Damn, I’ve been depressed lately. This whole COVID thingie is really getting me down. First they cancelled a book conference that I was totally looking forward to next month. Then they cancelled the Democratic presidential convention. Then they limited the Republican presidential convention’s size by not allowing the press to attend (that would be me — now I gotta go sit on the curb across the street.) And then my other favorite book conference was just cancelled too — scheduled to have taken place a full eight months from now. And they even cancelled my birthday party! 018 // Nick Pineault – COVID: It Was Just A Bad Flu After All – The EMF Guy
Then I started thinking about America’s children. No “first day of school” photos for them to look forward to either. How come it’s okay for WalMart workers, home appliance retailers and banksters to be exposed to COVID but teachers can’t take the same risks? And what exactly are the dangers of “Death by Despair” to our kids? That should be taken into consideration too when deciding not to open our schools. What will happen to this new “Generation C”? Sucks to be them.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/aug/03/generation-covid-coronavirus-children-help

PS: I actually went over to IKEA yesterday. There must have been at least 500 people there, buying pillows, sheets, dinnerware, coffee tables and sofas like crazy. Nope, no coronavirus is ever gonna come between Americans and their furniture needs! Too bad they don’t feel the same way about schooling.
What does a top Aussie doctor say about Australia’s lock-down? “Essentially, we are risking a 10-20-fold increase in mortality in those aged under 60 from COVID lockdowns compared to COVID itself. This is on top of the devastation caused to our society due to a collapsed economy with poorer health, education, sports and the arts.” If I was under age 60 and living down under, I’d be totally pissed off! http://asenseofplacemagazine.com/deathly-lockdowns-compound-australias-covid-fiasco/
