But not everyone is racing back.
Their stories are emerging as the world begins to reopen — people secretly dreading each milestone toward normalcy, envisioning instead anxiety-inducing crowds and awkward catch-up conversations. Even small tasks outside the home — a trip to the grocery store, or returning to the office — can feel overwhelming.
The folks with a latent phobia or a psychosis had been conditioned to accept new events or situations, through regular life. Now that their societal enforced situations have been negated from their existence; their phobias will come roaring back to engulf them. They won't be able to function. Those are the folks that I am afraid have been hurt the most from all this covid theater
ReplyDeleteThe only thing we have to fear is our own stupidity.
ReplyDeleteI worry about what this is doing to children. Screw the adults who believe this bullshit.
ReplyDeleteThe day I first saw a person in a car, alone, windows rolled up, wearing a mask, methodically spritzing a liquid on one hand then the other and everything they touched, repeatedly, I realized this was becoming a mental health crisis. That was during the '15 days to flatten the curve'.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see addressed the increase in suicide, scrips for anti-depressants, divorce, counseling, etc.
Wrought by the power-lusting miscreants in our own government. So what people go off the edge, its collateral to the satiation of the schiizo blackhearts. I say public flogging then flayed alive for those demonic tyrants who care not of the harm done to their fellows.
Times are scary for people who are no longer depending on the government telling them what to do or not to do. They were in heaven for the past year and have to start becoming independent (again?).
ReplyDeleteI live in Ft. Lauderdale. Just yesterday at a biker/trucker bar I ran into a patron who was enraged at the fact that I had no plans to get vaccinated. How I was going to be responsible more for more deaths. All while slamming down a bucket of Bud lights in a bar.... WTF?
ReplyDeleteI was the last one out of the bars and restaurants and the first one back. The place is overrun with the 'CO-Flee's" (People running from their lockdown states to eat and drink here) While telling you what DeSantis is doing will get us all killed. Unfuckingbelievable....
The real fun will start in a few months when all of the mentally disturbed folks who''ve been left alone with their dark fantasies for a year plus start going out and hunting for prom dates to Valhalla. There should be a nice bumper crop of serial killers and spree killers to follow....
ReplyDeleteGeorgia where Dead Man Walking Kemp is the governor. He just opened up another notch or two. Actually, it's pretty good although some businesses are saying they're aren't going to jump right on it. My Democrat son has never made any kind of point of masks or distancing when we visit them and the grandchildren, which I have appreciated. No problem with hugs. I was surprised the other day when I mentioned that Kemp had opened up and I thought that people who had been vaccinated would soon stop wearing masks. His comment was that he was afraid that people would go back to the old ways too soon. Still, in this no-mandate county, no masks in the gun stores, some tire/service stores, some hardware stores, some gas/convenience stores and my big corporate insurance agent.
ReplyDeleteMy wife was in an indoor farmer’s market here in Florida recently. She was not wearing a mask, although market employees were. She was at the checkout stand when a man and a 7-year-old boy came in, both masked. The boy came to an abrupt stop when he saw my unmasked wife. He said to the man, “I can’t go in. It isn’t safe.” The man said, “I think it will be safe enough.” My wife was angry at the fearful society that dictates masked action and sympathetic for the boy. She said, “Here he’s been told for more than a year that if somebody – one person -- is not wearing a mask, he can get sick and die.”
ReplyDeleteHad to visit the county office here in Georgia. They checked temperature but masks not required. A few folks were wearing mask but none of the employees as far as I could see. Went about my business as usual. Glad I still live where we act like Americans. FYI - My county voted 75% for Trump.
ReplyDeleteFuck it, I never liked crowds in the first place. I didn't mask up, I didn't (and won't) get the shots, I didn't buy hand sanitizer in gallon jugs (or even pints or half-pints), I didn't panic-buy anything. I went about my business as normally as I could. Fuck Fauci and the rest of the "scientist" panic mongers.
