Greetings caged animal, bad enough cabin fever is tearing at your sanity but the 'slow reveal' that the CORVID-19 pandemic is more deadly than you were originally led to believe has you painted into a corner.
Like I pointed out yesterday, a mask without an oxygen generator is like pissing into the wind for the wearer BUT it is an effective way for the infected to minimize the spread of the contagion.
Emphasis on 'minimize' as most generic masks are ill-fitting and leak copiously.
Flipping that rock over, you aren't doing your immune system any favors by 'recycling' the virus back into your compromised body.
Personally, I'd keep the mask shit to a minimum because wearing one paints a big red 'S' on your forehead. That said, opinions are like poop chutes, everybody's got one.
The reality check here is genetic predisposition. Either your ancestors gifted you with a robust immune system or they didn't. [A ray of truth not shared by the public education system is one of the reasons you age and die is directly attributable to the 'arms race' between predatory lifeforms in the unending quest to survive and dominate. You breed to pass on the improvements your immune system adds to your body's defenses.]
The attackers [viruses] are constantly mutating and will eventually overcome outdated immune responses like those found in 'old people'.
In the end, a majority of us will die from a compromised immune system.
Not what most of you want to hear but regardless of how well you maintain 'the temple of your soul' the 'final destination' remains unchanged.
Wisdom, as always, is free (because so few know how to use it...worse, wisdom is most often earned 'after the fact'.)
But I digress.
As 'options' dwindle, desperation grows. As desperation 'rises' order falls exponentially. When the transportation system seizes, society evaporates.
Problem with the emergency measures is they weren't funded and what's on hand will quickly be exhausted because capitalism is predatory and Mr. Me 'needed' a new yacht, so he took what he was paid to stock the supply chain with and bought a beauty.
This is the, er, problem with a corrupt commerce system backed by an equally corrupt legal system.
Does anyone find it 'amusing' that the feckless consider themselves the Human Condition personified?
You know this but there is a certain sadistic pleasure in spelling it out.
A-hole acts the way they do because they honestly believe EVERYBODY, given the same opportunity, would act the same selfish way they do, thus excusing their reprehensible behavior.
Luckily, the 'selfless' will (once again) step up to the plate and keep the system (as much as they can anyway) from complete collapse and Bonehead will beat a hasty retreat (to escape prosecution) on that yacht he bought using public funds.
As the decidedly corrupt system crashes down around our ears we should all take a moment to be thankful that there are more 'selfless' individuals than the freakishly selfish among us. We wouldn't have gotten this far without them.
Take a bow, you! You know who you are [and more than a few of you just think you're wonderful and giving, no shortage of the self-aggrandizing, unfortunately.
Let me close by opining that since there wasn't a 'we' going into this disaster it is only the remotest of possibilities that a 'we' might come out of it [seriously depends on the death toll.] How wry is it that the feckless are also more than a little stupid, leaving them vulnerable?
What a slender thread for the righteous to prevail?
Stay strong [if you know how.] I'll be here.

ReplyDeleteJust read an article that reveals COVID-19 is a mutated form of SARS. How long do you suppose they knew that?
