COVID19 Verses WNCSSA Grass Valley Slow-pitch Softball

Government Panic, Panics the Ignorant.

I have been keeping my mouth, or fingers quiet, online, but being vocal about this at work, to family and friends, and to the stranger who have no clue, but now I need to give my two cents on this Governmental, Coverup, Conspiracy thing they call the COVID19 Pandemic.

When this first hit the airwaves back in late January of 2020, there were memes about the Corona Virus (Corona being the beer) and people thought it was funny. Of course I had no idea what they were referring too until the shutdown in March.

We were told, or at least I remember hearing, there would be at least 3 million people dead, just in the United States. Well, heck yeah, I became worried and panicked, but unlike most, I did not horde paper products or food thinking it was the end of the world. I have faith in my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ that if it were, I was not worried about it.

I did my research on what we were dealing with. A VIRUS. And learned what a virus is and how it lives and dies. Thus once I became educated about this virus, I was no longer worried, panicked, or unprepared.

COVID by the Numbers

As the days and months passed, the numbers grew of confirmed cases all over the world. Yet, the deaths stayed around .02% of the confirmed cases. Hmm. Seems to me that this is NOT a deadly virus as they informed us. Yes, people with pre-existing health issues such as the elderly, young children, and such are more at risk of complications, but with 6 hundred thousand confirmed and 12,000 deaths in 5 months — you have to take in the fact that this started in December of 2019 (hense the 19 in the COVID 19) — so by April of 2020 these were the numbers IN THE WORLD!

Then, we started hearing that any death was related to COVID19 no matter what the cause: car accident they added the Virus to the cause. And this is not made up or suburban conspiracy. A close friend lost his mother to OLD AGE and the hospital put down COVID19 much to the anger of the family members. I have not asked if that was rectified or not.

So, the numbers then seem to be slightly skewed. I told everyone to get their facts by looking at the CDC and World Health Organization websites. Now you tell me we cannot even trust them?

LOCK DOWN! STAY HOME! STOP THE SPEARD OF THE VIRUS!

I am not saying that the lock down that the entire world, or most of it, did was a bad idea. I am glad that it happened. March 2 - 4, 2020 I was in San Diego attending the Social Media Marketing World Conference and the major thing that I noticed is that it was not widely attended. They even mentioned that the Chinese and some other countries were not allowed to attend. Hmm.

We wore no masks. did not social distance ourselves. Life was as normal as usual. But on the plane home I was thinking on how to stop the spread of a virus — this was before I educated myself about viruses — I thought the best thing to do is stop people from interacting for a couple of weeks, maybe a month to stop the spread and kill it off. Hmm. And they did that. But it kept going. The numbers grew. But did they really?

Control the Flock, Control the Power.

Many businesses shut down. Many people could not work. The PANIC, oops, the Pandemic, is in full motion. The government had control. Is this what it was about? How to control the world's population? Was it terrorists wanting to disrupt the financial system, again? And which group? Was it the banking system covering up an error? People blamed Trump, but how could the virus be his fault that has taken over the world? USE YOUR BRAIN PEOPLE! It is NOT one person. It may not even be just one group. It could be a real health issue and the people that govern us really care about our health.

HA! HA! hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa. NO!

And we just let it happen. Of course, at first we thought it was a real health issue, and maybe it was, and the lock down suppressed a major portion of the cases and possibly deaths that this virus could have caused. But now that 11 months have passed and the numbers — like we believe the numbers — they have not increased like they said they would.

Getting used to the new normal

UHG. I hate the phrase "New Normal" and people, the MEDIA, saying this is the new normal. It will be the new normal if you let become the new normal. Which we all know they want it to be.

The media has hyped up the panic with their panic and negative stories. Instead of focusing on the confirmed cases, focus on the cleared cases. The people that got better, which is 96% of the people that get it get better. Yes, I know. The news is not about FACT! It is about ENTERTAINMENT. How do we get more people top watch us, so we can charge more money for the commercials? let us start making new be more about feelings, emotions, and propaganda. Their motivation is not to tell you the truth but to excite your emotions and let you cause the latest news story. You should watch Nightcrawler. Does art imitate life, or life imitate art? BOTH.

Inconsistencies in the Use of Wearing Masks and Other Safety Precautions

Things have opened up. We can go out to eat, shop in stores, and travel within the states, but we have to have a mask, or a cover to enter — my wife says the sign just read I had to have one on me, it did not say I had to be wearing it. I think that is implied sweetie.

The Correct Mask to Wear

Early on in the MASK WEARING REQUIREMENTS I said the only mask that will stop the virus coming in and out is the N95. Now we all know that you cannot get the virus through the skin. You can only get it through your EYES, NOSE, and MOUTH. So when wearing a mask, what is covering your eyes? Granted, when the other person is wearing a mask and is six feet away, the spittle does not get close to you. Fine. A win for wearing a mask.

