This will be a short post, as I am still coming down from a very unfortunate encounter with a community friend.
I live in the foothills of northern California, about an hour east up the hill from Sacramento and we have personally seen very little virus activity, none reported from our community of 5 to 6000 residents, in other words, so far a bubble.
This area is also very republican with a strong bent on libertarian republican so while everyone has been keeping to the stay at home mandate, there are a lot of rumblings now in our towns of Auburn, Grass Valley and Nevada City to open up.
Ok so you have the background...this person I ran into at our local grocery store parking lot is a republican, we have had our ins and outs over the years but maintained a connection but today’s conversation that turned ugly was just more than I can handle without wanting to say fuck you( I didnt).
So the new talking point going out to all the good soldiers from right wing radio? There will be no vaccine or theurapeutics so it is what it is, lets get going now and just take it.
This is an especially dangerous campaign of words because regardless of the outcome of when we open up those words will cause longer and deeper depression amoung our citizenry; the right wing just want to rip open our chests and strip out our hopes(which at this point are still viable) just for the “win” Fuckers them all who lead the fearful masses into this.
