Mixed emotions at the same time
-
Flash forward to an older man holding up his index finger with an ever so slight shaking as he says to the socially distanced children ....
Back in my day we used to hug, shake hands, huddle in football, go to concerts and sporting events with thousands of people there - sitting inches apart... go out to restaurants and bars, have parties, family gatherings, friends, we played close, kissed as a greeting and kissed a loved one more... we walked around without masks, unless one was needed for work or something ... mixed it all up with groups of people ... and woke up the next day ready to casually go about the day as it came and it was .... it was.... it was good....
The children listened closely, but could not really put themselves in this thought ... or really understand it at all...
The teacher thanked the guest speaker and gave him the "all clear" signal to walk down the hallway and back to yesterday...

I know those masks mean well...but sometimes I get pissed off about having to wear one and that things have come to this .... where it is masks, circles to stand on, arrows, exits, weird hinge things on doors, hand sanitizer pump bottles and some kind of Clorox or Lysol wipes in plain sight, waiting in a parking lot until it is time to go into a place trying to be open,,, getting permission to enter my workplace,,, it is just the way it is ... and I don't like this new normal ....just a vent ... that it all turned into this....

I know what you mean, unfortunately this may be the new normal for some time.

Mixed emotions???
Sympathy for the man in Minneapolis, George Floyd. He did not deserve to die. For nothing.
Sympathy for all the stores & businesses that have not recovered from the covide crisis & now have been broken into & damaged & looted. Buildings burned to the ground. Cars torched. The protesters walking around with garbage bags full of stolen items. WTH.
Looting & vandalism does not solve anything people. Isn't it scary enough out there?

As a guess ... because of people protesting and not doing any kind of social distancing ... at least not in the news footages ...
Is there going to be a spike in the virus stuff in the protest areas in the next few weeks?
That would be multiple cities (multiple States).
I can understand why the protesting, but do not like some of the methods... and don't know if they work as intended?

Totally agree! My friend in L.A. said they have a 6 pm curfew there! Atlanta's is 9 pm.

A cop knelt on a human being's neck for 10 minutes. WHAT'S that got to do with Darwin's theorry??? Imagine someone doing that to someone you love. It's I.N.E.X.C.U.S.A.B.L.E. Period.

I was referring to the photo of the protesters (and looters) out there with no social distancing, many with no masks. Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the survival of the fittest. Therefore, some of them will get Covid-19 and some will die. My remark had nothing to do with the a-hole cop who murdered an innocent man. Yes, it is totally inexcusable and I would have charged him with 2nd degree murder, not 3rd/Manslaughter!
