You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs!

Bet a lot of people are packing on the pounds, as well.

This was all foreseeable and predicted and pointed out months ago.

Covid-19 gave me the Covid-20. 20 lbs from sitting around grazing on Cheetos and Little Debbie snacks.

Do you know what is not through the roof?
New cases of coronavirus in states that are reopening.

It’s OK to die of anything but you-know-what.

Anecdotal report: I don’t know anyone who has tested positive for a Covid 19. However, I just learned that my brother-in-law’s 23 year old grandson died of a drug overdose last Friday.

The shutdown was about Risk Mitigation. The fear was that if we didn’t shutdown, people would die and families would face great heartbreak for lost loved ones.
Well, we shutdown. We got everything we were afraid of getting. Bad choice. I’m pretty sure the cure is worse than the disease.

All of these count as Chinese casualties, in any case. COVID and Fentanyl are both Made in China.

I just heard a report on the local news that this a$$hole of a governor in NJ is going to keep the state locked down until a vaccine is developed.

That may be his intent, but it won’t happen.

"So a lot of people—on top of the instability of the market, the financial crisis—they might have lost a job,..."
Good! They won't be preparing your contaminated food with their nasty hands in roach-ridden restaurant kitchens. Those jobs helped them to maintain, while they introduced more people to drugs, committed thefts, rapes, murders, etc. They've now lost the protection of their addicted managers and other community crooks and their fake legitimacy along with it. Round 'em up, and put them on guarded trash cleanup and lawn details.

Hey I resemble that remark. I am fighting the quarantine 15 but so far I am losing the battle.
As for increased alcohol consumption, I could get all self righteous and judgemental, but there was a certain saying about a pot and a kettle keeps coming to mind.
This GD lockdown needs to end and end soon!

Self-righteousness is just a phony form of respectability.
