The "the sky is falling, the sky is falling!" mantra with the uptick in positives is once again on the loose.
I had a dentist appointment tomorrow. They called and talked to my wife, laying out a host of "rules" that I was expected to follow when I arrive tomorrow. Enter the building and call them (because the receptionist won't be at the window, presumably). Surrender my keys and my cell phone. They'll issue me a mask if I don't already have one on (I don't wear masks unless absolutely required, which has occurred exactly two times in the past month.)
Then, from a 10-foot-pole distance, they'd direct me to a handwashing station.
Then, after all that, when the rest of my body has come off the street and my home, they'll somehow from a 10-foot-pole distance clean my teeth.
**** that. I called and canceled the appointment. My teeth need cleaning, but I don't need the dumbass bullshit that goes along with the insane bleating that is going on.
H1N1. SARS. We haven't even gotten to the levels associated with these viruses, and you'd think there's been a resurgence of the Black Plague.
