(23,428 posts)The battle against covid is over. The country has given up and decided grandma can go to hell, i want my ice cream cone.
i went out to pick up pizza for dinner. wore a mask. there is a ice cream parlor next door. walk up (not inside at least). it was PACKED in the parking lot. people crowded together in line, only two were wearing masks. i couldn't get the hell away from there fast enough. and the crowds on TV at the beaches and along the boardwalks...... they are already tracing outbreaks to mothers day gatherings and they were NOTHING like this.
america has decided, it isn't fighting covid anymore. we'll just let it kill who it kills but we're going to have our ice cream and walk on the beach
i feel like all the hard work we did, all the sacrifices, the massive bailout package.... we are flushing all the hard work we did right down the toilet.
my wife was supposed to have a follow up CT scan for lung nodules in april. we delayed until mid june because of the requests for people to put off elective procedures. now she is terrified it won't be safe to go out in three weeks when the next spike hits from this irresponsible people spreading the virus. meanwhile we just keep hoping whatever is in her lungs isn't cancerous.......
