Tonight I'm working at an indoor event with about 150 people who will be seated side by side in a small space (a theater). There will be no checking of vaccine status or social distancing, but everyone must wear a mask because that's the current rule in my area. Last month only those who couldn't prove they were vaccinated had to wear a mask. Month before everyone wore masks AND social distancing was enforced so only 50 people were allowed in. It changes constantly. As a thinking person it makes no sense healthwise, but as a citizen being controlled by the government it's working amazingly well.
You ever notice how paranoid/worried everyone is about everything now?
Yes, I have. Extreme paranoia about pretty much any and everything. Worse yet, a willingness to "crusade" against the objects of that paranoia. Mob mentality. We have a container with all the ingredients necessary for a social nitroglycerine explosion and the media/government is shaking the container.
Panic porn can only go so far... then panic fatigue sets in.
I think you're right, although I never thought of that before.
Of course, I am just one person, but I am just so tired of the constant fear-mongering, the constant bad news, the constant flip-flopping from Fauci and others -- and, especially, the feeling that this is NEVER going to end!*
I am just at the point where I just have the attitude of "Scru it, if I get it, I get it" (although I still mask when required, which it is NOT in Wisconsin except that some stores request it).
Btw, my chances of getting it are very low right now, and even lower for becoming hospitalized if I get it.
*And for those who would say, "Well, it is not going to end until everyone gets vaccinated", I would only reply, "Oh, really? Have you read the latest data that the vaccinated can both get and give the virus? Even the CDC admits it."

I don't think this pandemic will ever end. 155,000 cases yesterday. Almost 800 deaths. Are we going to have to live this out for the rest of our lives all because of gain of function and Fauci supporting this garbage.? China is happy destroying the world like they wanted to.
Life often posed enough obstacles before Covid, a wrecked economy, race wars, riots, and political divide that has taken the United States and divided it and created anger and strife. If you lived in a large city like I did, you had incresed crime on top of this.
Any enemies of this country just have to sit and watch the conflict. Empires that fall from within usually are gone forever, and we are heading to just that. This is truly a frightening time .
I'm kind of pumped that it turns out that vaccinated people can spread the virus to others. We can kill off more unvaccinated people that way and break finally break that 1918 record. We only need about 50K more deaths to get there.
Are you forgetting that the population of the U.S. in 1918 was about one-third what it is today?

Probably too busy wishing people dead.
