Pandemic - Open States

I don't understand why people are against opening up the States.

Seriously, if you are afraid, you don't have to participate. Stay home. Just because we open up doesn't mean you have to leave your house. And personally, if you are fearful I would prefer that you do stay home. What you fear will surely happen to you.

Whatever magical date you feel safe living life again we will welcome you back. And that's what date you decide. Honestly, May 5th or May 16th won't be any different than today. There will still be people sneezing and coughing in restaurants. There will still be people who insist on going to work sick. There will still be people with bad hygiene. And there will still be fatal car wrecks.

Those of us who want to protect our Freedom totally respect your choice to stay home. We are not going to come to your home, harass you or send you crazy name-calling threatening messages (like the ones I've received).

Please return the same respect to us.

Pandemic - What I have learned

This so called “pandemic” has proven a few things about humanity to me.

Allow me to share:

1.        People tend to want what everyone else has.  Hoarding of toilet paper.  It seems it’s become a competition.  If someone makes jumping off a cliff seem cool or a necessity it appears that a multitude will blindly follow.

2.       People want what they can’t have. A mere suggested will send folks over the edge searching for something they can’t find.  Toilet paper sold out everywhere.  This reminds me of Christmas…a subliminal message from advertisers will send parents searching to the ends of the earth and sometimes paying more for that year’s “hot” toy.

3.        The media is using subliminal messages to retrain our thought process.  And people are falling for it.  These hot taglines are now being used by the public.  Up until now I avoid using these lines in my conversations, as I refuse to succumb to the “hot new trend”.  Lines like “Save lives, Stay home”, “Social Distancing” and the one I hate the most, “new normal”.   

4.       People will easily jump on the “bandwagon” without or little research of their own.

5.       Fear controls people.  If you never have understood why an abused woman stays in a relationship, you should now. 

If you didn’t believe in the power of the tongue to influence life and the atmosphere before, you should now, if not you haven’t been paying attention the human behavior. 

As always, the virus is real, stay safe, and take personal responsibility especially if you are high risk.
