MIND BOGGLING

Sorry folks but this is going to be a rant.  So if you don't like rants please feel free to not read.  And if you totally disagree with me, feel free to let fly in the comments.

It's about all the people that just can't either stay home or keep their walking to their neighbourhood.  I can't believe what a bunch of babies our society is.  They can't comply with the health admins orders.  And the only way, THE ONLY WAY, this virus spreads is by people getting too close to people.  

Of course, prisons, hospitals, old folks homes...it would be hard to keep it from spreading in those places.  But the general public?  I see people that just HAVE to go to the beach.  That just HAVE to go to the parks.  That just HAVE to go running on public pathways full of people.  That just HAVE to ride their freaking bikes.  Every time someone goes off into the hills or woods on bike trails, they risk an accident that then involves rescue people and puts them at risk.  If you want to hurt yourself go ahead...but don't ask rescue people to come save your ass.  Oh yeah thats right...it won't happen to you right?  It frigging makes me mad.

I was just reading some articles...about how people are getting 'frustrated' because they can't have their weddings, family reunions, PNE's, pot smoking events, music festivals etc...I think they don't understand that until there is a vaccine there is no safe time or place to go out.  And I can see the powers that be are being very very careful to NOT make that statement but are dribbling out tiny little tidbits of things that might restart soon.  All because we are a society of spoiled brats that don't like doing what we are supposed to. 

 Well not everybody.  A lot of people are doing exactly what's being asked of them and that is fantastic.  They are staying home.  They are keeping their walking within their neighbourhood. They aren't out hiking in the mountains and getting lost.  They aren't out biking trails and getting into accidents. The credit for the progress we have made completely goes to those that STAYED HOME AND IN THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD.

I am sure this might piss some people off.  But I know just too many people that I love that probably wouldn't survive if they became infected, myself included.  I do not want myself or them to become your selfish collateral damage.

Be safe out there....TTYL

If you really disagree with my opinion just read about Alert Bay.  Thanks to people, visitors, who wouldn't stay away, as asked, half the place is infected now, including the mayor.  If the visitors had stayed home all those people would not be sick.

  1. Its beyond frustrating! People are bitching and whining and protesting worse, many are insisting the virus is “no big deal, 95% recover”. What about the other 5%??? And of course they know more than the experts. Maddening...
