Long post but reflects MY feelings

Remember when... thirty seemed so old.
Location
Arkansas, and also Florida
If you dis-agree, fine move on. I couldn't say it any better.

Why do I have to stay home just because YOU are scared? How about YOU stay home....YOU stay in YOUR house indefinitely, YOU wear a mask, YOU socially distance yourself from me, YOU avoid restaurants, YOU avoid baseball games, YOU stay off the roads, YOU avoid malls and beaches and parks, YOU believe the made up death numbers, YOU believe the media hype, YOU Get your toxic vaccine while avoiding vitamin C, sunshine and the things God gave us to actually heal.
I'm done playing YOUR dumb game. We are not “all in this together.” I'm not wearing YOUR dumb tin foil hat anymore. I’m no longer going to be a prisoner of your fear. I'm no longer staying in my house or catering to YOU because YOU are scared. I'm not wearing a mask and I'm not staying 6 feet away from you anymore because I'm not afraid of you. You are not my enemy and if I get sick, it's not because of YOU, it's because of me and my system, which not only have I been addressing for quite some time, but I also know how to treat if I get sick.
This virus (or whatever it is) is already circulating. Millions of people have already encountered it, as it's been circulating around the world probably since last September. YOU will have to confront this thing, if you haven’t already. There is no way around it, unless you lock yourself up in your house and it somehow doesn't manage to hop on some mail or some groceries that you ordered online.
YOUR fear is not an excuse to destroy America. YOUR fear is not my fear and your fear does not have the right to interfere with my life, my job, my income or my future as a free American citizen. So if you're scared, you can just put your tin foil hat on, or even wrap foil all around your whole body, or around your whole house if you wish - but please keep your fear contained to your little corner of the world and don't contaminate me or my family or my Country.
I copied & pasted this from Grey Havens' page it's perfect
 

I completely get it. Most of these measures are silly, but we only have to follow the laws; not suggestions.
I only wear a mask when it's required - when inside a market. I don't wear one when I'm outside & many others don't either. I'm still laughing at the mask thing. They previously said masks are useless, now they're required when shopping.....what made them useful now?

Today, while checking out at the market, I just had to make a comment on those plexiglass "virus shields" at the counter. There is a big opening at the bottom of the shield. I put my hands in the opening & said, "I'm checking for germs.......nope, none here." Everyone in line laughed, so I did my job well.

As soon as I heard the "Stay Home" crap, I found it as silly as you do. I haven't been staying home; I've been going out every day. I've been taking food & supplies to elderly friends & visiting, etc. I won't go where I'm not wanted because I don't like to cause people stress, but so far, none of my friends don't want me in their house & none of us are sick.
I WILL, however draw the line at any vaccine or drug. Nobody makes my health decisions for me. Anyone who wants a vaccine is free to get one; just don't try to convince me to get one.

I hear many people talking about their rights during this pandemic but I don't hear much about the responsibilities that go along with those rights.

IMO you can go anywhere you like and do anything you choose as long as you respect and help to protect my rights when you are out asserting your freedom and independence.

I'm not scared and I'm not stupid.

I'm just doing what makes sense to me and millions of Americans.

Be smart and stay safe.
 

I had to look up Gray Havens to see who originated this piece of stupidity. They are an American Christian folk-pop singing group, consisting of a hushand and wife in Tennessee.

Dear Gray Havens: Whether you are fearful or not is irrelevant; who cares? I hope when you get the disease, you will be spared the horrible death that many seniors are experiencing. And the reason people are playing this "dumb game" is that you are arrogantly doing your best to give the disease to as many other people as you can. It is possible, as I'm sure you must know, to have the disease and not have symptoms, or just have mild symptoms and pay no mind to them. This does not mean that other people are safe around you. You can be killing umpteen other people without knowing it. If you can live with your conscience while doing this, then common decency has gone out the window. Or at least it has with you and your followers.

The idiot who wrote this sounds like a toddler who has been given a very dangerous weapon to play with, and is boasting about it. Do you really think this is an assault on your manhood? How would you feel if you killed a member of your family that you loved, or a dear friend, because you don't want to be told what to do? This Gray Havens writer (and I bet it's the husband) sounds like a 2-year-old.

So, practically every country all over the world is mourning thousands of deaths and has gone into lockdown, keeping people separated from each other and destroying their economy, for no particular reason? You know better, and you won't be told what to do, nyah nyah?

Good heavens.
 
