Title: I'm confused....
Post by: ktheodos on December 13, 2020, 04:16:43 am
The amount of COVID cases are spiking, people are still struggling from the fallout of the pandemic, and yet, stores are packed and traffic is almost always crowded (except for early morning and/or late at night perhaps)....can someone explain what's going on?

What's going on? Life. People still have to go to work. People still have to go shopping for necessities. Sometimes you have to go to multiple stores to get all the stuff you need, since random things tend to be out of stock. And now it's the holiday season, so people are out shopping for gifts too, I suppose.

People are living their lives. How do you know that the stores are packed and traffic is always crowded unless YOU too are out and about?

Exactly. Not to mention we have been lied to.  People need to learn to do some research on their own and not just believe everything the media spoon feeds them.

I think you can keep living just need to be a little more diligent than in the past.

That's why I am happy to live in the country and live in a small community. I usually do Walmart pick up or go into the store during a weekday morning. It's doesn't seem as busy as other times. I always wear a mask, but so many people don't.

We call it living life with a 98% recovery rate for a virus.

I think one reason the number of cases are rising is because more people are taking the test.  I have also heard that if you take the test and have a cold or the flu it will show positive for covid.

I understand people might just "Be living their lives" but that's the exact thing that got us into this problem into the first place....I'm not suggesting we live in fear, but a little common sense and respect goes a long way (wearing masks, etc.)...I'm afraid we're already being gaslighted and not learning our lessons, which is exactly what many predict will happen

Yes, we do have to live, but what about the idiots who go out partying with other idiots where the Taverns are  packed and all without a mask.

There is a really good Twilight Zone episode that reminds me of whats going on in the world.

There are a bunch of people that survived the nuclear bomb.They are getting their instruction from an Old Man in a cave that tells them what they can eat or drink cos of the fallout from the bomb.

A bunch of soldiers come and take over and convince all the people to go destroy the Old Man in the cave and eat,drink and be merry.

There is 1 guy that was the peoples leader and he doesnt give in.Yes you guessed it...they all died except the leader.

The Old Man in the cave was a  computer that the soldiers convinced the people to destroy.

How about not going to that bar where the maskless "idiots" are, and going to another bar where there are masked "idiots"? An idiot is defined as a stupid person; someone lacking intelligence or common sense. Are you really that much smarter than the maskless idiots?

It's actually called freedom to choose here in America, not idiocy. If people feel safe wearing a mask, then they shouldn't have to worry if someone else is not wearing one since they're protected.  :highfive:

Doesn't that make sense?

Life goes on and we need food and other items.  Many activities are closed and that's a big problem for businesses and people that like to go out.

What is going on is that people are getting tired of all these random lockdowns and rules that makes no sense...
