I’m starting to be convinced we should just open it up and encourage everyone to have big coronavirus orgies. Have doorknob licking trains, funnel some beers, pass some joints around.
Between the absurd expectations of like 20% of the country, the total ignorance of another 20%, and the sheer stupidity of get another 50%, it’s just hopeless.
Like 50% are covidiots, right off the bat. Yeah, most aren’t packing heat outside the state house, but they’re swapping memes about the commie bastard lockdown and thumping their chest. One dude is ready to defy the law to go get motherfucking boardwalk fries. Grown ass motherfucking man, can’t go a month without boardwalk fries??? Dumbass doesn’t even comprehend that the French fry shop on the boardwalk is probably fucking closed cause NOBODY IS THERE. But he’s pounding his chest about how he’s going to drive 2 hours to get them and his commie (Republican) governor can’t stop him.
Another 20% don’t know shit, they’re just bored as fuck and/or broke as fuck. It’s hard to blame the broke ones, which is a lot of people. Checks in the mail may work when Steve Mnuchin says it to Joe Schmo, but Joe Schmo’s landlord/grocer/etc hears it, we’ve got problems. There are plenty of people ready to snap who aren’t quite smart enough to figure the risks. I get it. I want to do various things, I just understand the risks aren’t worth it.
Another 20% were sold a bill of goods on 15 Days, just kidding 30 Days to Slow the, just kidding open it up and ensure the spread. Like they’re sick and tired of it. Most of these people feel totally invincible. There’s no talking to them. It’s just the flu, it’s 1968, they didn’t shut down in 1918, they just want to go grab a beer with the boys or hit the gym or go to a game. It’s been too long, are we there yet? How bout now? Now? When are we going to be therrrree? Some think there’s no play but to go back to normal and the wait is not to flatten the curve, it’s to get people to realize we have to open up.
Maybe with a competent president we could sell people on another 30 days to ramp up testing, but we’re not even ramping up testing.
It’ll obviously be state by state, but even then, what’s the point? People will cross state lines. Georgia is open and covidiots are flocking over from all the neighboring states. How long til jackasses from the northeast start flying to Georgia or Florida to live their best life? The open cases will export outbreaks to the closed states, which will be a whole new clusterfuck. Sorry, Philly/Boston/NYC, we were almost ready to open but Johnny and his friends went partying in Atlanta and now 100 people have COVID and we’ve gotta stay closed two more weeks. That’ll go over reallll well.
Might as well just open it all the way up and watch the bodies pile to the sky. Maybe when they block out the sun we can try again.
Seriously, nobody read 2p2 or Facebook. ItS tHe FlU iTs ThE fLu ItS tHe FlU.
We are all so so so so so so so so so so so fucked. We had a window to do this right, it’s long gone. It was in March, and it required UBI. Even Mitt Romney knew it but he’s a left wing commie by American standards, so that was a no go.
California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii have a chance. The Northeast has a chance for a while, til we start importing cases like crazy from the Southeast. But like 45 states are just going to be off to the races soon.
Just hope we get long term immunity, because we’re going for it.
