    Since covid was officially declared a pandemic. Good lord! Looking back at the last year is just pure insanity. There was a time when every time I got out of my truck I would spray myself with Lysol. There was a time when I went thru 10-20 disposable gloves a day. How about the insanity at the grocery stores? My wife and I taking turns hitting every store we can get to, looking for wipes, sanitizer, bleach, etc. Because it truly felt like a life and death situation. And sadly for way too many, covid was a life and death situation.

    I was discussing the last year with a dear friend of mine last night. We sat in his garage, put on the Blackhawks game, and shared some adult beverages. It was great. Because as we all remember, it wasn't too long ago where none of us were allowed to do just that. We talked about everyone in the country, and how some handled this pandemic. Who can forget the absolute lunatics who lost their fucking minds, because they were asked to wear a mask? All the videos that showed up on the news of folks in a Walmart, Target, gas station etc. who literally turned in to 3 year olds because they were asked to wear a mask. And in the whole scheme of things, is wearing a mask all that much to ask?

    How about the food stores? Holy fuck! The meat section just being empty? There was a day when I went shopping that the ENTIRE frozen vegetable section was COMPLETELY EMPTY. Other than frozen okra. I guess people are not a fan of okra.

    We discussed friends and family who lost jobs. We discussed how our nation handled this pandemic, and all the mistakes(in our eyes)that were made. Could we have shut down the nation for 2 months? As in a complete shutdown? Could we have just froze everything? Would it have changed or slowed down how the virus spread through our nation?

    We discussed the nightmare that was New York City, in the early stages of covid. We discussed that military hospital ship that was parked there. How about the turning Central Park in to a field hospital? So many deaths. So damn sad.

    Its been quite a fucking year, that's for sure.

    Anyway.

    Share some thoughts about the last year. Looking back, what are some of the things that will always stand out to you? The hoarding at the stores? The terror of not finding wipes or disinfectant? The fear of just walking out your front door? and obviously the fear of getting sick.

    Lockdowns didn't work
    You didn't mention one thing about being healthy nor do I blame you because the media never mentioned taking vitamin C,D and zinc helped with covid. 
    They closed down parks and activities outside and said Netflix and chill for a couple of months when people should have been outside walking, exercising and getting sunlight.
    Plexi glass is theatre because a virus can swoop around plexi glass
    Never in history has a vaccine been produced this fast pushed this hard. Doesn't anyone find it odd the food, marijuana, money etc...etc.. they are giving away to get a shot for a vaccine?
    We should just sheltered the elderly and vulnerable. 
    Covid is spread through the air not surfaces
    And you are talking about shutting down the country for two months GTFOH...
    Also what current pharmaceuticals do we have that can help fight it.
    The rich got Richer and the poor got poorer. Not to mention how far behind inner city kids are now because remote learning was everything but learning.  
    And if my favorite band mandates a vaccine to see them live they are not the band that stands up for the people anymore.
