We've Lost Our Ever-lovin' Minds: Workaround Edition

Americans are by nature innovative. But these covid-restriction workarounds are just the worst.

The massive failure of lockdowns will be studies for decades. The data will not be pretty but the lengths to which people have gone to get back to normal is something we should all laugh at. And maybe shed a tear or two over. (Part 1 here)

With Halloween upon us this weekend let’s look back on last year’s disaster. Here a local police chief demonstrates how to deliver candy to little goblins in a safe way.

On Halloween Sampson and the mayor demonstrate how people can use a tube to hand out candy

Nothing says safety like blowing a tuba through a slit in your mask.

The holes on the mask are one thing... but heaven forbid those droplets go all the way through these brass bass tubing and infect an entire stadium! We’ve lost our ever-lovin minds.

This is a high school band practice in Wenatchee,WA

As a educator you can not be this stupid! Fire the Music Teacher!

Oh my. This particular dance charade is trying to ward off the danger of facing another person for a group of people who have a near zero risk from covid. Dancing with their arms behind their back. Ugh.

This is where I get angry. So many death certificates list “failure to thrive” as a first level characterization of mortality. So many of our elderly died without people next to them.

Emotional moment grandma and grandpa hug their grandkids using a 'hugging station'

Also - I give you a sorry excuse for a rave. Good gratious. I’m counting on these delinquents to shake things up and they just - comply.

This may well be the SADDEST rave in history I'm truly concerned we end pissing off Techno Gods, and suffering Their Wrath in the shape of Boring Covid Forever Because indeed Covid is ludicrously sentimental, pompous and BORING Enough life stolen! @prof_freedom 9999 summoning

Please stop the madness.
