It’s become ridiculous.
I find it funny that I have to wait in tight line at home depot, to get in a wide open store (where I’m now safe).
I find it funny that everyone is wearing masks, when they haven’t been proven to actually work.
I find it funny that I can’t go to a local sit down restaurant I like, but I can go to the liquor store (because its essential, somehow).
I find it funny that the people who have been preaching “support local” have been also preaching “stay at home, wear a mask and don’t go out”. While, the big box stores that they somehow hate, are thriving, because their local competition can’t take customers and are going out of business.
I find it funny that the people who are liberal are preaching safety while the people who actually have something to lose are preaching opening up.
I find the whole thing funny. This virus, somehow only transfers to things deemed “not essential”
I’m fucking done playing the game. Common sense, is the actual problem here.
I have 70+ year old inlaws that I truly love. I’m concerned about their safety.
Me? I’m not afraid of this shit at all.
I’m smart enough to keep the 2 apart. I can make that decision myself. If I get the covid, I’ll keep my in-laws safe. If they get it, I like the percentages enough I’ll still be safe enough, to take care of them.
Numbers are my worst subject, but I can add up these numbers. Fuck, Ray Charles could see this:
In 1968, a million people were killed by the hong Kong Flu. Nobody really noticed. Certainly, noone shut down everything.
In 1956, the Asian flu killed 2 million. No-one wore masks, and no one shut down private enterprise.
Hell, in 2018 — the flu killed 20-50 million. Show me proof that anyone noticed in the US, let alone shut the whole fucking thing down.
This isn’t the bubonic Plague. Yes, its more contagious than the normal flu, but it’s not nearly as deadly as society is making it out to be. I’m not dumb. I’ll take my chances, and the chances of those around me.
Something is seriously wrong here. I’m not playing the game anymore. Yes, I’m more conscious of washing my hands, but i’m more conscious of local business I love that arent going to survive the fear and end up shutting down, and then I’ll end up taking my wife to breakfast in the morning at wal-mart.
If you’re frightened of the Coronavirus, then stay home. If you’re not, let freedom ring. Everything in-between, you’re smart enough to figure out. We all know the rules by now.
Yeah, I’m done playing.
