The year 2021 reminds me that movie where people thought there was a nuclear war, so they lived in a bomb shelter to avoid radiation. So finally, 20 years later they leave the bomb shelter only to realize that they never had to live that way to being with.
That’s what all these pandemic procedures are like... a bomb shelter you don’t really need and you won’t know you don’t need it until you stop living in it.
So many ridiculous pandemic superstitious procedures based around the idea that the majority of people are walking around with corona but don’t even know they have it.
Weekly COVID tests for people with no symptoms
Masks all day
Sitting behind plexi-glass
6’ or 3’ rule of social distance
Eating on the floor of the library instead of the cafeteria
Temperature checks
Quarantine after coming in contact with an asymptomatic person
Quarantine after vacation
Fired for vaccine non-compliance
Randomly testing healthy children to find a virus
The last one just floors me. We know COVID does not have a serious impact on healthy kids, so lets look for something that doesn’t matter. I realize there are kids who are at risk for serious illness because they are already sick with another disease, but would you send your medically fragile child to school if their life depended 5 year-olds wearing their mask properly?
Its just silly.
Murphy is spending 267 Million dollars on school screening tests. Why couldn’t they put that into a more permanent solution like new HVAC systems with HEPA filters? Answer: Because that solution doesn’t keep the pandemic going. Testing healthy kids with no symptoms keeps the fear alive.
Meanwhile all that panic over the Delta variant effecting kids turned out to be a dud…. but I could clearly see that with the NJ data, I don’t need a paper from England to show me this.
BTW here is my take on it…
