Seriously, when in the hell are we gonna stop worrying about this stupid virus and start moving forward with our lives again!? I am getting completely fed up with this!! I want things to go back to the way they are so I can proceed with my future!
I have to say I feel the same way. I realize and agree we have had a serious virus to contend with worldwide, but I'm questioning some of the behaviour that has come out of this. I'm questioning the level of destruction to peoples jobs and way of life. I'm questioning how it was allowed to become Political in the USA. It's as if it will never end, and what I find the most difficult to grasp, is that most people do not get all that sick from this. Not saying that the virus doesn't attack some and cause deaths. I understand that and know it does. It's just the way it has been pushed on us, its as if its an immediate death sentence.
I don't feel we had to go to the lengths we did, when the lengths meant destruction of so many businesses and jobs. I completely do not agree with the way this virus was dealth with.
What I always felt from the start is another approach. Everything in the USA should have completely shut down for 2 full weeks and kept this virus at bay. If anything were open it would have been hospitals and emergency services and grocery stores. Otherwise people would have to remain in their homes, as was done overseas. Masks would have been required and not an option for those 2 weeks. What we did was a patchwork of rules and recommendations that varied from city to city state to state. You know the usual way Americans deal with things. They don't.
We will be in Dec in 3 weeks and we are told the virus has been getting worse the last few weeks. So when the hell does this end and will it ever. It seems like some sort of control has been put on all of us. Our life's have been turned into a nonstop stress mess that never ends. It is nonstop doom and gloom the moment you turn on the TV. It didn't just start with the Virus, it seems to have started way back with 9/11 and it never ends. I honestly wonder some days is it some sort of control put on us by the Gov't and media for whatever reason. Who knows but like you I am completely sick of all this. You can bet when this Vaccine comes out, there will be some other serious problem pushed on us almost immediately.

Yes, lots of folks out there are realizing this is all about control. This virus is and never was that dangerous to the majority. I am thankful to be living in Florida which is almost completely open and businesses opened back up and people working. Even some of our events are happening again. I just hope no one tries to shut us down again, there are already a lot of people ready to go to war over it.
The virus infection rate is going up in our county. It is not going down. Many people have not cooperated regarding distancing or masking. Those hospitalized with the virus have in increased. You want normalcy? Become serious about following guidelines to decrease transmission, and you will get there faster.
No one likes this situation. I don’t for sure. I’d like to live a few more years, thank you very much. But I do not enjoy the interruption of my normal life, either. I do not get to see my family often, and it bugs me.
But you and I are literally in this together, as is every other human being. What we don’t need is overstressed hospitals with overstressed medical people having to decide who to try and save, and who to let go.
If a vaccine pans out early next year, perhaps we’ll be almost back to normal by summer. I’d like that.
You are not the only person who wants normalcy. But we can’t have normalcy if people are getting seriously sick all over, all at once. What you and I want cannot happen now.
The virus infection rate is going up in our county.

FALSE....The election is over. We don't need to perpetuate The Lie anymore for political gain.
Once again: the definition of an epidemic is a period of INCREASING rate of the disease. After the peak, the rate then falls back to its baseline, ENDEMIC level...
....Like the common cold, flu, TB or Bubonic Plague etc, there's always some around in the population at a STABLE rate of new infections.
As I've said here repeatedly-- only the over 55-65 crowd need worry about contacting this virus. The sooner we have wide-spread infections in the younger age groups, the sooner we old fogeys will be at less risk of picking it up.

Since Biden has said he will do something different from Trump regarding Covid, we will most likely go into a full nationwide lockdown.
