Question #1: Why in the hell are schools and colleges closed?
Dirty Consciences, Pathetic Empty Lives
Hollywood famous people and the rich elite, who are the biggest polluters , the most flamboyant consumers of man-made goods, and contribute the most to the destruction of the planet's resources, are seeking cheap absolution by calling for "radical change in the world rather than "a return to normal" after the coronavirus lockdowns."
First off, they were never normal, and they would be whining and screaming like toddlers if they had to "radically change" and live like the rest of us. This is their anguished cry from a hollow soul that gobbled up everything and ended up with nothing of substance. These and others who scold us preach sacrifice, because in their own hearts, they know they have sacrificed and contributed very little. They gained fame and fortune, but it hasn't filled their God hole, so they mount their psychological projection podium and preach to those of us who don't need to hear it. Those of us living in the real world lead rich full lives working hard and sacrificing for ourselves and our families. Our pleasures are simple. They have no idea.
The Real Contagion
The polling continues to reflect the media narrative, and its easy to bash the president while applauding “the governors” and Dr Fauci. What specific actions has Fauci taken that were especially brilliant, saved lives or were heroically unique? Do people realize a blundering Governor Cuomo sent infected senior citizens into nursing homes and it ended up infecting and killing residents there?
“The opposition expressed by sizable majorities of Americans reflects other cautions and concerns revealed in the survey, including continuing fears among most people that they could become infected by the coronavirus, as well as a belief that the worst of the medical crisis is not yet over.”
Yes, you will become infected, and yes, the crisis will continue, if by that you mean people will continue to die. If you are under 65, you have little to worry about (those numbers at the beginning are based on known cases, not the entire population), and if you are a teenager, you have nothing to worry about.
Many Americans have been making trips to grocery stores and 56 percent say they are comfortable doing so. But 67 percent say they would be uncomfortable shopping at a retail clothing store, and 78 percent would be uncomfortable eating at a sit-down restaurant.
Illogical. What makes a clothing store more dangerous than the grocery store?
Gun stores are next, with 70 percent saying they should not be reopened, followed by barbershops and hair salons (69 percent opposed) and retail shops such as clothing stores (66 percent opposed) and golf courses (59 percent opposed).
More illogic. Golf courses??? How do four people socially distancing in an open field pose a threat to themselves or the public?
What makes a gun store, clothing store or restaurant more unsafe than a grocery store? You encounter the most touch surfaces and most people in a grocery store.
Media-Fomented Stupidity
What people are expressing, I think, is not a level of danger, but their risk calculation: They would risk going to the grocery store because they need food, but they would not risk going to a movie theater, and if stated like that, it is a logical calculation, but as usual, the Infotainment Media Complex makes a mushy hash of it.
Most disturbing is the mob rule in all of this: 70% of people are fearful, so they demand barber shops remain shuttered. If you’re fearful of a barber shop, stay away.
