RE: Making Sense of the Craziness of 2020 Through Love

in #philosophy4 years ago

I'm not saying there's no virus. I think I had it. super mild case if so. novel viruses are pretty unpredictable.

What I will say is that the six feet rule is super shady, came out of nowhere, and is basically unspoken law... in some cases actual law generating fines.

Go back im time a year ago and ask doctors about this six foot rule. theyd laugh us out the damn room. meanwhile it seems to be okay if 100 people touch the same object as long as theyre 6 feet apart when they do it. like what the actual fuck.

They told us not to wear masks when this started, citing they don't help. Now masks are mandatory and many people have had drama, been fired, or even murdered over the issue. The only constant is that we're being lied to as all the 1984 references become more and more relevant.

Sort:  

Oh yeah! Totally agree on that.

Governments are treating the 6 foot rule like it's a magic thing and as far as I know the science behind the aerosol spread is 6 feet doesn't really matter if the virus is trapped indoors.

I'm not sure if I believe that's governments being evil, or just trying to dumb it down to somehow slow down the spread. 'Don't be inside with feverish fools' is way too hard so the 6 feet thing is something anyone can understand.

Yeah, I think the CDC messed up with the mask thing... other countries were onto masks immediately, and the numbers in South Korea, Japan and China where masks are super common kinda support that.

I truly don't know what works and what doesn't... so I'm basically avoiding all people and being a good mask guy when I can.

I personally have a very unique outlook on all this. The truth doesn't really matter to me. No matter what the truth is, I'm going to perform the same actions. I'm a total hermit so I never go outside anyway. Other people were freaking out going stir-crazy during lockdown and I can still safely say everything that's gone down hasn't really affected my day-to-day like at all. Hopefully it says that way.

Haha, me too!
This time has honestly been great for me. No commute, we're saving a ton of money and I don't have to do awkward small talk. We go out once every 2 weeks for groceries and that's it. I'm more than fine with this lasting another year.
