Covid-19, Cororna virus, Chinese Virus.
Lots of funny posts on the facebook about this virus. Like how it should be named MadDog 2020 instead of Corona. Another encouraging those overbuying TP to also buy condoms so that they don't reproduce.
My thought on that one: Bold of you to assume that those people have a partner for sex.....
Hoarding TP and other groceries. I saw some pictures of people with their wagon loaded clear full of TP and others with 3 wagons tied together full of milk. (takes me a month to go thru half a gallon of milk)(and I usually pour half it out) Grocery store out of flour, sugar, oil, rice, gluten free bagels, TP. Restrictions on almost everything. This is an interesting time.
Interesting is a euphemism
People buying guns. "Stocking up" on ammo. Hand sanitizer, clorox wipes.
Social distancing. 6 feet apart, 4 per elevator, 10 people only per meeting and sit with an empty chair between you.
Restaurants closed to dine in: take out, delivery, drive through or curbside only. Guess what? There's still interaction. Money/credit card.......they're touching the food or package. You're still taking stuff into your house that may be infected. Or is it infectious? Whatever.
Guess what? none of that will really make a difference. The virus lives on hard surfaces WAY longer than initially thought. First they thought 3 days, and now they are thinking more like 2 weeks. The virus lives in the air for several hours. Pretty sure that an infected person doesn't have to cough to spread it, just breathing will [probably] put the germs into your airspace.
Picture yourself at the grocery store, you're pushing your wagon around, picking up stuff that you need. Proceed thru the check out line, and load the stuff in the car. OK, great. Answer this: when do you wash your hands? Before getting in the car? Before going in the house? Do you wipe each item with one of those wipes before going in? OR do you haul it in, put it away and then wash? Or maybe you don't wash at all, since it won't much matter?
Or you order some stuff from amazon or ebay or chewy or 100 other places. When do you wash it? Where do you "draw the line"?
I'm genuinely curious what the experts have to say about that....
Pelosi and other Democrats putting billions of dollars of political stuff into a stimulus package. (this coming after trying to impeach Trump for withholding aid to some shithole.....)(Democrats are withholding aid to Americans) $1200 per adult and 500 per kid. Those that are still working will find that to be a nice stipend. I wonder what the taxing rate will be on that.....
I wonder if the Sanders supporters, those that think socialism is wonderful will change their minds now that the government has taken control of everything, closed businesses, told us what to do and how to do it, and there's lines for stuff and shelves are empty?
I'm mostly staying home, just occasional trips to the grocery stores. My favorite liquor store is mostly closing, just delivery and "curbside pickup".
There are posts saying that no one should have to pay rent during the virus. Turn FB red for first responders. But landlords still have to pay the mortgage, insurance and taxes. And since people are staying home, first responders have nothing to do. "After this, nurses should have their student loans forgiven." NO, this is their job.
I'm not sure what the point of this blog post is about. I know it's not well written and it's jumbled and doesn't flow. But....I'm off work.
Dad said he enjoys reading these, "seldom though they are". :) sorry, Dad.
