Covid Logic

 Attention: Rudeness alert. 

But this spiel, courtesy of our friend Connie Pelster, does encapsulate some of the weird double-standards Covid-19 has introduced into our lives. Legislatures and Congress, are you listening -- and noticing this??

    Don't jump all over me for not cooperating. The Brick and I both wear masks, regularly wash our hands, practice social distancing (even to the point of not going to church, when we want to), use sanitizer, etc. etc. But I still don't understand why shopping with strangers at the grocery store is okay -- but going to church with friends, properly separated, is not. 

     It. Doesn't. Make Sense. And this post points many of those inequities out.

Me AT GROCERY STORE:

Why is there plastic on the payment keypad?

Cashier: to protect people from Covid.

Me : but isn’t everyone touching the plastic keypad the same way they would the regular keypad?🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Cashier: no words. Confused look. 

Me : Why Dont you pack the grocery bags anymore? 

Cashier : Because of covid 19 to reduce the spread of catching or spreading the virus. 

Me : But a shelf packer took it out of a box and put on the shelf, a few customers might of picked it up and put back deciding they Dont want it, I put it in my cart then on the conveyer belt, YOU pick it up to scan it.. But putting it in a bag after you scan is risky?? 

Cashier : no words, confused look  

Me AT DRIVE-THRU

Server: (holds a tray out the window with a bag of food for logical friend to grab)

Me: why is my bag of food on a tray?

Server: so I don’t touch your food because of Covid.

Me: didn’t the cook touch my food? Didn’t the person wrapping my food touch it and then touch it again when placing it in my bag? Didn’t you touch the bag and put it on the tray? Didn’t you touch the tray? 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Server: no words. Confused look. 

Me in SOCIETY 

Society ; If you cough or sneeze do it in your elbow or sleeve, 

Also society : Dont shake hands or hug anyone or you will spread the virus.. 

To greet people do an elbow tap instead. 

Me : Elbow tap 🤷‍♀️? Isn't that where you tell people to sneeze or cough? into their elbow? Now you want people to tap each other with that elbow  🤦‍♀️ 

wouldn't it be safer to sneeze into elbow and shake hands like we did before Covid 🤷‍♀️

Me AT RESTAURANT:

Hostess: ok, I can seat you at this table right here (4 feet away), but I will need you to wear a mask to the table.

Me: what happens when I get to the table?

Hostess: you can take off the mask.

Me: then it is safe over there?

Hostess: yes.

Me: are those fans blowing above the table? Is that the air-conditioning I feel? Is the air circulating in here?🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Hostess: no words. Confused look.

SOCIETY : You are not allowed to stand and drink at the pub you have to sit down. 

But at the shopping centre you are not allowed to sit down, all the chairs are roped off. 

Who thinks this shit up?

Life is hard for logical people right now. We are being raised without the ability to process and execute logic 

  Amen to that.
