In just less than 20 minutes it will be 200 days since the institution of the infamous Flattening the Curve. Two weeks, they told us, for two weeks we need to work from home, close non-essential business, cancel concerts, baby showers, bingo games, etc., yada, yada, you know the thing (to show my solidarity with a certain presidential candidate) in order to give hospitals a chance to gear up for huge, terrible, overwhelming waves of rona patients.
Two weeks.
Instead, two weeks has become 200 days. We can argue as to the exact start date of the implementation of Operation Curve Flattening. I am punctuating it from the first day I began working from home per the guidelines in my state. I am still working from home. What do I think of working from home? Well, I Nevermind.
I digress.
Yeah, some states have more or less gotten back to normal, I guess. A couple states were always normal. But the vast majority of states are still in some state of bizarro world. Flattening the curve, I have come to realize, is really about flattening the IQ bell curve. Maybe it always was flat.
The vast majority of the people in the U.S. are idiots who are eagerly allowing themselves to be ruled by nimrods, or worse. There, Ive said it. Ill say more. One is a freaking 100% bona fide super moron whose brain is full of maggots if one doesnt get it by now that we have been played and the world is the not world we have been brought up to believe it is. Many articles have been posted on FR about the stupidity of this cronyvirus situation and the hypocrisy of our leaders. I should know, Ive posted my share, probably more than my share Im sure many will say.
These articles have shown us that governors test positive, then test negative. So too do many athletes. Other governors and politicians test positive, but like many ordinary people, never get sick. Congresswomen do not wear masks when getting their hair done, despite being in favor of mandatory masks for the peasants. My personal favorite: Dr. Fasci first told us masks were not necessary. Then said masks are necessary and that he told a little, whittle white lie in March and April in order to save masks for medical personnel when they were scarce. But he also said we can wear homemade cloth masks, which we could have done in March and April if its so f*cking vital we wears masks.
DeWine issued mask mandate using CDC study that a mask mandate for 4-6 weeks would cuts the spread enough to get back to normal. Its been 9 weeks.
Enough!
Mass. has some loosening of restrictions going into effect but wait, many communities won’t get that because of a number of positive cases. The Boston Globe has a map showing communities in grey, green, yellow, and red..going from less to more severe..and cities like Boston and Worcester are definitely red.
For some areas this weekend features some
restrictions that will magically go away
on Monday. But still, as you enter or leave a restaurant you must wear a mask but you can take if off while eating—getting up to use the restroom, put that mask back on or ELSE!!!
Maskachusetts.
Visiting Penn this summer as I went to different areas I had to heed the counties in green, yellow, or red. There were local stipulations.In Allegheny county, no restaurant dining either inside or outside (2 week order).But a friend from Westmoreland county joined me at a place there and we could eat inside a restaurant.
national corporate mask mandates is the huge problem here
Walmart and other big chains are keeping people spun up
meanwhile I have been able to save money because I hesitate to shop
the maskerade is not my cup of tea
AND prayers up for our President and beautiful first lady
Those covid maps look like election results maps.
We have 1000s of people from St Loius area, the hotspot of the state, come here every weekend for recreation and they don’t wear masks here because the locals don’t wear masks. Seems like they would have caused a covid outbreak here by now but it hasn’t happened.
Could it be that politicians, medical and nursing home workers, lab workers in conservative areas vs leftist areas have something to do with it?
Could it be that leftists are - incompetent, negligent, fraudulent, liars, schemers, #RESIST movement type of people that are pumping up or falsifying the numbers?
I know Trump wanted to be the hero but signing a bill where fedgov gives $14,000 to states for each covid case was stupid.
WITH covid is not the same as OF covid. Every corpse is getting that swab shoved up their nose, regardless of initial/real cause of death and there’s a lot of false positive in some types of tests. It’s a helluva racket.
