If only we had taken this thing seriously from the beginning  Far too many people think it's all a hoax. |
I honestly don't think the majority of the people anywhere, here included, think it is a hoax at all. However, the seeming inability for our political "leaders" of either party and the posturing of our medical "experts", presents a unified picture of " frankly WE don't know what the heck this really is and certainly don't know what to do that would work to keep the spread down. Certainly the "mask" thing is not working, at least not using the type of "mask" the public has access to, and the fashion statements masks for the holidays, favorite teams, etc. Personally I think there is something in personal contact we don't know yet, and possibly links to politically unacceptable topics (weight ? ethnicity ?, gender ? ) Certainly the hypocritical words AND actions of the "powerful", the belittling of "common folks" who also want to have a holiday with friends and relatives, or eat in a nice restaurant, all the while carrying on their own lives as they please, having hair done, going to activities without "masking", traveling, eating, entertaining..... it just may be getting close to the boiling point of "good for ME but it's NOT FOR THEE" behaviors presently passing as "leadership skills" in both polical parties !
