There's been a post circulating on the internet from someone named Veronika McKee that describes the "upside" of the insane response that many governments and organizations have had to the Covid-19 Pandemic. It's an upbeat and hopeful post, but I have to say that it doesn't look like an objective take on reality to me. In fact, my observations are almost opposite. I've taken the liberty of writing a "counter point." I'll post the original after mine, and everyone can decide which is closer to reality.
They couldn’t go to the pool, so they stayed home and drank beer or soda to cool off
They couldn’t go to restaurants so they ordered Grubb Hub and watched Netflix
They couldn’t go to clubs so they got hooked on internet porn and masturbation
They couldn’t go to the gym so they bought a home fitness device and used it to dry clothes while getting fat
They couldn’t go to grocery stores so they bought chips at 7-11
They couldn’t go to sports events so they subscribed to NFL ticket and NBA League Pass
They were told they couldn’t travel but decided not to travel because they didn’t know how they’d be treated when they got there anyway
They lost their jobs so they took whatever handouts were available, then turned to crime or homelessness in their despair
They lost friends and family and wondered if they ever really had any to begin with
Everything that’s happening is totally insane, and inhumane
They often wondered how they could be criminalized for being healthy
In fact, wondered if freedom was always an illusion that could be revoked at any time
What we build now is the future
I wouldn’t mistake this era for anything but the culmination of a creeping tyranny that has metastasized over the past 50 years
It’s past time for the Sovereign to awaken
It's time for this to end
And now the original - you decide...