I care not one particle about who Gray Havens is. What I do care is that he put into words exactly how I feel, and I might mention that a lot of other folks here in Arkansas also feel. Odd isn't it, that Arkansas with no lock downs and only a few common sense suggestions has somehow managed to survive this "sky is falling--- the end is here" scare tactic hyped by the "click bait" media. Oh yeah, most of our whopping 45 deaths have been people with pre-existing conditions. But, good to hear that you, being a "bless your heart" person, are wishing for him to get the virus. I guess then, you can't wait until I get it too. ehhh?
You know, sometime in your life, you have probably sneezed or coughed and unwittingly gave someone else with a weakened immune system a serious if not fatal illness. Of course, your conscience is clear because... guess what? you didn't know you passed it on to umpteen people.
One final thought, when did living your own life become a "dumb game"? If you really hate the idea of American freedom and the Bill Of Rights, I feel sorry for you.
 
38 years ago, I was working in an aerospace plant. It was the only time I got the flu. After a week at home, I was bored & went back to work before I was fully recovered. That lasted one day. I got sicker & I was required to see a doctor before returning to work. The doctor said I went back to work too soon & I had pneumonia. I stayed home for another week & was cleared to go back to work.

My co-workers frequently used my phone, sat at my desk, touched everything I touched & used the restroom before me. I likely got it from one of them. Was it their fault? Should I have sued them for making me sick? Of course not. Any time we leave our house, we take risks - including catching a contagious illness from someone else.....along with getting killed in a traffic accident.
 
I went into the chemist yesterday, and it was like something out of a disaster movie. The staff were wearing masks AND visors as well as being behind screens. The floor had large squares where the customers were asked to stand. The item I bought was placed on the counter and then the assistant retreated while I reached out and picked it up.
We are obviously in the grip of a plague!
 
There's no lockdown in Sweden for exactly these reasons. People who surrender their freedom to government control will find themselves regretting it four weeks later - ( in a Democracy, friends ), and then will find themselves in a struggle to get their freedoms back due to the difficulties of reopening a country once its been locked down.

This probably explains all the protests of restrictions that are happening currently worldwide.

Dr. Johan Giesecke, a Swedish epidemiologist, has a very interesting an intelligent take on this.
 
There is frustration everywhere about Lockdown, same
here people are flouting the advice to stay away from
others for their own safety.

In America you have the same advice, you also have rights
that are different from any that we have, 1st amendment,
2nd, 3rd, etc., etc., etc.

We also have the right to have a decent and private funeral
when we die, but so many are dieing that no mourners are
allowed at the graveside, though that might have been changed
to one person, but so much for the "Private" part, one cemetry
in South London which is the one that Muslims use are digging
long trenches for communal graves, the same was shown on TV
from New York.

So if you don't mind you loved ones going in a communal grave,
then go out and gather with others and you will get your wish.

Stay home, stay safe and stay out of a communal grave.

Mike.

exactly the same thing happens at our local Chemist ( Pharmacy)... Battle shields up at the counter (like a war zone) ... faces covered to the max so you can only see eyes ( except the pharmacist, oddly) . only one person is permitted in the shop at a time, so we have a long queue outside and then when we get into the shop we're asked to stand behind the police warning tape which is about 6 feet from the counter and shout across our requirements .. ... item then placed placed under the shield using a gloved hand.... I stood outside in the queue for 30 minutes the other day to collect a prescription which took me literally 2 minutes to collect and get out.. (yes I did have a mask on tho;) ..

I feel badly for the people of this country who don't/won't recognize that this is a worldwide and very virulent virus that is among us and it's not going away any time soon.

I am very fortunate, prescriptions delivered (free) and groceries delivered.

I am cautious with all this stuff and deaths are still climbing.

Sigh...wish I could wave a wand and remove all this virus from the world. (While I am at it: remove hunger, remove prejudice, remove hatred of mankind for whatever reason) but that is impossible because we are all human and victims of ourselves).
 
get mine from the pharmacy inside our clinic... so no queing --bliss..
but if you look at it logically ' rubber gloves -wipes- ques -mask wearing -if we did not have these guidelines the death rate
would be outstanding to say the least - its not a big thing to obey the rules for our safety !!

I didn't think Arkansas had a stay-at-home order issued by your Governor.

They don't, but, with a lot of other states with a lock down order, travel has all but stopped. I like to take my motor home out to the desert area's and boondock a lot. This year, it was planned to hit Utah, then Montana, and the Dakota's. Right now though, it's difficult because, while there is blm land that is still open, stopping anywhere to dump holding tanks or get fresh water or other supplies is all but impossible.
Can you imagine not being allowed into a grocery store unless you're wearing an armband ala Montana. Hey.... why not just make it a star sewn on your shirt?
