SATURDAY PANDEMIC UPDATE


 NEWS AND OBSERVATIONS

TO STAYTHEFUCKATHOME OR NOT STAYTHEFUCKATHOME - THAT IS THE QUESTION


Getting sick and tired of my harping on this subject every fucking day? Well, so am I! Who would have ever thought we would be dealing with people who are so stupid that they don't understand how important social distancing is.
I have, however, put various topics into sections and if you don't want to hear any more about something - skip it.

This reminds me of the idiots who were ordered out of New Orleans prior to Katrina yet ignored the orders and DIED!

The US needs more of this...

If you don't think this is justifiable cause for fear then you haven't been paying attention.

And don't forget these people are scared to death...
BUT THEY STILL DO THEIR JOBS! 
===

Remember - in the years ahead you will be asked what you did to HELP during the pandemic. Will you have to lie?

Imagine doing that to a child's mind. How very, very sad.
As a general rule, I'm of the impression that people should be left to their own devices. The government should leave people the fuck alone. That is until they hurt others. To me, this makes 100% perfect sense. I think most would agree. In the case of anti-vaxxers, they are undoubtedly hurting others. This conspiracy theory spreads - somewhat ironically - like a virus.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP


I do not hate Donald Trump. I just want him to listen to the experts and make rational policy.


I do think he is in way over his head with the pandemic. Granted it is a mammoth problem, and that's why he must listen to the experts and to stop worrying about his reelection.


I don't blame Trump for who chooses to support him.

These nurses are reading the names of colleagues who died of COVID-19 in protest outside the White House. 

They don't have enough PPE. Congress and the White House won't pass mandates to enact an emergency temporary standard to protect health care workers.

I don't think he deliberately tries to kill people. I do believe he is just smart enough to know what is going on.

My sister-in-law has forbidden my brother from watching the news. He doesn't have a strong heart and he yells and screams so much that she fears for his health. I do the same thing. Mostly I get upset over the blatant inconsistencies that are the worst way to respond to this crisis.

Oh, look, here's a new chapter in the Trump Book of Stupidity


Hello darkness my old friend...
 LISTEN TO THIS PLEASE

It’s okay everyone! Trump now says that he was being sarcastic. All better now, nothing to see here.

The internet DOES NOT think he was just being sarcastic. Here are some responses.

I'm not a doctor, but I'm a person who has a good...you know...

LISTEN TO THIS HILARITY

And silliness ensued...

TAKING NAMES, MAKING A LIST

Maybe yes, maybe no. The juries are still out on that one.

Nice idea but a little too close for me...

PERSONAL UPDATE
Not sleeping too well. Nightmares mostly. But I can catch up with mid-afternoon naps.
I drove my cart all the way to the library to return several books on tape and the return bins are closed up. I knew they have forgiven all late fees but it was still a wasted trip.
Drove by many shops that were open. Our governor has taken the lead. I really hope he's right but I seriously doubt it.
Making oyster Rockefeller tonight, so we have that going for us.
Stay safe, Gentle Reader.

I only listen to "experts" when they're espousing their "expertise". When "experts" go out of their realm and talk about public policy, I turn a deaf ear.

We've already gone through this in 1918. All pandemics call for similar drastic action.
