Is tRump's proclamation that all is well working?
I know he hasn’t gone quite that far (at least I don’t think he has; I never watch his televised events), but it is my understanding he has expressed a desire to return to “normal” upon the expiration of the 15-day social distancing period.
I must confess that, while I’m not by any means in the dark, I haven’t been watching CNN 24/7 or otherwise keeping up to date on a blow-by-blow basis. But the last I heard (yesterday, I believe), our idiot-in-chief was chomping at the bit to get back to normal (because, hey, we gotta keep the economy chugging along even if it means a few hundred thousand people die) sooner rather than later.
Anyway, getting to my point (rather laboriously, and I apologize for that), in the last couple of hours I’ve heard three planes fly over. And it struck me that I haven’t heard a single plane in quite some time. At least a week. Maybe two. And I’m not imagining this. There has been no air traffic here for many days.
Now, suddenly, three planes.
I hope that’s not an indication that things are getting back to “normal” because that asshat said we’ve been locked down long enough. It seems to me the necessary lockdown period should just be getting started if we have any hope of ever safely getting back to normal.
