I had to go to the drugstore today (Because I still have not run out of toilet paper yet) for the first time since they've implemented ridiculous social distancing rules etc. As I'm going to the grocery store I notice a line at the drugstore and I ask a guy that was going back to his pickup truck: "Are they policing the number of people that can go into the drugstore"? The guy doesn't answer me but goes on a rant about not being able to buy a new drug that "cures" the coronavirus (I think Fetzer talked about it on tonight's show). They are killing us he said. I thought to myself this guy believes what's on TV so I'll let it go.
Fast forward thirty minutes. As I enter the drugstore with two grocery bags in my hands, a young man three feet from me asks if I have a fever. To which I reply: " No! Do you? ". He then lets me pass and I get accosted by a lady that want's me to put my grocery bags in a shopping cart, remove my winter gloves and wash my hands. I said Lady, I just want to go grab two four liter bottles of distilled water. She says it doesn't matter. I then say to her: " Do you realize how all this is absurd? I just got accosted by two people and not at the distance that they tell us we should be either. Whereas in normal circumstances it would have been two less people I would have been in contact with ". She looked at me with the glazed look that you get from those people when they are confronted with logic that doesn't fit the TV bullshit.
And so I just turned around and as I was getting out of the store I said: " You all are a bunch of brainwashed mental retards "!
While walking back home, for the first time since this all started, it really, truly dawned on me that with people like that, WE ARE FUCKED!
P.S. Today, my neighbors had a visit from their friends. The visitors where talking from the side walk while the neighbors were on their porch (0 Celsius 32 F). I was tempted to make a weird goose step around their car as a joke but I'm not sure how funny they would have thought it was so I just crossed the street instead.
