Have you ever eaten a frozen TV dinner that you didn't cook long enough?
Let's say that you got one of those Hungry-Man TV dinners and you didn't follow the cooking directions. The package says five minutes, but you nuke it for only two. You yank it out of the microwave and it's still partially frozen. But, you're hangry and ya gotta eat 10 minutes ago. True, there's still frost on those fake mashed potatoes and the chicken is lukewarm. But your stomach thanks you... temporarily.
But then, the excitement begins. You wake up in the middle of the night with severe intestinal cramps. You sit on the crapper and then you realize that the food you ate a few hours ago is also coming out of the other end as well. Congratulations! You now have food poisoning. You should have let the chicken cook.
Well, that's how I think of reopening America too damn soon.
Several states are planning to reopen within the next few weeks, COVID-19 or not. Georgia plans to reopen some businesses by the middle of this week while Tennessee plans to reopen next week. South Carolina and and Texas plan to reopen next week as well.
Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming currently do not have stay-at-home ordinances.
Meanwhile, with them being 10th place in population and 3rd place in COVID-19 infections, Michigan may be able to reopen some businesses when Governor Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order ends May 1st.
It's true that the curve isn't totally flattened yet. But sadly, some people think that it's OK to go about with their lives, especially since millions of Americans are out of work. Granted, doing things like social distancing are a compromise, but even that might not be enough.
But sadly, people simply are starting to forget WHY many of us are under quarantine. As a result, we have morons waving their pathetic Don't Tread On Me flags at state capitols during this dangerous pandemic. "Oh, dis here COVID-19's treatable!" "Thuh only people getting coronuhvirus are all niggers!" "The media's lying to us!" Well, when you're six feet below the ground, then you have no room to talk.
The reality is that if one person gets coronavirus, it can infect 40 people and so on. A plethora of Summer events here in Michigan like Traverse City's Cherry Festival and Rothbury's Electric Forest have both been canceled. Many food processing plants around here in west Michigan like JBS and Herbuck's have been hit with COVID-19. But by God, we need to reopen those bowling alleys down south post haste! Same with hair salons. Hair can't cut itself unless you choose to go bald!
Look, the world ain't over, at least yet. I know that many of us want our lives to return to normal and it will in due time. The weather will warm up and will kill coronavirus. I hope by then, we'll have a formidable cure for it and we can all move on. We can enjoy being with friends and family, go picnicking, swimming, traveling and other Summer activities we all love. And yes, I hope that America can get back to work, too and not worry about what the next day will bring. But for now, we need to flatten the curve and not flare this bitch up again.
Good things come to those who wait.
