Really?

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...
