Me personally, during this whole thing i have never felt any fear whatsoever regarding the virus. Yes this virus has taken out lots of people worldwide, but you know what else has, the flu. Each year worldwide, influenza kills 500,000 people every year. And that was from a google search i saw early on when. Funnily enough this statistic no longer shows up when you type in how many people die from influenza each year worldwide. What, did people just stop dying from the flu this year??
Its all BS, the fake corrupt media made this thing out to be the apocalypse, like it was the end of the world. Well it didnt take me out, im still here. And like the great DJT, i dont wear a mask when i go out.
I was worried that he would start wearing a mask during press brefings, thank goodness he is still the good old DJT i know and love. He like me cannot and will not wear a mask.
Mark my words, wordwide this virus is on its way down. Just look at countries all over the world, especially Italy, Spain and Britian that are now reopening thier countries.
Also, i have this belief that DJT will win re-election in a landslide and that whatever the media and Democrats try to do between now and November will blow up in their face.
Anger sums up my feelings for the last 5-6 weeks. Initially I could be described as fearful since we didn't know what the hell this thing would do, and because I have numerous elderly loved ones. However, now I'm just pissed off when I go into my local stores. Waiting in line and having to wear a mask just gets under my skin now. I respect the employees, but I can't help feel bothered when they give their little lecture as to these rules. Anger does not consume me all the time, but it does while I'm experiencing the so-called "new normal" which I understand to not be based on science, but instead it's all based on political correctness and sticking it ignorant Orange Man and his followers.
Nothing is based on science. You can walk on the beach, but not sit? Where is the science saying one is more likely to get the virus by sunbathing than by wandering around all over a beach walking? Where would one encounter more people? Walking or sitting off alone on a towel?
No, not science based or really based on anything. They attempted to justify the shutdown of the state parks here as required in part because they wouldn't have the resources to maintain things like trash pickup, etc., but that has proven to be a load of crap. I live next to a state park and I've seen more state parks employees over the last two months than I've ever seen. They have plenty of resources to put up and maintain their barricades and stand guard over park entrances. If anything they have the state parks employees working overtime to enforce the lockdown.
In MN our Governor has decided that some small business can reopen again. But not until MONDAY. Now, why Monday? What would be wrong with them opening Friday so they could have the whole weekend or Saturday? Or heck, why not today? No, Monday. Random and stupid and based on nothing. What data says it is going to make a bit of difference to the virus to wait and open next week v. a few days earlier? Now small business is closed another weekend, which does matter to their bottom line financially.
Governor Walz needs to go.
Here in Oregon they are mandating that any bar or restaurant that does open must stop serving all food and drink at 10 PM. Does the virus magically become more active after 10 PM? No, the "reasoning" the State gives is that in their infinite wisdom they believe that people will be more likely to disregard the "social distancing" and other edicts as the night wears on, especially if alcohol is involved. Never mind the fact that they forcing restaurants to stop serving all food and drink even if they don't serve alcohol.
This is simply authoritarian bullshit with no rhyme or reason. All Democrats need to go.
Having a hard time talking to my best friend about things we normally talk about. His job is in jeopardy if this continues. My job, while stressful right now, is essential and was never in jeopardy. While it won't likely be as good as last year, it'll still be a great year. I don't want to talk work, he doesn't either. We can't talk politics it's all doomsday shit. We can't talk about the Wuhan, he's got ChinaFlu exhaustion. We talked a bit about family. Lost/canceled vacations etc... Otherwise it was a bit like the weather... gloomy.
totally agree, at first I was like ok, this must be something bad, but now I feel like enough of this bullshit!
