She's been. 4 alarm covidiot for a year now. I figured since she ran out and got the vaccine and so did her pansy husband, her psychosis might calm down soon. Instead, she invited me to go to the zoo with my kids and hers... I drove an hour to get there... Only to get a call from her, insisting that we go somewhere else because the zoo is "too crowded." I basically told her I'm not telling my 4 year old that we can't go. I even told her we could stay outdoors... That still isn't good enough... Even though she's been vaccinated. She starts being all dramatic about not wanting her kids to get sick. (Her almost 7 year old son has known nothing but virtual school because she refuses to send him, even though their schools are open.) I basically told her she is being ridiculous and I'm not going to stop living life just because she's scared, and hung up on her. That might sound bad but I figured I'd say something really bad if I didn't get off the phone.
I've had stories about her here before and have been told I need better friends. I suppose I do. I'm just not one to toss a 12 to 13 year old friendship easily. I still can't say I'll never see her again but I just can't handle the stupidity anymore. The reality is that these stupid brainwashed tyrants should just seclude themselves from society until they gain some sanity. No one else should be forced to do anything to "protect" them from their delusions.
In March I thought the pandemic was real. It was evident by the end of April that it was not real. I gave the benefit of the doubt to people. I did however stop talking to all liberals. I can still be friendly, but I'm not associating with anyone that can't figure out the election was stolen.
Same like.
In December when it was still in... Chyna And they were building shitty hospitals and spraying sanitizer and droning people inside and showing clips with hazmat suit mother fuckers I was all like.. Well - here we fucking go.
So when it started in new york I was like shit y'all gg. The. It finally made its way around to good ole texas and my ex army ranger uncle was going full prepped mode and gloving up and what not so I was like alright let's be cautious here.
They had the whole debate for about a week about masks. Trump was like chilllll y'all. Around toilet paper and meat factory shut down time I was like.. alright yeah man a fucking mask probably doesn't do shit but sure. Hand sanitizer yeah right not doing shit but I'll take some anyway. Why not? Seems we are all about to be fucked regardless was my mindset.
Well then everyone started to get the shit. I watched the vectors. I gossiped. It started 3 steps removed. 2 steps removed. All ok. Family got it. All ok. Hospitals near me maintained beds. Got close. But it was all good. Finally my fiance and I got it almost a year later since it started in December and I was like... Well damn this shit sucks but I've had worse. I literally would rather have covid than strep throat.
Now everyone is still reeeeeeeeing about masks and I'm just like... This shit is literally nothing. It has attacked so many already. Everyone I know, everyone in my family and me and my family. Everything was OK👌
It's not that bad. The people that died, and I'm sorry to say it in a way but they had to have died because either they went to the hospital and the hospital either straight up malpracticed them because of their stress. Or the were already so bad off that anything would have put them in their ass. Or they got the double whammy and had it, went to hospital acquired MORE shit from the nasty hospital and also were neglected at the hospital.
I believe the pandemic is a thing. I believe the virus is its own thing and can dick you around. But I believe the deaths are inflated, the cases are inflated. I believe the deaths are because of a failing of our own healthcare system basically having a 'bank run' and collapsing more than the "lethality" of the virus.
Then the question becomes - why does the government keep utilizing and inflating the lethality of the virus to administer control rather that admit the shortcomings of our (not the best) healthcare systems for rural communities. Our dumb fat ghetto nursing assistant that cheat off each other in community college and then bitch about their jobs daily. Our apathetic burnt out doctors who have had to deal with too much medicaid recipients. Etc.
The issue was not the virus.
It was a shortcoming of america, and we all knew it. Our healthcare systems suck. Our healthcare professionals are net held to high standards. Their training is not the rigorous. And too many people basically have to steal medical services so doctors don't give a fuck about actually helping people. Our doctors are like shitty jaded mechanics at this point just diagnosing and churning people through to say they did something for the day. It's ghetto. Ghetto healthcare everywhere.
This is not a call for socialized healthcare this is more of a call for us to improve the standards of our healthcare facilities and professionals. But we can't. Because they push idiots through to meet the demand for nursing and healthcare. Their literally isn't enough to pay the smart 10% that would do a proper job to take care of the 90%. And those 10% go and do something other than healthcare that pays more.
All the while our book learned teachers are trying to essentially take a strike from their jobs.
That's all a mess.
Coronavirus itself is nothing compared to the real fucking dilemma.
Trump was the great messenger.
The virus was the illuminator.
The thinkers among us are seeing what is really going on and the other 75% are going be gnashing their teeth. However I think the idea right now too is to get the thinking ones isolated into their own little bubble so they can be struck into their own little demographic and then into a pseudo caste that exists outside regular society. Which is also a win for the government. The worst is to have the thinkers spreading their thoughts amongst the converted.
Do you want the guy telling everyone the earth revolves around the sun to be in your church, or do you want him ousted and living in the woods - if you are trying to keep your lie alive?
It's not a pandemic though. It's more like flu season.
Big tech has been used to silence everyone, so I don't think they're too worried about people getting the word out. I got thoughtfully and carefully explain how all of this works to my co workers and they would just brush it off as right wing conspiracy because that's what CNN says it is.
We have people that are worefully stupid. They are loyal to the state no matter what and will believe what the media tells them no matter what. Not even the Soviets had a state media this good.
