Be fair.
Sorry, life is not fair now.
I know somebody who waited upwards of six hours for a COVID test yesterday.
She had been looking for days to be tested, finally found a testing site that wasn’t full of people signed up for the test, and she put her name on the list …
Only to wait, wait and wait some more.
She did not get back to me that she finally got her test after six hours of waiting, and for all I know, she is still waiting.
Be fair.
No, life is not fair, when a professional sports team, the Brooklyn Nets, finally bow down to the imbecilic wishes of one of their players who has not been inoculated, Kyrie Irving, and added him to their roster in the midst of a period where just about every team in the NBA has a cauldron of players out with the virus.
The trouble is, he still can’t play in New York City—which means he can’t play in home games at Barclsys Center nor road games at Madison Square Garden--because he has not gotten his shots, and even his presence in these arenas goes against city rules against those who have not received their shots even being in these arenas.
The problem is that that rule is skirted by another rule stating that those without shots can actually play in these arenas if they are part of a visiting team, because the rules of the city where they came from trumps the rules of the city they visit.
Oh, and better yet, once Irving was added to the roster, he was out based on COVID protocols because …
He was infected with the virus.
Be fair.
New York City has become the center of the coronavirus once again, or at least the variant form of the virus.
However, New Year’s Eve in Times Square continues to be a go, although restrictions have been put in place to try to ensure safety over stupidity.
However, you just know that stupidity triumphs here, because to even have a restricted celebration in a city where people are standing on lines for hours at a time waiting to be tested shows sheer ignorance.
But you also have a mayor who wants his two terms in that position to go out with a blaze of glory—right after the celebration, he goes back to being a private citizen—so you just know that stupidity once again triumphs over science and reality when we are tailkng about how elected officials are handling this virus.
Be fair.
While we are being ravaged by paranoia created by our elected officials related to the omnicom variant, we are continuing to push aside the fact that millions of our nation’s service members continue to protect our country, but our country is not protecting them—
Meaning that millions upon millions of military families do not have food to put on their tables as we move from 2021 to 2022.
Due to a number of factors—including the existence of the virus and what it has done to the employment and health of that community—many of these families, with at least one family member away protecting us from harm—doesn’t have the means to eat, or at least eat regularly.
I have covered this subject, written about it extensively, and talked to people who are trying to make sure that none of these families go hungry, but it is a monumental task that shows no end in sight.
Be fair.
No, there is no fairness around right now.
The over-emphasis on this virus—which exists but which we, as a civilization, have made much worse, in particular with this variant, than it ever could actually be, has thrown the world into a tizzy that also shows no signs of ebbing.
Politicians have used it to their advantage to further their own personal agendas, so-called experts have as good a read on this thing as your average Joe does, and we are being made hysterical right now, where even a sudden cough or sneeze translates to the need for a test to make sure that one does not have the virus.
This is simply absolute stupidity, which is being exacerbated by the fact that we simply don’t have enough test kits, or personnel to administer them, to go around to everyone standing on the lines, probably 90 percent of whom really don’t need to be tested to begin with.
Use common sense. Stay home if you don’t feel well. Don’t stand on lines, because if you do have the virus—or the flu, or the common cold—you are infecting others by yoiur presence.
Unless it gets very bad for you, wait the thing out until it subsides into nothing, which should take just a few days.
Leave the tests for those who really and absolutely need them.
Look, what I just said is not going to happen, because we are in a panic mode right now, a mode that we have been put into by our legislators and others, who have no idea what they are doing or have done, to the populace that they are supposed to be serving.
Use your brain. That is why you have one in your head.
Unfortunately, the act of thinking has seemingly been abandoned by the populace now, in a situation where it actually should be ramped up.
And in conclusion …
Be fair.
