I have been talking shit on Twitter, because that’s all the action (aside from voting when it’s time) that I can do about this pandemic/economic situation. Arizona’s Governor has now not only refused to shut down (reasonable) non-essential businesses–he blocked mayors and other local governments from doing it.
He sent out a list of essential businesses that would stay open: All the things you would expect such as health care and residential (LTC) homes, grocery, gas, and charity. But also schools and day cares, ride-sharing, real estate, hotels/motels. Golf courses, pawn shops, gun stores, laundry services. Which of course, is fucking ridiculous.
And because both our Governor and our Federal Government are pretending this Coronavirus pandemic is just another flu, the residents of AZ are not taking it seriously and modifying their behavior for the most part. And they have a false sense of security because Arizona’s positive tests are relatively low. What people aren’t accounting for is that tests can’t be positive if they aren’t given. The state’s testing parameters are you must have traveled internationally or come into direct contact with someone who has. And you have to be sick to the point of requiring a respirator. So, in short, not many people. Arizona isn’t testing hardly anybody that has just all symptoms.
Also according to China, 1/3 of the people who had positive results, were asymptomatic. And on the cruise ship that had all the positives, half of those that tested positives were asymptomatic. Meaning, even people that think they’re healthy are spreading Coronavirus. One other scary conclusion from that Princess whatever cruise ship: All the passengers were off the ship for 16 days. And cleaning had not commenced. Scientists were swabbing cabins for signs of the virus. And they did find live virus. SIXTEEN days after passengers had disembarked. The virus lived on surfaces for over 2 weeks!
So I’m frustrated with the people consuming Fox news and Trump briefings and taking it as truth. Believing it to everyone’s detriment. And endangering us all. I don’t understand why people would support politicians that go against their own interests. News Flash–Arizona has an old population. And a lot of these seniors are the ones drinking the republican kool-aid, which endangers their life. I just don’t get it…
