Our National Healthcare Approach to Covid from Fauci on down to your local School District
Is something wrong Mr. Worf?
There are several videos on YouTube and TikTok of Cats being jerks. A common theme consists of Cats testing how close they can push an object to the edge of a table or shelf before it tips over and crashes to the floor. Such as…
And then there are videos that include that and Cats just being jerks.
I used to be a cat person but became allergic to their fur and their attitudes and revenge-pooping. We are dog people as long as Stella is around. We will then take a break from pets and having to arrange pet sitters etc. and maybe afford airfare to Japan instead of spending that money on pet food and the Vet. I might keep some isopods or barnacles instead.One can catch, play with them, and release them in the same day. They will remember the names. We have some pet humming birds but we keep them outside. All hummers are named “Floyd”.
Our National if not International approach to how we respond to Covid is more or less based on these Cat videos. Imagine the Cat as your Republican or Democratic Parties, the local QAnon palanx, a local school board, or city government, or County Health Department, or the Governor, or Waste Management or Law Enforcement Union.
These are all Cat People. Instead of pushing your favorite wine glass to the edge, they are pushing the school districts full of students, restaurant and movie theater re-openings, concerts and the general wisdom of getting together during the Holidaze. This time the edge is in movement itself and the floor is the abyss of a runaway pandemic and a failed Public Health policy. Its all Clinton’s Fault.
There is no mystery of what is going to happen. Every time the precious antique crashes and shatters, everyone is Shocked! Shocked! How could this reopening when it seemed to be safe to a few idiots turn into such a Super Spreader event? Some don’t believe in the Virus and think this is an attempt for Biden to control us via Microchip. That Orange Headed Monster eeryone still talks about is a fake. You can spot him by his telling everyone to get vaccinated and boosted. We all know he is the 104 year old John Fitz Kennedy that they have been hiding in Dallas all these years just for this very moment.
Instead of a well recognized mandate for timing, the time zones are different everywhere and always changing, sometimes in opposite directions at imaginary number angles. The Cat people themselves are on their own temporal death wish path. Chaos in the 4th Dimension. Thus the Denver Cats are getting way too close while the Cats in Bezerkly are having to push harder and for longer. Elsewhere Cat A is whacking Cat B just to score points and Own the Libs. Some just stare waiting for an answer.
Then all of a sudden the expensive Tiffany Crystal Goblets seems to disappear and the Cats get to sleep in the Sun. But then the Delta Cucumber arrives as if it was there all the time, followed by the Omicron Cucumber which arrives by the case load. Suddenly there are 10 or more precious items to push off the edge of the table which is itself swelling and shrinking smultaneously. And Cucumbers. Also, expensive televisions to knock over, potted plants, etc. Everyone knows this Mayhem unless they are a luddite. Or have pushed a cucumber up their ass. I have heard that this is a thing.
Some think the Cat People react too much by Mandating Quarantine and Stay at Home orders for everyone.
Remember that it is different everywhere. Its as if Time is being stretched for some and compressed for some. Ursula Leguin wrote a short story about a large tree along Hwe 99W between Dundee and McMinnville from the perspective of the tree’s mind itself. In old times the tree would have to swell itself gently as a person slowly approached on foot. Then as the person headed off to McMinnville it would gently shrink. Sometimes it would have to swell while shrinking while simultaneously shrinking while swelling for two people walking in the same direction. Then the Bypass was built and the Tree found itself doing this gently enough that it became as precise as the Bolshoi Ballet in its graceful and multiple swelling and shrinking simultaneousness.
But along came the Infernal Combustion Engine. At night these encounters with a Ford were like doing an aerobic exercise. But then one misty morning there were slow walkers, horses on buggies, a team of joggers and several cars of Cat People on their way to watch some Cetacean Fireworks. Then one impatient car driven by some Ditwad who seemed more self-important than any of the others darting in and out and around the sides knocking some of the bikers into the ditch. The tree did its best, struggling to keep up to speed with the simultaneous shrinking and swelling at everyones’ speed. The Hubble Telescope studied this and could see the Gravitational lensing, which almost blew the fuses. They almost had to move it to Lugo in Galicia, Spain. The last strawch was when the Important Cat Person driving the car started testing how close to the edge it could push the Tree.
In a final gasp, the tree screamed “Enough Already!!!!!!” It reached out one of its major roots and stomped on its car, killing the contents and causing much injury to itself. All the other swelling and shrinking simultaneously for a large crowd stopped. Then the crews came and killed the tree for her offense,and blamed everything on Biden. As they hauled her away this tree wondered who or what would replace her at this important crossroads in Space-Time. She became a Dog Person and slowed down time and remained static, having done enough shrinking and swelling.
Time for some Brain Washing. Everyone needs to get on the Same Page and the Same Schedule. How would we do that? Maybe a Federal Mandate or two that would perhaps apply everywhere? Widespread testing and Vaccination, and a one month quarantine (or perhaps a large Covid Party in Texas for the antivaxxers. We’ll need a wall around the entire state to keep them locked in while some get sick and die. Ted Cruz would avoid it and go to Mexico.
Instead its this piecemeal and different standards approach to see what doesn’t and never will work. We could and will be in this state for several years. This isn’t the transition to Endemic mode. Instead this is an insane time-warped, whack-a-mole in Hell Multi-versal Pandemic of no end after the vaccine apparently added some Ground Hog Day-NA to all of the Cat People and their followers. They researched this on the Internetz.
Meanwhile, inflation is spiking, the former President is making everyone nervous (but it is good ratings to talk about him constantly), the hospitals are overfull, the infection rate is a Hockey Stick (the conservatives said that the Climate Change Hockey Stick Graph wasn’t real), the Climate is about to Disappear Florida, and the 4th Estate focuses on Gaslighting everyone into believing that Biden is a Failure, etc.
One idiot in government blamed Inslee for putting too much energy on the pandemic and mandates and not enough on plowing Hwy 20 between Colville and Mazama and didn’t see any connection.
Finally, yesterday Mitch McConnell said that African Americans are voting just as much as Americans.
What did he exactly mean by that offensive remark? The times are certainly more and more like they are now than they ever used to be! Mitch looks like a turtle to some but to my eyes he looks like some of the nastiest cats in those FailArmy videos.
I am experiencing nIb'poH.
