PANICKERS, HOARDERS AND JUST PLAIN IDIOTS
With Covid19 now dominant in our lives, share with me some of the stupidities that abound.
I no longer make excuses or try to explain why it is that the more I see of humanity the more I love my dog. Not an original thought, but what the hell, when I can’t be original, I copy, fast.
A terribly busy superstore delivery driver told us that earlier today, he drove 30 Miles round trip to deliver a small basket of candies and chocolate. Nothing else. His management had told him — no exceptions, do every delivery no matter how small
Another driver had to make a substantial delivery including the maximum allowed of dozens of items … to a family which lives directly across the road from the store.
Doctors at hospitals are short of protective clothing and other equipment, because managers did not see the problem coming, even when it was coming and they knew it. A Health Service senior manager was heard to say, “Y-e-e-e-e-s, I know. But it won’t reach this area. We’ll order a few Personal Protection Items for staff, but no need to panic.” His hospital is now nearing capacity with Covid19 patients.
About twenty beer-fuelled half-witted teens got together to have a barbeque despite shouted government instructions not to gather in groups.
A post office employee was heard to say “this is all a storm in a teacup. I’m doing my job and serving people and I can’t do that if I have to be two metres from people. I’m fine.”
Thousand of people still believe that if they go into the open air, in parks, they cannot be infected no matter how close they are to their fellow imbeciles.
Reports from the superstores indicate that people are buying all kinds of perishable stuff, in quantities they could not possibly consume before the stuff in question goes blue and starts to stink. Tailor your purchases to what you need, and/or to your refrigeration/freezer capacity? Now there’s an idea!
By the way: people who call me regularly because they know I watch events in the USA, are saying, “Trump said WHAAAAT??? Come on, you’re a humorist. You made that up”. No, I didn't. No place for jokes, here.
P.S. On the good side of humanity: The UK Government put out a call for 250,000 volunteers to help with phones, driving, anything appropriate. The total is now over 500,000. Faith at least partially restored.
