Downtown Raleigh had armed battyman walking around protesting 2nd Amendment rights when no one was even talking about taking away gun rights![]()
Folks are aching for normalcy and failing to grasp that da worlds they knew are gone. This shit is da new normal.
Mental health is declining for many. Many ain’t going to be able to handle it.
Agreed. It's notable and very impactful too when you see shit falling apart after a few days / weeks earlier this spring. Let alone months / years from now later in 2020 and into 2021/2022.
And these reopening date giving people a false sense of reality. They are expecting things to be the same, but you go out it’s far from it.
Agreed. The first few weeks were eery. Having to commute to work - hardly any cars or people out there. Thankfully work has followed all the rules and guidelines and taken things very seriously. Lots of updates. People haven't wavered & have cooperated.
Got really frustrated in April with some of the hotter weather. Packs of people out for regular running and cycling groups. All travelling in close distance / proximity to one another. Recycled air. Others around them walking and jogging ... people thinking everything's fine. It isn't. It wasn't. People still need to set the right example(s). Others get jealous and envious of those habits ... they see others doing it and think - "Well, I can too ..."
"It only affects the older population ..."
"I'm young and healthy ... not a problem for me ..."
That's not the fucking point. Damn. Think about your parent(s). Your older friend(s). Your aunt(s) or uncle(s). People in your circle that have battled heart attacks, strokes, asthma, heart ailments, diabetes & more over the decades.
Exactly! It goes to show you how much people think of themselves first instead of how they effect others. It’s one of my biggest dislikes about humans.
Needed some work done on the car. So I walked to the shop to go get the vehicle. Let me tell you that this 'new normal' seems to be very close to the old normal up here in NE Ohio. Shop is 4 miles away, so I got to observe a good deal in slow motion. Passed a couple hair salons and I don't know what rules they were following.And these reopening date giving people a false sense of reality.

It took me a while to get use to seeing people wearing masks all the time. Now stores are opening with limited capacity.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this unfolds. I think violence have went down nationally and probably globally as well.
Yep we told you so
Went to Lyndhurst Aldi yesterday. Some old dude, with a mask on, was telling the guy cleaning the cart that this is all not needed. Then asked him does he know anyone that died from it.Needed some work done on the car. So I walked to the shop to go get the vehicle.

Parking lots jam packed. People outside kicking it.
I guess 'new normal' is going to vary greatly by region. I said it before, the numbers just aren't there yet and combining that with official reopenings does give confidence(or false sense of reality as you stated). I searched online for Georgia and shit didn't hit the fan there since reopening 3 weeks ago. If Ohio mirrors that, forget about it. It will be summer as usual up here.![]()