The Mask and Fingers

But, again, 99% of the people are not wearing an N95 mask that keep the virus in and out. They are wearing a thin representation of a medical mask, or now more people are wearing cloth masks they made or bought online. These so called face coverings absorb the moisture from your nose and mouth which, if you have any disease is now on the mask. So when you touch the mask to adjust it or take it off and hang it around your neck or chin, the virus is now on your FINGERS, unless you are one of the VERY FEW that take your maks off by the ear strap and NEVER handle it any other way. AH HA! Got you. EVERYONE touches their mask where they breath. Thus, they have their saliva and what ever is in the saliva on their fingers.

I am a writer and story-teller, which means I observe people — I watch them. Have been since 1970. 99% of the people I have observed wearing masks do it incorrectly, and mostly because they touch the area where their mouth and nose are without any thought of what they are doing.

Now they take their fingers and open the freezer door at the grocery store, touch the gas pump, open the door to the restaurant, and many many other things people touch. So the next person who touches the item now gets the, what ever was on the object, on their hands. Then they for some stupid reason TOUCH THEIR FACE. Eyes, Nose, and or Mouth! And Viala! The mask did not help!

The Clean and Dirty Pen Jars.

Places like doctor's offices and banks have a jar of clean pens and when you are done with one it goes in the jar of dirty pens. But the clipboard they handed me with their bare-hands after I have used it is returned to them with their bare-hands. And put back with the rest of the clipboards without cleaning it. So, I will not give the next person what I have through the pen, they will get it from the clipboard. I guess the Pen Is Mightier Than the Board.

Longevity of a Mask

Another thing about masks is that you should replace it every couple of hours because bacteria build up from the stuff coming out of your nose and mouth. It scares me to think that someone would wear the same mask for several days without cleaning it. They will get sick from something else, not COVID19.

Be with hundreds of people inside, but cannot go Camping?

This inconsistency of health safety procedures is getting really old. One department does it this way, another does if differently, and most contradict each other as well as their own regulations. I am not sure if you are blind and do not see this, or just do not care, but these inconsistencies show the lack of education, knowledge, and thought that the people who think they know what is best for us and those that are in charge of telling us what we can and cannot do actually KNOW NOTHING!

I can mingle with hundreds of people inside in a box store, but cannot go camping outside? I can sit next to people in a restaurant. But cannot go hiking by myself with NO ONE around? We cannot even play softball.

Why are you still wearing a mask?

I watch motorsports such as F1, Nascar, and many others. F1 states that they have a COVID19 clean bubble with their sport and only those tested negative for the virus are allowed at the track. OKAY.

Tell me why then, do they still wear masks? The lone roaming guy that is standing on top of the garage watching the cars exit is still wearing a mask. The cameraman is 10 feet away from him, and it is just the two of them up there. So why wear the mask? Take it off so we can understand you.

The commentators in the studio are 10 feet away and not wearing a mask. INSIDE with other people where the air gets circulated and shared. NO the virus is not airborne, but the moisture in a room can carry it to others. Inside no masks, outside no one around a mask is worn. Does not make any sense.

People will not change because you tell them to.

I am done with Baseball, Football, Basketball, and such. To tell people to end racism is like telling them to stop cursing. It does not work that way. They can be racist in their home, they have that right. They can curse in their home. Granted saying something racist out in public is not a good thing. Nor is cursing in a public place. But people do it.

You are either a racist or not. Racists do not change over night. And telling them not to be a racist is not going to make them stop being a racist. It sparks their fire even more. So, telling us to end racism with their media propaganda when I am NOT a racist is a waste of time. Most people in this world are not racists — Judgemental? Yes. Ignorant about cultures and races? Yes. But racist where they are violent to others? No.

A small minority of the people in the world that seem to be based on an individual's rights, hence when being arrested and detained by authorities, is when the word racism is used. Whether the individual in question has engaged in criminal activities and the authorities feel it necessary to inflict bodily harm is the issue. For me, I do not care what color, race, sex, size, or country you come from, but if you are captured or asked to cooperate while the authorities are investigating, then and resistance should be met with force. The question is not the amount of force, but should force have been used on certain individuals. The same force is used for anyone who is caught in criminal activities.

But I was not there and the videos do not show the whole picture of the altercation. Again, it is not the majority that needs to be told to love thy neighbor, but a small portion that are in power to use their racism for harm. Police Officers, Judges, Attorneys, Business Owners, Government Officials, Community Leaders, and such. Because the average person, unless provoked to protect himself, is not going to make a fuss because of some one of color or lack there of. RASISM IS NOT JUST ONE COLOR.

I do not understand why the color of someone's the skin, their nationality, or sex matters. We are all people. In this life together. It would behoove us to work together to solve real problems like water, air, and food shortages.

Love is all you need. But, I cannot tell you to love thy neighbor. You either will or you will not. But what good is hate doing you? I know you will justify your reasonings to make you feel like you are in control of your life, but you are not.

The same thing goes when I tell you to Turn Your Headlights On For Safety. You either will or you will not. But, I can remind you that this is a safety thing for everyone. And if you refuse, that just means you are not a team player.

Think about it. You can see the stars and those lights are millions of light years away. Which means you can see a car from a long distance if they have their lights on, which allows you to make a safer decision in regards to that vehicle. Maybe you should turn your lights on so they can see you.
