An interesting Al Jazzera piece on COVID19 in India.

Apparently things have gone from bad to terrifying there, with issues like:

(1) Inadequate supplies of medical grade oxygen in compressed gas cylinders;
(2) A huge shortage of available hospital beds; and
(3) A massive shortfall in ICU bed availability.

I saw a guy drive off in his car after putting his groceries inside, after putting the top down on his convertible , all the while wearing his mask.

Sometimes you really just want to walk up to people and slap the stupid out of them.

Meanwhile in NH, this is the sign of the times...



NO Mask Mandate here, and even if there's a sign on the door that happens to say 'Mask Required' as far as I'm concerned, it must be an old sign that should've been taken down already because that's 'not a thing' anymore! Wink

I'm DONE with Masks!! Roll Eyes

A friend of mine is from India and his son is currently in residency for medical school there. I was speaking with him about the situation there and he relayed to me that, yes India is currently in a dire situation but places in India where the situation is very bad are all the extremely densely populated areas.

He explained that the large number of very poor people living in incredibly close conditions are creating an environment for viruses that cannot be defended. Areas with this type of urban density are going to create hotbeds.

Came out of the grocery store the other day and there was a dude sitting in his car while masked. And he had a face shield on too. And was wearing surgical gloves. And he was smoking. To take a puff, up went the shield and down came the mask.
Very health conscious guy! Eek
So far in the scamdemic, this observation is my clear winner in mask insanity.

People that wear a mask alone in their car are the same people who wear a condom alone in bed.

A completely meaningless metric. If the media wasn't completely in the bag for these worthless losers, they'd pound this ridiculously inept moron for why the number of cases is relevant at all.

Oh thank goodness! The CDC says that now I can go outside without a mask. Oh, wait.......I've never worn a mask outside.

Today my wife talked me into going to Walmart- no mask, and I was reminded of why I haven't been there in over a year, and I can't think of a reason to ever go there again. Then we went to Five Guys for cheese burgers that were good, but waaaay overpriced- no mask. Then I followed my wife around Ollies bargain Outlet & Hobby Lobby, for what seemed like hours- no mask.

The nearest traffic light is 25 miles from my house, and the closest Walmart, big box stores, and restaurants, etc are 35 miles away. I've gotten spoiled this past year by doing my shopping at the local hardwares, mom & pop grocery stores & restaurants, where people actually exhibit some common sense. After this trip "into town", I think I'm going to continue with helping the local economy.

I went to Cincinnati for a day last week and I estimate 60-70% of people were wearing masks outside. I asked a random person WTF. He said they take it seriously in Cincinnati.

I made a delivery the other day and there was a 20-something woman tending to her garden alone while wearing a mask.

Some of them can sort of glide backward without moving their feet.

I'll see your crazy person and raise you the one I saw this past weekend. Took the dog to the park for a walk. Around the outer walking/jogging sidewalk I see an older lady attempting to speed walk. She's wearing a mask, face shield and some sort of rubber gloves. As she's doing her thing she has to slow or stop ever so often because she apparently can't breath very well in the Florida heat. I swear I was waiting for her to stroke out. Roll Eyes The crazy is everywhere.
