My aunt has friends like this, except they’ve gone maskless when they get together with each other.
She told them what Fauci is saying about the three doses, and they are fine with that.
They think she is crazy for not getting the vax. She is afraid they will stop hanging out with her. She’s thinking about getting new friends.
Now, mind you, these same people voted for Trump and think he was cheated.
I don’t get how they see one thing and don’t see how they are being played on the other.
I dunno. This whole thing is nuts...I live in Florida, where none of this stuff is required state-wide, but individual cities and counties have their own indoor restrictions, although enforcement usually depends on the business in question. We had only a relatively brief restriction on indoor dining, and now many restaurants in my town(s), Jacksonville and St. Augustine, have gone back to 100% occupancy, and all of our businesses are open. The only group not working is public school teachers, who, despite the fact that our Catholic, other religious and most private schools are open and the teachers are not dropping dead at their desks, refuse to return to work (because, according to their union, “DeSantis is sending them to their deaths”).
The big problem is the young people. They not only wear masks outdoors, now they’re wearing two masks, sometimes with a plastic face shield. And even though virtually all of the over 65 population has been vaccinated, most of them twice, that apparently is not enough to calm the Millenials down and they keep telling Granny that she’s going to die if they breathe in her presence. Therefore she has to be locked up. Most of the nuttiest pro-mask, pro-lockdown population is composed of people 40 and younger, probably the vast majority with one or two college degrees.
They really drank the Kool Aid, but of course these people have been brought up on leftist TV and big tech hysteria. But how are we going to deprogram them? Even when their own teenage children are committing suicide out of fear and despair and isolation, they perkily keep defending this insanity.
