want to force the idea that we must adapt to a new way of life, which they have called “the new normal”.
 
They constantly tell us that from now on things will be different, thus preparing us to give up our rights and freedoms in exchange for staying alive. This happened after September 11th and the result was the irreparable loss of citizens' rights and liberties.
Now, they intend to do the same, but I am not willing to give up my freedoms: My freedom to choose whether I want to wear a mask or not, my freedom  to move freely wherever I want, my freedom  to freely express my opinions, and my freedom to profess my faith without any restriction.
 
This media’s propaganda is a strategy that aims to break our minds and wills by spreading the fear of getting sick and dying. This fear has affected the most physically and mentally vulnerable, taking control of their thoughts and emotions.
The best example of this is when we see drivers in their vehicles, driving alone, with the windows up, and their masks on. This demonstrates the media has succeeded with its malicious recommendations, misrepresentation, and sensationalism.
 
The masks are and should be used only by sick people, not healthy people. The purpose of these is to prevent healthy people from being infected by the sick, but there are many healthy people who believe that the use of masks will miraculously save them from being infected with the Chinese Virus. If after 3 months in isolation and confined to their homes they still have not developed any symptoms associated with this infection, then they are healthy! and wearing a mask is not needed.
 
We have to put aside the fear of death and start living our lives again, with optimism and faith. We cannot remain hidden in the shadows of self-seclusion, fearful of getting sick and losing our lives.
The only one who has control over Life and Death is God, and only He knows when and how we are going to die. So do not waste any more of your time, turn off the TV, stop listen to or read any more negative news and go confidently out to the streets to live the life that corresponds to you fulfilling the Divine Plan that God has reserved just for you.
