RE: Corona Virus Update: I'm Sick and Tired! (Ulog No. 54)
I 100% agree! Schools closing down or going online only?! I have a friend who lives thirty miles away across state lines and teaches art in a college. Her ART CLASS has to go online (how on earth does one teach that?!) with two days notice, and she has been told that if she crosses state lines she must quarantine herself for 14 days! This is absurd.
Go out for dinner at a Chinese restaurant. You will be the only people there. Parking will be a breeze.
Very funny sign!
Thank you for remaining sane. We need more of you.
Well, as a followup, the governor of Washington has now dialed it up one more notch and banned any and all gatherings involving 50 or more people, and all non-grocery or non-pharmacy stores have to close... indefinitely. Eating establishments can only be open for to go food... no more eat-in option.
That said, the underlying idea of "flattening the curve" of the spread of the illness does make a lot of sense... if the emergency rooms at hospitals are not flooded with new cases, it's more likely that everyone will actually get the care they need.
NYS has limited us to gatherings of TEN, all restaurants can only do take out but CAN provide you with a cocktail etc to go with that. This is all insane. It's a bad cold. Are we going to do this every time a bad cold is going around? How about some of the 800 BILLION that was just earmarked for this go to looking for correlations between the deadliness of this cold and 5G?
I'm only staying home because there is nowhere to go.
As much as anything, I think all the fear we're seeing is a result of (individuals within) broader society having lost its own belief in its ability to deal with adversity.
I will not for a moment deny that COVID-19 is a serious illness, but the responses are ridiculous. It's like when I was a little kid, we'd play outside in the dirt, ride our bikes without helmets or pads, eat snails and leaves off the trees... and we're still alive. Now we have to take so many precautions it's INSANE, just to get from our house to the mailbox to check the mail.
We knew how to fight a virus back then. We expected to feel very sick, would probably have quite a fever, got in bed and suffered for three days, then started to feel better. We did not go to doctors, we did not worry. We knew we would be fine. We have forgotten even this simple understanding of healing ourselves of a natural virus.
If it IS a bio terror organism, we ought to stop freaking out about the virus and identify who or what has released this thing, because the true danger lies there.
In either case, regarding our very bodies as poisonous, our clothing, our hands, all surfaces in our homes is really just all part of the hypnotic content we have been fed. We are not the poison. I refuse to accept that lie.
Thanks for listening. Since NYS is under extreme social isolating measures, I have a lot of time to think.
