Flu mania turns me off

Flu mania turns me off...

Well, it tries to at least!


“We lose thousands and thousands of people a year to the flu. We don’t turn the country off,” Trump said.

This is disgusting; I'm agreeing with Trump!

Not only that, but, as PennyForYourThoughts has said, we lose thousands to opioid addiction -- and doctors still prescribe them!

Like Trump (I can't believe I'm saying this) I don't like to be bossed around.This is my life, this is my life, this is my li-ife, my life! Can't recall who sang that; it's been a truth for ever so long!

As I was going out to shop earlier today, I noticed a NOTICE from my landlord sitting on the bench outside my door, which says in part:
 
GOVERNMENT HAS DIRECTED ALL SENIORS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES/UNITS

The whole page is in large letters. Does C-19 make people go blind?  Or just the fear of it?

Good luck with those rules, I says to myself as I left my "home/unit" to go shopping. Met a feisty woman on the elevator who proudly stated she hasn't "a cold or a sniffle". Met two other bratty old dames in the lobby, one in a wheelchair, who laughed hilariously when I pointed out that they were flouting government dictates.

If you look at my last couple of posts, you'll see there are mature women commenting who are not getting sick, nor are their families, but two have husbands who have temporarily (one hopes) been relieved of their jobs!  This is unconscionable!

Outdoors, I saw an old guy taking a ride in his wheelchair.  He was wearing a mask because he has some respiratory problems, not at all related to C-19.

Got to the supermarket and there was a jovial employee standing outside, letting one person in at a time, as another person came out -- in other words, only so many people allowed in the store.

And this time a lot of shelves were bare, so Food Basics is having trouble upholding their promise to keep them stocked.  There was NO toilet paper, and only small boxes of facial tissues, and there were signs saying that you could take only one of a given item (including the tissues).

Did you ever think you'd hear of a store telling you that you could take only one of a certain item!  That's one for the history books!

Lots of old folks out walking today as the weather has improved.  They smile; they don't look worried.

I find it hard to believe that the government is so anxious about the health of us raisins.  Hey, we're the ones who are going to die if they're right about this; shouldn't that be our decision?  Most of us are quite ready to go when the time comes.  And imagine how our deaths would reduce the costs of health care!

Do you get the feeling there's something more behind this?  Silly question? Creating a diversion? From what?  Giving certain corporations more money? Looks like it.

I still don't know anybody, anybody at all, who has come down with any kind of flu.  But then, I don't know a whole lot of people now that all my old friends have died, mostly of cancer!

Saddest sight I saw today was three beautiful little girls peering in a ground floor window at their Granny who lives in the Nursing Home next door to my apt. building.

If anybody needs visiting it's those grannies and grandpas, and the building is so locked down that NOBODY is allowed to enter it at all, (except staff one assumes), or use the ATM (I guess some of my neighbours do that) or visit the Coffee Shop.

There are people in this world who get a kick out of being able to say:

YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED ...

Not permitted. That's what the notice says.  And the gov't is actually considering whether or not to bring out the military to enforce the new rules!

Shades of somebody our military attempted and failed to kill in the 40's -- because he beat us to the punch -- and only his people got lambasted and decimated and cremated (literally, from our fire bombs)!

This is all about corporate bailouts, and quite possibly a test to see how far governments can go in paralyzing their people and the economies of ours and especially other countries.

This is a season that will go down in infamy!

(I can see why dominators like to use large print.  It feels good. Sort of.)
