Watched an HBO show called Gary Goldman: The Great Depresh. Not exactly a gut buster but funny enough. Good insight into a person with severe depression who’s generally able to overcome it, talk about it openly and honestly, and get a laugh or two in the process. I understand some of his other material is a lot funnier. |

How many died AFTER the lockdown and never went back to work or shopping? How many cases were people that washed vigorously and religiously and sanitized? How many people had kids? How many worked as essential workers? How many were in high risk work (a friend that is an electrical inspector for the city encounters DOZENS of different people every day) vs people who worked with the same 4 or 5 people day in and day out? There are dozens of questions that aren't asked and it is my FIRM belief it is because it REALLY doesn't matter. If they don't rank particular common threads or rank exposure risks, then they can make the risk as big as they want and it can't be disputed. Again, at the risk of repetition...I work with 25 people and I go out t get lunch each day to about a half dozen places. I see the same people in my office and the same people in the drive thru. I have about a half dozen - dozen people I interact with on Facebook, many here and at the other place. I make an assumption that I am reasonably typical in that circle of communication, with each person I communicate with. Yet in that entire network of my 40 people, and each of my close friends 40 people, I think I know of ONE case that is a friend of a friend, that has had it and got over it and NO ONE that has died. I began to wonder whether the number is even real. I mean seriously, it's not like they scroll names every evening of that day's victims and even if they did, NO ONE knows all of them. For all we know there could be 10,000 deaths. Who would EVER know? Yeah it's sounds whacko, but what about this situation DOESN'T sound whacko? Bill Gates the Microsoft guy - Vaccine expert Greta Munchkin - Covid public speaker on CNN Fauci, who hasn't had an actual patient in two decades, painting constant doom and gloom The CHINESE selling US masks for THEIR virus Centers for the Arts getting emergency COVID funds I could go on and on, but this is theater of the absurd and to see EVERYTHING they have gotten WRONG, will not allow me to follow their instructions. If I gave you directions to my house and you passed the same gas station 4 times, tell me you'll just go "Oh well, this is the way he said to go" and make another 5 loops around? I sure hope not. I hope you'd say Fk this, I'm not doing anything until someone gets their shit together. If the captain of a sinking boat tells you the way to keep it afloat is to set it on fire...who the hell would listen? I hope NO ONE would. |

Agreeing with both sides is nothing more than being reasonable

I do know that most of the clinics around here closed their doors. No procedures, etc.... so, no colonoscopies, no breast exams, no dermatology visits, no dentist.
Just like my chemo, the cure almost killed me, not the cancer. |

Can you do anything? Yep. Take reasonable precautions. It’s not overly burdensome IMO. I’m lucky enough not to have missed work and no major impacts from the virus or lockdown. Inconvenienced a little, but nothing more. YMMV |

Cases and hospitalizations on the rise since we entered phase 2. Interested to see where this is going.
People are morons. Never seen so many people not cover coughs, not wash hands etc. Despite all the education on infection control, some dumb asses refuse to practice basic hygiene. Had a “special” one this am. Pink and blue dyed hair type that was angry about wearing a mask .... as she proceeded to cough and made no attempt to cover. I’m just DONE with low information types. |

What people fail to accept is if they jump back into normalcy without being smart about it, we could easily be back where we were 2 months ago and the opening up could get reversed.

I am not a fear monger, nor am I more “afraid” than I ought to be, but a second wave is what I expect. A worser one than the first.
