Without a doubt, the fears surrounding COVID-19 have changed how we live.
When we first heard about it a few months ago, words like "SARS" and "Ebola" gave us reminders of plagues past. We all thought that it would disappear within weeks. And boy, were we wrong.
Now, there's only a handful of parts of America that haven't been affected by the coronavirus yet. Two of them are West Virginia and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Early today, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer ordered all restaurants, bars, gyms, movie theaters and other non-essential places where people can be close together. Of course, grocers and pharmacies are open for business. And talk about pandemonium.
Last Friday, I went to both my local Meijer and Costco. Meijer was packed and out of toilet paper, though it did have napkins. Bottled water was scarce. Over at Costco, they had zero TP, but plenty of water. Today, I had to go to Walgreen's because my mother now has a cold. Well, the place was packed to the hilt. Not to mention that yes, virtually all paper products are off the shelves.
It seems that going out and going somewhere feels like Russian Roulette. You simply don't know if you're coming home alive. It's become chaotic, even if only a small handful of folks have COVID-19 here in Kent County.
I do wonder why the hell people NEED to buy up and hoard all of the world's toilet paper. Are they scared that the zombies are going to come to take all of our precious Charmin away? Are they scared that they're going to have to find alternatives to wipe the dingleberries from their collective anuses? Aren't most people aware that for the same price as loading your spare bedroom with TP, you can buy one of these gadgets that's actually more sanitary than getting poop all over your fingers?
And when you make #2, do you make washing your hands your #1 priority? Needless to say, it's a pet peeve of mine when somebody uses the bathroom and doesn't wash their damn hands. A few years ago, I paid a visit to a girl whom I met online. She was autistic and lived in a Section Eight apartment. Needless to say, she wasn't girlfriend material for me since hygiene was never important to her. Hell, she never brushed her teeth, so they all rotted out of her skull. One day, I gave her dinner and after she ate, she had to use the bathroom. I could easily hear the disgusting sounds of indigestion emulating from her bathroom. She flushed but never washed her hands. Why? The second she flushed, she was out of the bathroom. Well, that was the last time I saw her, especially since she's now transgender.
I know. Women spend more time on the shitter than us men. But that's no excuse to not wash their hands. I've talked to women in that same situation and asked why they never washed their hands. Their excuse? "Soap dries up my hands!" Yeah, and their poop can spread disease. Yes, it's true that 99-point-infinity-nine percent of all of the naked female asses we've ever seen in our lives has had her poop pushed through it. And yes, it's loaded with bacteria and germs that can make one sick if one chooses to go Allison Williams on that ass.
With the closure of many places that serve food and drinks, wait staff, bartenders and others who rely their income on tips are now screwed. Many will be thankful that they will have a job through the COVID-19 melee. It's bothersome knowing that some people - especially part-timers - will suffer tremendously through all this. My father was a school bus driver for many years and he's probably thankful that he quit driving long before all this started. Unlike most schoolteachers, he didn't get paid year round. Once school was out for the Summer or if school was on break, he didn't get paid. During the Summertime, he worked on a cherry farm, working 12-hour days on a tree shaker during harvest. Now that school's out until April per Whitmer, I will bet that many bus drivers are now suffering financially.
But yet, there's morons out there who will give their money to the wrong people.
I do wonder how many assholes gave Jim Bakker a ton of dough for his fake coronavirus cure? The state of Missouri is now suing the fake televangelist for claiming that a product called Silver Solution will kill coronavirus, though scientists have claimed that it's nothing more than snake oil. There's also the preachers who all cry that they still want to hold Sunday services even though they've been mandated not to. There have been many churches doing the right thing by streaming their services via Facebook Live and other platforms.
I know, it sucks that the coronavirus has ruined a lotta plans. Hell, it's sad that today, Drumpf claimed that the coronavirus crisis will go on until June or August. I hope he's wrong. I just checked my 401 (K) today and, well, I hope I'll still have money left over by the time Drumpf leaves the White House (and it's IF he leaves the White House).
It's a shame that thanks to Drumpf's yokel fans and the Democratic National Committee fucking over Bernie Sanders in 2016 that of all the nations on Earth, we're far behind other nations when it comes to curing and diagnosing coronavirus. And thanks to Drumpf, we're heading straight into a recession. Methinks it's worse.
With the primaries in full bloom, I hope people will realize why it's important to vote for Bernie. Our government needs to overhauled big time and soon. We as a nation can't wait much longer for this pandemic to get worse. Businesses need to run, people need jobs and people need toilet paper. All we can do right now is simply quarantine ourselves for now and only go out when we have to, whether it's for work or to shop for necessities. And yes, wash our hands when we use the bathroom.
And please, don't hoard the Charmin. Mr. Whipple's already spinning in his grave as-is.
