Anybody else totally excited about living during a pandemic? I loved the first part of The Stand a lot (minus the Mother Abagail/Randall Flagg fantasy stuff), and if I survive to move to, say, Boulder … Hey, pot’s legal there! I also think that the way the hardcore Religious Right defying shelter-in-place orders, the world will be fine in their absence. Just stay FAR AWAY from anyone who doesn’t obey strict self-quarantining and hope for the best — Isn’t much we can do about grocery shopping contacts.
We’ll need to be total homebodies for ~18-24 months, and maybe even more. Lots of time to read — Hallelujah!
Also, have y’all wondered how we’ll survive if essential services like electricity/plumbing/trash fail? Communications?
And how about the striking workers at places like Amazon — who fired 5-year employee Chris Smalls for being an activist (Amazon Fires Worker Who Led Strike Over Virus), Instacart, and Whole Foods? I saw current video of filthy conditions at UPS — both in-office and in delivery trucks — that prompt me to advise y’all to be very careful of delivered items. Hell, I need a heatproof spatula, but I will not cross a picket line!
This global catastrophe is revealing so much about society. Don’t y’all find it fascinating? I sure do.
