You know what is comical

Here is my latest observation on the "where am I going and why am I in a handbasket"

I get a lot of political email that I mostly just delete, just because I voted in a poll doesn't mean I will ever donate money to a bunch of fiscally incompetent bipedal (?) humanoids.

I love the one I have been getting for years now that states to "move your money before "insert date three months down the road" click here to learn why.

Makes me wonder as to why do they have a moving target on this "date" since I have seen this email for at least the last two years and as mentioned the date keeps changing.

To hear from politics, covid is so virulent that many have been in contact with it. Meaning if it's the case, you have antibodies like for any illness you crossed before - and I remind to everyone, all the other illness are mutating too with time. So those people don't need vaccine

You know what is comical.
California is the most locked down and restricted state in the nation and home of many business closures. One closure parents and teachers have been fighting for months is to get the schools reopened. They have cited a rise in drug abuse and suicides by students and family hard ships. Parents can't work as someone needs to stay home with the kids. Now that they are finally making progress and the soon to be recalled governor is starting to announce school reopening ( after recall petition reached 1.8 million signatures). The teachers union is saying the teachers will not return until they receive the covid vaccine. The teachers where on the list for May or June.
Also the governors order of vaccinations list does not consider the police as an essential or first respondent and where scheduled for vaccination after the teachers original time frame.

Yeah Jherr, COPD is so much fun in a masked world. If everyone, not out for a Darwin award, wears a mask, then the contenders can be seen clearly.
The most fun is whilst shopping, local decided to lower the number of open registers, resulting in congestion.  Hard to maintain distance with a cart pushing into your back. Painful too.
Cheers

Since I have to wear mask in shops, or when at job, I have the nose running.
Here, I must tell before I start to eat organic, 9 months on 12 I was with nose like that. Since 2010 I was free of that...

I have a discomfort in the throat, like a ball during several hours after I wear one.
I can't breath correctly in shops (I exit my nose in the streets, no matter the orders here) and guess what? I pull on the mask to obtain air.

People with things in the throat (from a old tracheotomy) can't use the mask.
Same with several advanced asthmatic people.
I know a person who after 15 minutes with mask is fainting.

And why during many many years, in Asia, the ill people wear the masks when they had flu, but sane people hadn't to wear them? Why suddenly everyone has to wear a such mess?
Sorry, nothing makes sense to me in that story.

My newest problem is that I have found it increasingly difficult to breath or talk properly through a mask up over my nose or even over my mouth.

Yeah, yeah it is useless unless you do so, it is to protect me from you and vice versa ... well whom is being protected and from what if one is not capable of breathing through a mask. I certainly no longer feel safe since I cannot breath properly, just call a ambulance now jack leg.

This has been creeping up on m e slowly for some little time that it took this long to realize what the problem is, and yes I am out of breath, wheezing and the whole nine yards when forced to wear that damn thing.

Just noticed yesterday that under exertion without a mask I found myself short of breath ... not a good feeling

And the idiot at work thinks I am faking because I do not want to work on the cruise ship, due to the fact one will be required to wear not only a mask, but a face shield, gloves and a suit ... seriously what the hell do I have the Black Death

Makes me wonder about my sleeping habits now as if they are truly interrupted by tinnitus or just restricted breathing. Because the longer I think about it the further back the symptoms are recalled.

Which makes one suspect the medical industry with capital letters. One would have thought something would have come out during a physical, but I guess the slow and subtle progress of anything is missed every time.

Oh you know, masks are asked for children here, starting 6 years old. Not Halloween or superhero masks, but facial masks

We heard first children were the worse to give covid. Then they weren't carriers. Now, it's back to the time where children are "monsters"

Because of lockdown since today (and I'll pass on the many contradictions of french government here), children who celebrate Halloween here won't be able to do it too.

And it just keeps getting more stupid by the day ...

Rules for Thee Not For Me!

I get a kick out of the governor of California stating children are not allowed to go door to door trick or treating on Halloween and I just saw an interview with a local politician saying he and his people have gone around the last couple of weeks knocking on about 35,000 doors to get the word out on his campaign. He was not the first I heard admit to this.
