No more stupid than closing the beaches or chlorinated swimming pools.
Does the virus like UV light? Salt water? High temperatures? Sand? Nope. What do people at a beach naturally do? Spread out.
Where do you think you’re more likely to get this virus, at a local grocery store, or a swimming pool where you can smell the chorine in the air? Hell, that pool is probably one of the more safe places to be!!!
Why are we closing some of these things? Because you need to do something! Blind action for the sake of taking action and things where you have a fake moral objection to them or where people are happy and partying during these depressing times must be banned. We must all bow our heads and wear our masks together. But what do you think, will public schools open soon? You bet. Because with all those single moms and dual income households there are few politicians that will stand it the way of that.
Now you have mask Nazi’s. Businesses all trying to CYA and do things that are absurd but create the appearance they did something.
Politicians that take action just so they show leadership in crisis. But it’s mostly idiotic and in many cases literally counter productive, i.e. Quomo ordering Covid positive old folks be taken back into senior living homes.
This is so stupid it is embarrassing!
What is fascinating to me, is how extreme this “herd instinct is.” How fast and dynamic things are and how little is actually based on science and numbers.
Ronald Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

I wandered into the local Wal-Mart yesterday. When the gal at the front door asked I wanted a mask I just smiled and said no.
While I was there I saw just about everyone wearing a mask. Two people were even wearing those full face shields like the coroners wear when sawing into bone.
Fauci the faux must be so proud of himself.
