LA City has just upgraded their lockdown, as they've been threatening to do for several days. The new order says everyone must stay home, and not travel at all, even by walking. There are however 12 pages of exceptions so you can still go to your essential job, buy weed, do your Christmas shopping, get groceries, go to school, or do outdoor fitness.
I heard about this on the radio. with all the exceptions that have been craved out, why bother calling it a lockdown when most people can still do whatever they want without consequence? (/rhetorical)
Nice little scorecard of all the subhuman cunts who told you to stay in your pod and shut down your business while they had a good ol' fucking time for themselves.
And these are probably the same people that can't understand why people in their areas seem unwilling to obey COVID directives or actively push back against them. There's only so much "Rules for thee, not for me" that people will tolerate before they decide enough is enough.
Anyone else utterly fucking had it with people trying to persuade them this isn't all lies?
TBH,
@Fliddaroonie, I'm frustrated with both extreme sides of COVID. In one corner, we have the people who deny COVID exists and believe people aren't really sick or sick with something else. That's a hard sell to people that have seen friends, family, or college fall ill to -- or die from -- COVID.
In the opposite corner, we have the hardcore doomers who think anyone that catches COVID will die as if the virus is somehow terminal. The fact that fatality rates generally hover within 1% of total cases plus or minus a small epsilon doesn't register with them. Facts and logic mean nothing so long as cases stay up and there's still fatalities being reported.
It's frustrating and exhausting, and I just wish it'd be all over soon.
If you find the answer, let me know. My boss is panicking over this shit (the same one that doesn't wear a mask but also claims that I'm a conspiracy theorist because I point out shit that doesn't add up).
Kind of funny how that works out. I've seen people in one breath claim they won't let their kids attend in-person or hybrid learning sessions if it's deemed unsafe while allowing friends and neighbors over without any sort of precautions. The duality of people's thinking and decision-making is really something sometimes.
Other then the bullshit preventive measures. One couldn't tell there was a world ending coof.
What post-COVID medical appointments I've had have this year have been similar. Upon sanitizing your hands and passing the temperature/health screening check, everything beyond that point is as ordinary or usual as it was before COVID. The only exception was my physical where the doctor had me wash my hands before I left the examination room.
I mean, will it? At what point, do you ladies and gents see the wheels coming totally off the narrative and people standing up and saying "no. Fuck off. This is a lie"?
Although we're seeing small pockets of pushback, I realistically don't see any sort of a large-scale pushback because too many people being educated in the SocJus era lack the necessary critical thinking skills and they've also had it drilled into their heads that questioning certain people is never acceptable.
Expect to see a lot more of this soon. Americans are a lot more impulse and own a lot more guns than the Japanese.
There's also the fact that too many parents mollycoddle their kids to protect them from any sort of adversity and fail to teach them any sort of coping skills. As much as I hate to say this, i can't help wondering if we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Asking kids to refrain from any sort of leisure activites for months at a time is devastating to them and hurt their social development.
Imagine being so scared of a pandemic you try to get a health care provider fired.
This is one example of many why cancel/call-out culture sucks and why emplyers shouldn't give into these demands if at all possible.
