Enough is enough! If we don’t open up the country we’re going to destroy our way of life. When a woman here in Florida is turned down for unemployment, after being let go because of Covid-19, and now has no way of feeding her 3 children, something is wrong! I wonder if they’re totaling up the number of people dying of starvation because of this crap?
When two doctors out in California, who are specialists in caring for patients with Covid-19, announce this virus is hyped up for no reason and they see no reason why we should quarantine and then their video is removed from Youtube, there is a serious problem.
Granted, President Trump is the one who recommended the shut down after being advised by Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx. However, who knows where these two doctors priorities lie.
Our civil liberties are being violated. Our citizens are locked up like prisoners and never in the history of this country have healthy people been put in lock up to keep other people safe. As I have previously stated, I’m immune compromised and it is MY responsibility to keep me safe.
We’re six weeks into this here and let me tell you, it’s B.S. Jobs are scarce as hen’s teeth and depression is high. People throughout the country are being harassed, arrested, & threatened for being outside, far from other people. In some places, they can’t buy products that are considered “non-essential. Some can’t even go out in their yards.
Today, a friend on Facebook was freaking out about businesses wanting to reopen. Her husband is an over the road trucker and she is ranting about people wanting to get haircuts, manicures, eat out and drink. She told the masses how selfish they are being and hoped that some of them lost people to the disease so they’d know how dangerous they are being. I was pissed. I replied that those who are wanting to get back to normal are perfectly acceptable; because starving people who have lost jobs want to eat. It’s easy for those who still have an income to bitch about it all when they are not standing in food lines and have no money to pay for rent, lights or other essentials.
Common sense says that those who are in danger need to protect themselves. Common sense is lost to those who are still reaping the benefits of a pay check. If killing people by starvation isn’t reminiscent of past wars overseas, I don’t know what does.
My mother, my best friend, and many loved ones have compromised health and we have all come away with our common sense intact and wish to see the country back open after this horrible shut down. If we take responsibility for our own lives, then why can’t we just continue living, social distancing, and being safe. No need to keep others out of work in order to keep us safe. Of course, common sense is truly lacking these days.
I wish you all well. Stay safe.
