Phil Hands for December 01, 2020

It is, for the most part, our own damned fault. Though I give a lot of (negative) credit to this administration which did its very best to NOT do the right thing.

As Kimberly GARGOYLE had said, “The best is yet to come!!”

The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally that drew 462,000 riders to a town of 7,000 couldn’t possibly be a super spreading event…….

….and now, about Thanksgiving……

Oh it’s been here about two months now. Through the summer about 300 cases here in Smallville, county of 15k, now it is 1100+ and rising. Should be at least 10% by January.

Most of them enjoyed a family turkey dinner, and went to church with no masks, sang praises and prayed. We’ll see how that works for them.

Boy is that one slow-moving meteor! It looks to be only about fifty feet from the church; but the distance between a small-town America that looked like that, and the depressed and opioid-ravaged version that we had reached by the year that COVID-19 is so numbered for, has to be measured in decades.

It’s got to be a HOAX Trump said. You can’t see it or smell it !

Until you feel it and realize all the hospital beds are taken and you’re in a tent in a Walmart parking lot.

How appropriate is that the virus is heading for the church.! Thanks to the prostrifers on the Supreme Court, they decided to allow death in the churches.

Hey, that cross is all the protection small-town America needs. Ask them!

Sadly inevitable. After the flood of misinformation coming from the White House, a lot of his rural followers thought they were safe because they weren’t in one of those “dirty” cities. So now, one person out of every thousand in South Dakota is DEAD. In small towns, where everyone interacts, the virus spreads like wildfire, since it only takes one infectious person.

Population density only led to more immediate spread, but once it is present, it spreads just fine in small towns and within families.

Don’t be foolish, folks. Until at least 80% of Americans are vaccinated with a high-quality vaccine, we are in active danger. And even then, because we don’t know how long the immunity lasts (antibodies from exposure last as little as several months), we can’t completely let our guard down. We need to have virtually everyone vaccinated so the virus has nowhere to go – and it will be at least six months before it is readily available.

And nobody saw this coming? Were there no warnings? Even when the trajectory was plotted and the math showed likely impact sites and potential casualty rates? Oh, wait. It’s a hoax. It’ll veer off or just disappear miraculously. We don’t want a panic, now do we? /s

…and no one saw it coming, heard it coming, or tripped over bodies in the street.

I love how the anti-mask maskholes are trashing all those who wear a mask, but then wonder why, when 40% refuse for political reasons to wear one, why this wave is so bad!

There was a Futurama episode, “The Day the Earth Stood Stupid.” Everyone on Earth turned into a moron, from some outer space thing. Thankfully, it has turned out to be only 50% effective, but that half may well take the rest of us down with them.

Religious people need to heed the moral of this story:

A well-known story tells of a man who is trapped on his roof-top during a flood. First his neighbour passed by in a rubber dinghy and asked him to jump in. “No thank you,” he said, “God will provide.” He gave the same reply when a police speedboat and then a military helicopter offered to rescue him.

When he died and went to heaven, he accused God of not saving him. God boomed, “I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what else did you expect?”

Don’t see any guns in the back of that truck.. what kind of a small town is this anyway?

Doctor to bridge, doctor to bridge, why didn’t you put the deflector shield [facemasks] on?

Stay tuned another big consumer event is coming called Xmas.

Small town America, like small town anywhere, was destroyed long ago by monopoly capitalism and compliant government allowing the decimation of independent business and pandering to the wealthy and conglomerates. To quote ‘The Tractors’ ‘the cat’s out the bag, the cow’s out the gate, it’s too late now, much too late.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kydZuR58I4

Republicans said they did not believe in science or reality but you kept voting for them.

Small town America… I taught in a small town where the nearest hospital was 20 miles away. The town ambulance was manned by volunteers who all had day jobs and minimal training as paramedics. If you lived long enough to arrive at the hospital, you were cared for by a nurse and a physician’s assistant with six rooms available for housing patients. I cringe when I think about COVID patients in these conditions.

Phil, don’t forget to thank The Messiah, who is the most effective force on the planet at spreading the virus.

We simply must get to herd mentality.
