Today marks a full year, according to Premier Biden, since the institution of the infamous “Flatten the Curve,” AKA The Deep State’s Plot to Drive Us Crazy, Make Us Stupid, and Take Over the World (in order to make the world safe for China to take it over).
15 days, they told us, for 15 days/roughly two weeks we need to work from home, close non-essential business, cancel concerts, baby showers, cat shows, etc., yada, yada, you know “the thing” (to show my solidarity with a certain awe-inspiring president) in order to give hospitals a chance to gear up for huge, terrible, overwhelming waves of ‘rona patients.
15 days.
Instead, 15 days has now become ONE FULL YEAR! I repeat, ONE FULL YEAR! Or 24.3 sets of 15 days.
I had been punctuating the day marker from the first day I began working from home, Friday, March 13th, in absence of any “official” date. But now that Uncle Joe has determined March 11th was the official start date of Operation Curve Flattening, I will comply and go along with that in the interest of getting everyone on the same page on this.
Besides, if I am going to go to a gulag, going against the State on the start date of Operation Curve Flattening is not a good reason to go to a gulag over. There are better hills to die on.
I am actually glad that Biden is going with today as the anniversary date, as I am going to be busy tomorrow and Saturday.
I have a feeling this is the only thing Biden ever does for which I will be glad.
We deliberately patronize businesses wherein the workers are not wearing them. We don’t begrudge the chain businesses, but if they’re militant about it (i.e. Target), we avoid them. It’s a little heartening to hear stories from other states to remind me how good we have it here in FL.
You came fairly close to suffering the same fate as blue states. DeSantis only won by ~30K votes or so. I would expect the margin to be a bit larger in 2022..
