Have you run into any COVID busybodies? I'd love to hear your stories and personal experiences. Post them here!
ROFL
As I went to the stores, like WalMart and Brookshire brothers you could see the Dems and the Republicans. The Dems wore masks and had the hand sanitizer on a string tied to their belts. The black Dems did have their masks under their noses for some reason as if virus doesn't go up your nose.
As We went to the various doctors, things got serious. They were mask NAZI's of course and only allowed one in and the other must wait in the car. What I noticed was they asked 40 questions about have you had a fever, cough, have you been around someone with a cough, have you left the county in the last 6 months, do you work at a meat packing company, and on and on. I was placed on my "X" that was 6 feet from the guy in front of me and I told them after he was allowed in the office that I knew for a fact that he lied on the questions. He was from a different county to just to get to this doctor. I myself came from another county to get this appointment. They went berzerk. I told them what if I lied on the questions, would you know? When they said no, I asked them "why ask then?" They couldn't give a cogent answer except we are supposed to ask. While waiting in line a man just walked past everyone with no mask or questions. He used an ungloved hand to open the door, past the woman with the hand sanitizer and was 50 yards inside the clinic before anyone could stop him. He wasn't happy and was cussing the young girls trying to keep up the illusion that this was a clean place. I saw several people hand files over to others and rub their hands on counter tops and door handles, pick up phones and type on keyboards .As I left the office, there were several people outside next to the building smoking with no masks and 1 ft apart.
I'm sure this happens every day to contaminate buildings no matter how clean they get it at night. Can you imagine a person with a 100 degree fever that coughs telling you that he has been isolated and has no sickness and doesn't know any sick people and hasn't left his home in a month trying to go to the doctor? I can assure you every word out of his mouth will be a lie. Also, imagine the look of a clinic worker turning away a man with a fever trying to get to a doctor. We have been literally turning away sick people to go home and infect everyone around them with no doctor to treat them. This is insane, IMO.
Meanwhile we go to WalMart and pick up cans that 2-3 people have handled, touch baskets that haven't been wiped, and handle money that hasn't been cleaned. It's all an illusion. If we could see the virus like a dust, you would lock yourself in a closet and hold your breath until blue. Even your mask must fit skin tight to even act like it helps. I was a medic in the military and can assure you this is all pretend.
IMO, we are all doomed to exposure before this year ends no matter how careful you think you are. You will either not have symptoms, get sick and then get well, or die if it's your time. They are saying it will last over summer and come back next year. What are the odds you will have perfect protection until next year ends? You would do better to loose weight, control your sugar, and stop smoking, than to worry that all your surfaces are clean.
“tape on the floor”
And that tape was on the floor in front of the driver’s seat. Can’t be too careful about other people crowding the driver.
I have relatives who have not come out of their house for 8+ weeks. They have a 4 year old son. They “allow” his grandmother to sit on the front porch, and talk to him through the screen door. These people will never live that down. Never...
Why do you drive on a parkway, but park on a driveway?
hey...thanks for the thread...I’m surprised this isn’t the longest thread of at least this week...
“I feel like a sheep using that stupid term “Social Distancing.”
I absolutely HATE that phrase, too, and I refuse to say it.
Yes, they are following the current rule. But they were CONDITIONED to be sheep and follow rules decades ago.
A couple of weeks ago, a lady with a mask on, in her car by herself with the windows rolled up and latex gloves on, pulled up next to me in the drive thru lane and rolled her window down to tell me I needed to wear a mask.
I calmly told her that just the night before, the county commissioners had voted that people no longer had to wear masks in public anymore. She looked confused and flummoxed and said I could be infecting people with the virus and she was going to report me. To whom I don't know. It's a rural area with no police, just an occasional sheriff's deputy. And I know all of them by their first names.
Nobody really enforces all of these "rules" out here in the country because most people know each other. And this county is not very high risk for the Covid-19 being contracted anyway. Last time I heard, we had 2 or 3 hundred cases total and only 2 or 3 deaths, all of those in the big city 40 miles away.
Of course, the county commissioners had not voted to allow the public to stop wearing masks when this lady confronted me. I made that part up. 😂
BTW, she had a Biden 2020 bumper sticker on her rear bumper. Wouldn't ya' know.....
“Nope. None whatsoever. I live in a Texas town not named Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, or Houston.”
Ditto.
As we say in Texas, Why don’t ya mind your own bidness.
“I live in Karenland ...so many snitches and watchers.”
That’s why I left. Texas is much more civil and quiet.
And they will. I will do all I can to help businesses stay back in business. If something as simple as me putting on a mask I will put on a mask. I don’t like them any more than anybody else but I will do it. If I can do it for my health in flu season I can do it to protect their business.
I’m in an extremely red county in a red state so we haven’t been hurt as much as blue states so it really disturbs me to see conservatives here so up in arms over masks. We don’t have many liberals locally so not any bullying from them.
The CDC says coronavirus 'does not spread easily' on surfaces or objects. Here's what we know.
by Joshua Bote, USA TODAY.
It’s because some people see wearing masks as wearing the uniform of subversive, traitorous, globalist elements in the US and across the world that would bring this country down in order to usher in their one-world socialist utopia, one regulation at a time.
The vast majority of the mask-wearers know not what they do and that’s part of what’s so bothersome about it. They’re just obedient sheep who value some imaginary level of “safety” over freedom. They are enabling and assisting those who would, and already have in some cases, taken away that freedom.
You have no worse chance of dying of covid-19 than you do from the seasonal flu. If you weren’t wearing a mask before the democrats told you to, then you shouldn’t be wearing one now. It’s part of the problem, not of the solution.
And you’re the one who threatened to put a fist in the face of anyone who questioned your mask. You sound like a real live and let live kind of guy.
Wow, that is awful.
I have not stayed locked down a single day. I’ve kept up my hiking around the San Francisco Bay and in the Santa Cruz Mountains three to five days a week without missing a day. For the first month, I had everything to myself! No cars, no traffic, no airplanes in the sky, no noise, no people on the trails. It was just wonderful!
The funny thing is I’m still alive, kicking and apparently healthy.
LOL...forgot about that old classic.
Sure...I don’t think we’ve had this topic before. Felt like it was long overdue. Lots of fun responses and stories, too!
Imaginary wall? She’s raising a street mime.
