Covid- It Is What It Is

I take no pleasure in raining on everyone's parade but the truth is things are headed down the crapper despite what you believe otherwise. * Movie cinemas are shutting down.
* More schools and colleges are pulling back on in-classroom sessions.
* The NFL full season schedule is starting to look grim.
* 60% of the restaurants say they may go out of business.
* Even the White House is suffering a Covid infestation.
* Airlines, cruise lines and all those associated with travel are tanking.
* Layoffs are going back up again.
* Covid hospitalizations are increasing again (including here in the Lehigh Valley).
* 20 States are seeing an increasing number of infections.
* And on and on. You get he idea. And what are we doing? Starting to open up again just before the flu season. Now that's some crazy kind of logic.

All the signs are the fall and winter seasons will be like few others we ever seen if people continue in this direction. I've mentioned it a few times here that we can't ignore or bullshit these things away. It has to be dealt with. The way we deal with it is everyone wears their damn mask. Maintain social distancing and sanitize ourselves and objects as much as possible. These viruses don't give a rats patootie who you are or what political party anyone belongs to. Ignore it at your own peril.

I'm not a doomsayer. Rather a realist. All the signs are there. If we continue to ignore them these will become ever increasingly obvious even to the most thickheaded among us. Either we take the bull by the horns or suffer the consequences thereof. Nature is relentless and uncompromising. Accept this as fact or learn the hard way in the coming days ahead. Don't leave your guard down. You've been warned.
