As I travel around, it seems things are trying to return to normal. Kind of. I say “kind of” because as recently as mid-May, I was refused entry into a local Menards big-box-store because I wasn’t wearing a mask by a high school dropout wearing a rent-a-security uniform at the front door. Oh, they would be glad to sell me a mask and allow me in. But you know what Menards? You’ll never get another penny out of me.
Mid-May I noticed that a Dr. Scott Atlas was interviewed on Fox News and was saying the same things I’ve been saying, here, for the past 3 months.1
Memorial Day weekend, Hot Springs, AR started to see tourists return to the city. Nothing like years past but much better than recent months.
Party time at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri threatened to provide new/resurgent pandemics, according to “experts”. But no, it didn’t happen. In fact, new hospitalizations are down 40%, fewer new cases of infection are being reported and the reported death rate is down from 6% to 0.6%, in Missouri.2
Pressure to wear masks and keep social distancing seems to be lessening.
FoxNews.com has stopped posting a daily count of infections and deaths of coronavirus by state and city on it’s home page.
So, just like the Ebola hysteria a couple of years ago, this will pass to oblivion with no explanation of why it occurred or why we had to loose jobs, businesses and lives over so many “expert’s” wrong opinions.
From your grumpy Uncle Dave.
