Our public officials hate normal - it gives too much agency to individuals. They really like this new normal a lot better. I can't even imagine a scenario in which a Democrat official would be willing to say: "The crisis is over, now - everybody in our state is free to resume their previous activities."
I expect certain cities will remain "closed" permanently.
Amen. Thanks for posting this.
How did the panic and terror take hold? Via television programming aka mind-control; intentionally served to the unwashed masses.
I’m not in fear. Unfortunately, we are in the minority. If I were king the kids would be playing summer baseball, going to MLB games,men and women would be drinking in bars and restaurants, we’d even have a normal economy. Isn’t that all scary? No masks? What a bunch of losers our country has become!
Those who are young will get over it in five minutes once the pandemic is over. Let's hope that they REMEMBER their fears and tears.
Those who are older and not particularly mature will weep and wail. When the pandemic is over they will NOT forget but will HOLD ON to the fear for as long as they can. THEY are to be greatly pitied.
There ought to be a BALANCE when dealing with the news media.
There ought to be SOME memory of what FAILURES our media have been.
They rant and they rave.
Then ALL OF A SUDDEN they moon and swoon.
There is a grinning fool of a newscaster where I live. I just want to SMACK her: ranter/raver; mooner and swooner.
Remote control. My engineer husband MADE one for me when we were first married. It was a simple wire from the back of the T.V. to a small box in my hand with an "off" and "on" switch. SO SIMPLE, so wonderful.
I don't AIM the remote at the grinning fool or at anyone. I AM past that.
