Post pandemic thoughts

Due to the unreliability of the news media (propaganda and bias), I find it impossible to gauge the reasonableness of the response by the government or by our fellow citizens to this pandemic. Too much, too little, or just about right?

But one thing I do know is how easy it was for the government to isolate almost all of us from one another. I’m not happy about that at all. All it took was an order from the Governor and most of us cowered in our homes, whipped into submission with the stroke of a pen and still, a month later, just now saying, “Please Mr. Governor, Sir, can we go outside and play, pretty please? Would it be OK with you if we exercised our rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?”

I think we all need to nut up and make our own choices rather than let our politicians call all the shots for us but how we do that when we have to rely on our media outlets to keep us informed eludes me. I actually rely more on the BDB for information than I do on media. Just thinking out loud and maybe venting a little.

Living in rural Iowa, it hasn’t effected us much here. Governor recommendations along with a lot of small business closures, but most of us just contacted the owner and did business direct, if it was a must have. Now, I will say, my county has only had 5 cases, 0 deaths, and all 5 have recovered. I don’t watch the news, I watch the daily Trump briefings and get my state directives from the Iowa.gov web sight. The only difference we have experienced is, my wife has been working from home, but I’m retired and got an extra $1200 bucks to acquire some of the preps I had been delaying. Yippee

i agree it was a little too much like a test to see how docile we are and we are...

but on the other hand who wants to catch a virus that drowns you to death?
